Published as a quarterly since February 2005, MAKE Magazine is a hybrid magazine that brings the do-it-yourself mindset to all the technology in your life.
MAKEzine.com is the traditional portion of their web presence loaded with exciting projects that help individuals make the most of technology at home and away from home. Make Magazine celebrates your right to tweak, hack, and bend any technology to your own will.
In the spirit of a Global Web Presence, Make Television is Make Magazine’s Dot TV Channel which debuted online and on public television (broadcast / cable tv including WPBS 21) January 3rd of 2009. The series encourages everyone to invent, revent, recycle, upcycle, and act up. Based on the popular Make magazine, each half-hour episode inspires viewers to think, create, and, well, make interesting technological gadgets.
Make TV is taking advantage of Dot TV’s Golden Age and can be viewed or downloaded DRM-free in HD on MakeZine.tv. Make TV is also available on Vimeo, YouTube, blip.tv and iTunes… and now on LegalTorrents. Individuals can use any BitTorrenting p2p client to download the first episode of Make Television today. Make TV is a growing DIY movement of people who look at things a little different and who just might spark the next generation of scientists, engineers and makers.
Anthony Galima, U4H’s CEO said, “Make Magazine is really developing a wonderful Global Web Presence. They not only have developed a traditional .com, a blog, and a forum, but they are now harnessing the power of the Internet Television Merger and utilizing a Dot TV. This is very good news for U4H and the Dot TV Industry. For almost 3 years we have been developing a number of Dot TV News channels dedicated to popular publishers, publications, and magazines including AARP Magazine TV, DC Comics TV, McGraw-Hill TV, NRA Publications TV, and Smithsonian Magazine TV. The launching of Makezine TV and its almost immediate success illustrates there is very much a demand for Dot TV’s in the publishing field. Personally, I am a big fan of their content—it’s a lot of fun. If you ever wanted to learn how to turn your ordinary cell phone camera into a tool of espionage, or turn a VCR into a giant cat food feeder, or design a remote that will turn off just about any known television—their videos are great.”
MakeZine TV has set a new benchmark in industry standards and is soon to be showcased on Dot TV on Demand and Dot TV Guide’s listings. Be sure to check out this Dot TV News blog rather frequently for all the latest breaking news in the Dot TV Industry and please share your comments about Make TV.
