Make: technology on your time



The magazine Make:technology on your time has an interesting website with weblog, podcasts (well, they are just setting up the podcasts), tables of contents for all their issues, access to their digital edition (subscription necessary of course) and a place to discuss the articles. It's the articles themselves that look really cool.

They describe themselves:

The first magazine devoted to digital projects, hardware hacks, and DIY inspiration.


I hope they don't mind my posting their logo; after all, with this hearty review they are bound to see a jump in subscriptions! 8-)

Blogger template adapted in a cool way

This is an old site, but I like what this person did with the Blogger template I have been using: raen. The colours have been tweaked to a funkier version, and a pixilated picture of herself has been used in the "masthead" and also for a badge that others can put onto her website. Tres cool. Will have to go back and try to figure out how she did this.

Toronto Star article

Before it disappears into "paid only" land, I am copying the relevant quote:

From Toronto Star, September 7, 2005, No ticket yet? Not to worry

No ticket yet? Not to worry
Online sales boost access to films
Rush Line works if you have time

ASHANTE INFANTRY
ENTERTAINMENT REPORTER

...

Despite its reputation as audience-friendly, the festival has been fighting a growing impression that it's a closed shop, open to only those who buy their passes well in advance.

It's an impression shared by banker Anne Koski and law librarian Connie Crosby. The pair wandered into the Manulife Centre box office a few days ago seeking day passes, to no avail, since the 50-film passes ($483), various coupon books and most gala tickets sold out weeks — and in some cases months — ago.

"I'd like to participate more in the festival, but the whole process of getting tickets is such an ordeal; there are so many timelines and deadlines," said Koski.

Crosby concurred, noting that the website has "made it easier to figure out which films I'm interested in, but then you have to make it your No. 1 priority to get tickets."

Still, both women anticipate seeing up to 10 films — through the efforts of others.

"I have a friend who is involved with the film society in Timmins and she has some tickets for the weekend," said Koski. "It's ironic that somebody who lives in Toronto has to rely on somebody from Timmins to get me into film festival."
