LAME. Bring back Bre.

I made a similar project to this a while back, to encase my fujitsu 3500 slate pc (if you want a cheap, touchscreen tablet they are going for a song on ebay)

unfortunately the cover wore out and I have yet to finish the new version, which strips down the tablet's casing for a lighter book.

rautiocination: that image is protected and can't be viewed by random people such as myself.

Wow, it is incredible how lame this video was.
1) The project is a waste of my time.
2) The intro was painfully long. (as well as the music)
3) Kip has a personailty that could not be distinguish from any other no-name HGTV DIY host. In other words, this guy is not cool, like Bre. His artificial TV voice and enthuiasm make me feel like I am watching an infomercial for tupperware.
4) You have stripped away all of the character of Weekend Projects and made it into a really lame mainstream piece of junk that is certain to push away all of your creative DIYers.

If this is the direction that MAKE is going to take I feel very strongly that I will not be going along for the ride.

No offense to Kip, but Bre really has a knack for this sort of thing. Please bring Bre back!

I am not going to watch this anymore if Kip is going to be doing it now.
Dude has the most annoying voice in the world.
