Staycation... maybe it's time for MAKEcation

06 Staycation
One of TIME's buzz words for 2008 was "staycation" staying at home for vacation because things are expensive, that sounds like a bad thing, but it's really not. You can use that time to make something, you'll probably enjoy it more too! As things wind down here at MAKE for the week I am looking forward to a "MAKEcation" - there are piles of projects I'm working on, I can't wait!

So, that's the word for 2009 - MAKEcation, let's make it happen!... Maybe in 2009 we could all think of a way to make staying home for vacation more of a "project" that you make and share when it's all over... "here's what i did on my MAKEcation"... What do you think makers? What will you make on your "MAKEcation" - it's likely some of you have already completed projects already! "Making cations" by causing ions to have few electrons than protons does not count.
