MAKE: television Episode 2: Aerial Kite Photography & Burrito Blaster


Make: television Episode 2:
Maker Cris Benton takes spectacular aerial photographs by rigging remote-controlled cameras to high flying kites. In the Maker Workshop John Park builds a Burrito Blaster, which can propel a burrito 50 yards, and Mister Jalopy shows off his giant iPod. The Maker Channel features vegetable flutes, cool remote control robots, printer that makes designs on a cafe latte, and a stealthy technique to park anywhere for free! The HD version is available at Blip.

Great stuff. I find myself smiling throughout these episodes. I just get that feeling when watching someone create or explain something truly interesting and something they have a passion for. Feels like I'm watching Bill Nye again and the world is open. Maybe I forgot how engaging good entertainment can be.

Thanks for the memories

Hey, for those of us who can't see your program on our local TV stations OR on the satellite stations we get, a big thanks for putting them up for us to see on-line.

Quality TV IMHO

How come episode 102 does not show up in the list of podcasts on the itunes music store? I know I can get it directly, but I would prefer to download it as a podcast in order keep all the episodes together in the same category in my itunes library.

iTunes only lets us keep 30 podcasts at a time, so unfortunately the older episodes fall off. We'll continue to podcast Make: television even after all 10 episodes have premiered. Thanks for your question!
