Volume 20 of Make: magazine, which hits newsstands on November 15th, includes an article I wrote about DIY Telephony titled “Retro Wireless Handset.”

The article is based on my Bluetooth Handset Hack and includes additional illustrations and step by step instructions to help you build one of your own.

If you are a Make: subscriber, you can read the article via your digital edition subscription.  Non-subscribers should be able to click here for a sneak preview.

Make: is the one magazine I look forward to the most throughout the year.  I am very excited to be a part of Make: and hope to contribute again in the future.

Sadly, the Maker Faire is over – but it was totally awesome!  Kylie, Tony and I gave out hundreds of moo cards and stickers, met lots of Makers, and spread the word about my DIY wireless streaming internet radio project.

Here’s a pic of me and Tony during the second day of the Faire.  Tony built the awesome wooden enclosure for the project.  Last week, he decided to come up from Los Angeles at the last minute to see what the Maker Faire is all about.  Based on the grin he had all weekend, I’m pretty sure he’ll be back next year.

My project won an Editor’s Choice ribbon!  Here’s a very happy me with Phil Torrone and Limor Fried of Make/Adafruit Industries:

I took lots of photos!  Check em out.

While I’m busy working on part ten of my series on building a wireless router-based DIY streaming internet radio, I couldn’t resist sharing a few photos of the finished project.

If you want to see the radio in person, stop by Expo Hall Booth 166 at the Maker Faire in San Mateo, CA this weekend.  I’ll be there to demonstrate the radio and answer questions!

Psst…  Today is the last day to buy discount Maker Faire tickets.  Buy them by midnight PDT or pay full price!

Make: Online : Maker Faire advance tickets, going, going….

The Bay Area Maker Faire is only 30 days away, and I still have lots to do on my Wifi Radio before it’s ready for the show.

I figure two weeks of slacking and two weeks of panicked chaos should do it…

Tickets are on sale, if you book before May 20th you get a $20 discount.  I hope to see some readers there, if you read the blog please stop by and say hello!
