Bre Pettis / MAKE - Metro @ PULSTV

Metro vom 3.12.2007; VJ: Stephan Bruckner
(engl. "translation" below)

Bre Pettis ist Videoblogger für das MAKE Magazin (www.makezine.com) - mit seinen Weekend Projects hat er sich längst in die Nerdherzen gebastelt.

Let me try to translate (hopefully correct):

Bre Pettis is blogging for the DIY magazine "Make" for 2 years. "Make" is covering topics all around DIY since 2005. Bre was formerly art teacher in middle-school and ist now doing the so-called "weekend projects" - abstruse handicrafts to imitate.

- Bre talking about the TVBGone
- Bre about the 3 good things with DIY

3 reasons why Bre is not alone with his hobby, and meanwile also profession. Now with internet an global networking it is possible to easily exchange information and expertise. One cause of many for the current rise of DIY culture.

- Bre about people having things their way

This "I Do It My Way" mentality is now forcing entire industries to act. Because the economy disqualifies itsself by locked technologies and proprietary strategies and collides with the open source and sharing nature of the DIY culture.

- Bre about the iPhone & DIY

Seems if the potential of DIY is massive: projects are becoming increasingly ambitious. Bre Pettis is currently working, collaborating with many others, on a self-replicating reprap-robot.

- Bre about possibilities of DIY

But, it does not always has to be that ambitious. Even for the less talented, there are enough instructions to enter the ranks of DIY-people. Just try and start making.
