With ReadyMade, Shoshana Berger and crew have created a magazine with a purpose: Help people make cool things. Along the way, the writers at ReadyMade exhbibit a great eye for design, talk to really interesting people, and attract an enthusiastic community of MacGyver wannabes. Each issue is packed with projects, projects, and more projects that you can complete without a Master's degree in engineering, plus a handful of great feature articles. Recent topics: inspired vacation destinations, urban gardens, and off-beat wedding plans.
