I just found the coolest book. I think MacGyver might approve. It's called The Big Book of Makerspace Projects by Colleen Graves and Aaron Graves. The book contains more than 50 how-to write-ups for all kinds of maker-type projects: building a small balloon hovercraft, building small robots, learning to program....there's even a plush (like a stuffed animal) electric guitar that you can make and program to play a song! (You can reprogram the last one if you get tired of the song. ) One of the best teaching methods in the book is that it encourages you, the maker, to rifle through your garbage and recycling bins. The things the authors tell you to find there you then use as components for fun projects like the hovercraft and even a smartphone hologram.

That does sound interesting. Speaking of books i decided to order another game related title. This one based on the Metal Gear Solid series and the first book which naturally takes place during the rebooted first title. I haven't received it yet but i know precisely what its about. So in short, special forces agent, Solid Snake is sent into the cold regions of Alaska to infiltrate a hostile unit known as FOXHOUND who are holding the planet ransom unless they receive $1 Billion and the remains of their fallen comrade, BIG BOSS. Thing is, the island they have taken over is a weapons disposal facility with enough nukes to do just that. And to make matters worse, they only have 24 hours before they set off the nukes. But as the story progresses, Snake soon realizes that this is no ordinary mission as there is more at stake than he is informed of. This was truly a magnificent story with enough shockers to make any thriller seem amateurish compared to its caliber. This story dropped my jaw and its sequel ultimately dropped me on the floor. This is one of the many reasons this series has been such a global phenomena. It has enough emotion, thrill and surprises to keep you coming back for more. And judging from the reviews, this book is just as faithful and exciting.
