Geek Girl - Make Magazine

Interesting new magazine in book format called Make Magazine. I'd like to subscribe (I always want to subscribe), but I'd like to see an issue first before I shell out $35, so I'll wait. Amazon has current issue at just over $10 (no shipping if you manange to buy something else and get your total over $25), so maybe go that route.

As an aside, a friend recently purchased something, paid extra for 2-day shipping at Amazon and it took about five days so there is no point in paying the extra. Amazon will not guarantee your package to arrive quicker despite paying extra for it. Again, big Amazon rip-off, so beware. Don't do their stupid pay us a fee and we'll give you a break on shipping either -- double rip-off, if they don't guarantee 2-day delivery now when you're paying extra, what's the odds they'll give you better and quicker shipping later when you're no longer paying extra. The annual fee is just to keep one hand in your pocket and my pockets have far too many hands now, so forget the paying in advance for discounts BS.
