After playing reruns of Weekend Projects for two months, Make Magazine has announced that KipKay will be taking over Make’s videos.

I wonder what happened to Bre Pettis. I’m sure he’s OK, I saw him over at SXSW (in the Threadbanger podcast) so at least I’m sure he’s not sick or anything like that.

I’m not too enthusiastic about this because Bre Pettis had a unique intelligent approach. I made the very first weekend project: the workbench. I doubt we’ll be seeing stuff like the “build a fugly one-speed city bike from old parts” from Kip.

Anyways, let’s not judge too quickly, but I hope that KipKay will be able to demonstrate some true Maker creativity, what he hasn’t done over at Metacafe. Hope he does because the make crowd is more critical than the kicked-in-the-nuts Metacafe crowd (no.

Kick it up a notch and the community will respect you. Oh, you should also use your real name if you want any credibility.
