Thursday 16 June 2011 was a sad day in publishing. Meredith announced that they're shuttering ReadyMade, a very fun, very cool magazine they had only fairly recently purchased.
It had been published since 2001, and was a snazzy part of the Maker
movement, giving us all inspirational tips and tricks for ways to use things that otherwise might be dumped in the trash.The monthly MacGyver challenge - e.g. "what can you do with a shipping pallet?" or "what's the coolest use for old vinyl LPs?" - was a highlight to me, but their extremely active blog was the tops.
A cool magazine that will be missed. One hopes they will find a way to persist online, if not in print.
grr.
