Putting the DO in DIY: Instructibles

One of my biggest beefs with the design industry is its move towards all things digital: a lack of connection with materials, making, building, and understanding the actual physical qualities of our environments. Craft projects are a start, but Instructables takes DIY to the next level, with a MacGyver-genius twist on the usual homemade projects. Next time your project needs a surge of energy, check out Instructibles and start making something (anything from a Lego flash drive to a water-jug-bookshelf): I can guarantee it will inject new insight into your design process.
