Local author and illustrator Mark Frauenfelder is now the editor of Make, an upcoming magazine on applying do-it-yourself skills to technology. It's from O'Reilly Media. Frauenfelder is co-founder of Boing Boing, an alumnus of Wired and The Industry Standard, and with his wife, Carla Sinclair, wrote a series for the LA Weekly last year about leaving Studio City to live (temporarily, as it turned out) on a tropical island in the South Pacific.
