Make Magazine suffered a big loss at the end of 2007 when Bre Pettis, star and producer of the Weekend Projects videos, left Make to pursue other interests. Pettis’ goofy, unaffected style made it fun to watch even the more mundane Weekend Projects (of which there were few).

Now Make reports that Pettis and some friends have rented a space in Brooklyn they’re calling NYC Resistor, where they'll offer classes starting soon. Pettis, naturally, will be teaching a class on video podcasting, and you can check out the full class schedule at the NYC Resistor Eventbrite listing. It’s an enticing lineup, marred only by a bit of strange scheduling. (Electronics 101 at 1:00 p.m. on a Tuesday? Huh?) I’ll be traveling in April, or else I’d definitely hit up the Game Boy Software Development class.
