the "new" refurbished ipod already causing trouble.
msh0206-5: a love letter/note
(how about a love "ransom" letter?)
(only one more day to go - getting desperate. ^_^)
I won this ipod at a tweetup several months ago for being the person with the highest number of twitter followers present. I only use it when I'm jogging, and up until yesterday it contained most of the Sneaker Pimps first album and a few random tracks manually ripped from Dr. Horrible. But I wanted some variety, so I threw on some random happy music. I must have picked a magic combination, because last night's run was the easiest I'v ever had.
Click "All sizes" to see a detailed image.
Just some of the details in the image:
-100% to scale according to current 5th Gen iPod specs.
-LCD is 4" widescreen.
-Highlight added to simulate LCD backlight flooding.
-Scratch's and fingerprints added for an authentic iPod finish.
-The top surface plastic was tricky to get clear yet still have the proper highlight at the edges.
My coworker Jessica's 4th gen iPod finally gave out, after years of faithful service. She has the brilliant idea to head out on our lunch break and give the iPod a proper funeral. I went along to help out.
With its iconic white earbuds, white glass & glossy aluminium, it was not just about pretty design. It was the whole experience with digital music.
Two days ago, my iPod Shuffle died. I'd had it for over 3 years, and it has always been a loyal and dutiful music player.
It died because I have switched out iTunes for WinAmp, and my Shuffle didn't seem to like it. I tried everything, but only wound up making it worse. The poor thing was gone. Strangely, it didn't die when I closed it in the car door, stepped on it, or left it out in the sub zero temperatures.
Last night Apples and I made a trip to the local Micro Center to pick up my replacement music box. It's a Creative Labs Zen Stone, and, just like my Shuffle, holds 1 Gig of music. Unlike my Shuffle, it's even more tiny, the controls are more intuitive (I no longer turn the thing off by accident), and I don't need ANY software to operate it. Drag and drop is all this bad boy needs. Perhaps the best reason for me to pick one up? It is half the price of a replacement Shuffle. My Zen Stone was only $40!
Oh, and I suppose I should explain the title. I have a habit of naming my computers (as any nerd is wont to do), and I usually settle on some monster from Greek Mythology. My old desktop was Chimera, my laptop is Charybdis, and my music player is Pan. I'm sure people think I'm crazy whenever they see, "Log in to Charybdis" as my computer is booting up.
In response to a question on the Dancing with Elephants family podcast (http://dwithe.com), here are some apps that I have on my iPod touch.
I haven't done this for a while. Compare to what it looked like a little over three years. Yes, I do keep some unused apps just for their icon color — gotta keep those screens complete. :)
The iPod Touch is using a minimal-rate uplink over WiFi, despite good SNR. (This is from the management console for the AP, so the "RX Data Rate" is the iPod Touch's uplink rate to the AP.)
Even doing things like browsing in Safari to put active usage on the WiFi link, it does not increase its uplink rate.
This is bad for battery life, and makes the iPod Touch a bad WiFi-citizen as well, since it is taking up more radio time than is necessary to send each packet.
東京の中でも最先端のファッションと若者文化の行き交う街、渋谷。
ここ渋谷にもアップル直営店（日本で４番目にできた店舗）が今年オープンし、イベントがあるごとに
賑わいと話題が絶えません。
そんな渋谷駅のプラットホームに、iPod nanoの巨大広告があらわれました。
電車を降りると壁面全体に実物大のiPod nanoのカードがびっしりと貼付けられてあり、剥がして持って帰ることができるのです。
私もカードを手に取ってみましたが、１日何万人も利用する渋谷の駅で、このように剥がされていたらすぐにカードが無くなってしまうだろうと思っていたところ、人の波が過ぎたあとにスタッフが地道にカードを貼付けているのですね。ついつい、その姿を見届けたくなり、写真におさめてしまいました。
私が通りかかったのは夕方でしたが、これが通勤ラッシュだともっと大変なことになっていたのでしょう。
早速持ち帰った実物大iPod nanoのカードを手にしてみると、プラスチック製の丈夫で立派なもので驚きました。
裏側には携帯電話用のサイトにリンクするQRコード/URLが記載されており、ジャンプしてiPod nanoの待ち受け画像をゲットできます。
こんな街頭でもドキドキさせてくれるAppleってすばらしいですね。
実は私、普段は渋谷からはうんと離れた場所に住んでいまして、たまたまこの日、偶然通りかかってゲットできたのでラッキーでした。
This year in Shibuya, Tokyo, home of the trendiest of fashions and the trendiest of youth cultures, Apple opened it's 4th Japanese Apple Store. Naturally the store itself became a trend-setter and is keeping the masses informed, and entertained with its numerous events in-store and out, and one of them was the sale of "iPod nano".
As part of their rather unique advertising campaign, huge iPod nano posters now adorn the platform walls of Toyoko Line Shibuya Station.
As you depart the train you'll be faced with a stream after stream of 1:1 iPod nano cutouts, in which you can pull off and take home. Obviously, I helped myself to a few as well.
Needless to say, with its tens of thousands of people passing through Shibuya station daily, those iPod cutouts won't last very long. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be able to catch a glimpse of the staff furiously "refilling" the empty spaces with new cutouts in between the waves of departing passengers (I took the pictures after the evening rush. I can only imagine how busy these guys can be during rush hour!).
Much to my suprise, I later realised that these cutouts weren't made of cardboard but of plastic, and are very rigidly built too. On the reverse side were the URL and QR Codes of a site where you can download iPod nano wallpapers for your mobile phone.
Having living somewhere way out from Tokyo, I was very lucky to be able to get my hands on these cutouts AND witness those "refillers" in action. Hats off to Apple and their wonderful advertising.

iPod nano (7th generation) 拋棄上一代方形的設計，回歸長方形設計，且正面加入了類似 iPhone 的實體 Home 鍵，感覺就像一部小號 iPod Touch（不是 Nokia Lumia 800 嗎!?）
Lots of iPods. With the box from Dad's iPod (John Lennon) and mine.
From left to right:
iPod Touch (8gig), iPod (3rd gen - 20gig), iPod Touch (32gig), iPod mini (4gig), iPod shuffle (1gig), iPod Touch (16gig)
It was quite amusing to watch my Twitter stream - which is largely a mixture of Americans and Brits - during the England-USA game of the World Cup.
I just wanted to know if I was able to create an iPod using Photoshop.
The Album Artwork I also a fake I made, that you can find in my gallery at there
I also got this new iPod in Red ! :)
My iPod broke through the week. Literally just stopped working, mid-playlist. The sad iPod symbol suggested my iPod had finally died; the HD definitely wasn't spinning as it should have been.
Despite this, Linux could see the two partitions on the disk. I thought I might have been able to wipe the disk, rewrite the firmware, and reload my music library. But for so long as the iPod refused to stay powered, that was a lost cause. Not wishing to buy a new music player just yet, I battled on.
A little googling, and I found my solution: drop the iPod on the ground! I didn't drop mine, but I did ram it against a pile of papers, holding it with the power connector facing down. First hit, no joy. After the second hit, however, I hit the selector button, and I heard the familiar noise of my iPod's hard drive spinning. The backlight came on, then the main menu appeared. Problem solved!
Makes me glad I buy CDs and therefore have a good backup of my audio. (That said, I'm deliberately replicating the contents of my iPod; a little redundancy never hurt anybody!)
after an alarm clock malfunction this morning, I got a new one. It will play me "Here Comes The Sun" tomorrow morning. (hey, I had to do something with my iPod classic after upgrading to an iTouch)
I asked if we could have a demo of iPod connectivity to the 360. And since I had my iPod, it was the one that got used! Here it is connected up. And I think that's the bottom half of Major Nelson (www.majornelson.com) in the background.
