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)
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.
media center holds iPod,external hardrive, and cellphone. 4 internal sony speakers to plug devices into for playback, 2 pen/pencil holders, and a drawer on each side for wires, flash drives, etc

With its iconic white earbuds, white glass & glossy aluminium, it was not just about pretty design. It was the whole experience with digital music.
I took this a while ago. That's my trusty 20gb 3g iPod with my sisters 40gb 3g iPod and my all time favorite Grado SR-60 headphones. Her 40gb was sadly stolen by some lowlife scum.
After Terence and I had done our earlier iPod transparent/x-ray shot experiment, I had this idea for a little mock Apple advertisement. So here's the product of our fevered imaginations.
Strobist info (which Terence, below, reminds me to add): 580EX M1/1 into white foamcore, camera left, for a side fill. SB-25 M1/1 bounced off the ceiling, both fired via Pocket Wizard Plus II's. The iPod dock is stuck via double-sided tape to a reflective black acrylic sheet.
This shot required three initial images (and a fourth for additional detail); we left the dock in place and shot from the same position with the same lighting each time, but dismantled the iPod one step at a time between the shots. The fourth shot was a higher ISO, to get a brighter and more detailed image of the circuit board to blend in for increased detail. The set of shots were combined in Photoshop CS4, and then the text added. :)
(Also posted over in the TwinGeeksPhoto stream Terence put together.)
Ninja vs Evil German Scientist.
Ninja wins.
(btw, I made this photo b+w and then coloured the ninja and scientist in by hand. The ipod screen I cut and pasted from the original colour photo.)
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.

Tonight at the Apple store in London they were putting all our Nanos into "limited edition" bags. Like the Nano itself, it attracted fingerprints :)
I know these things have their detractors, but I think they're great. I use them for all sorts of stuff - my small camera, my phone and of course my iPod. They stop your gear from getting scratched while not adding much bulk. I just don't get the idea of buying a tiny piece of electronics and then putting an inch of armour around it.
