Tiny iPod/iPhone Charge & Sync Cable

Made this little thing for use with the Boxwave charging adapter I have (both together in the pic). Simply took a third party small iPod cable, cut it open and shortened it considerably, enough to manage to get the two connectors glued together to make one solid plug. Works for syncing as well, not just charging.

Going blogging

Manually updating websites suck. After starting writing for anythingbutipod I never bothered to update my own site anymore due to it taking forever doing it in notepad. I finally pulled myself together and am now going wordpress for all it’s worth. Having spent all day transferring the worthy worklogs to blog style there are now a shitload of old projects listed with today’s date, so just bear in mind that they are frmo a long time ago. Any post after this entry will be new and have the correct date with regards to when they were made.

DIY Multitable

This project was the first multitable I made and since then I’ve made new tables to replace it as my needs have changed. I’ve gotten a lot of comments on this thing over the years so that’s why I’m including it now that I’m transferring stuff to blog style. As Bert Monroy of Pixel perfect says, it’s not the end result thats important but how you get there - a multitable like this is useful for a lot of people and all you need to do is use a little imagination and figur out what YOU need. Hit the jump for pics, pics and even more pics.

Giant Wooden Zen Stone

Seen the Zen Stone? It’s Creative’s version of the ipod shuffle. Tiny piece of gadgetry, sSo I of course had to make a big one…in wood! It’s what I do, after all. It measures 21×14x5 cm’s, uses SD cards up to 4GB, is made from pine wood and has a rechargeable battery. The core is this player. Why? The Stone is $50 in norway, this is $9. I’ve used it before so I know it’s DIY compatible, and when it’s a project I’m not going to be using on a daily basis I don’t see anything justifying buying the real Stone.
Anyways, hit the jump for pictures and video.
