Well, first blog, first project.

OK, so since the release of the ipod i have gone through a lot of them including at least one of each model. I've had them stolen, submerged, smashed, scorched, stabbed, crushed, electrocuted, etc... etc....

Now, heres whats going on now. in order to try and limit my spending i replaced my ipod video 60 GB with a very tiny 2 GB generation 2 ipod nano. Now, i know its not much, but after realizing that i had songs on my huge ass 60 GB (which was also quite a pain in the ass as far as transport goes..) i also realized that this one had a metal encasing. Why they haven't done this with the larger gen 5 ipod is completely unaware to me. How ever, they make case of which are metal so i wasn't worried about that.

What i was worried about was my ipod nano today after i fell on it in BFS (P.E. for you simple minded, bigger faster stronger for the rest of us.) and put quite the dent right next to the screen and scratched the hell out of it. Now it didn't damage the screen, but it did bugger up my select button in the center of the click wheel. Needless to say, I'm building a case for it. A brushed aluminum case at that. Stylish, light, unobstructed, strong and secure.

So here in a while (once i go through this pile of old computers, TVs, monitors, etc, etc that i have dragged home from work and find some aluminum sheeting i will embark on my adventure. I will take pictures of the different prototypes, test dummies, etc, etc. In the process of this i will also be taking pictures and posting them back some time early tomorrow morning or late in the night. Ohh, and hey kids cheer up its Friday tomorrow (I my self just realized this so don't worry, you're not the only one's.) so in the event that this becomes a major project then i will keep you all up to date.

Also a note to all viewer's, i have the chill out page set to refresh every 30 seconds so if you have any feed back please post it here. All ideas are excepted and I'm willing to work along side a well educated group of others if you have any constructive ideas that would help this product (it will be made a few times over and sold once finished.) become any better.


Thanks much!,
