iPod Mini Custom Installation In A Ford Explorer

Posted by timothy on from the all-the-trimmings dept.

Johnny Mozzarella writes "MacWorld has a nice write-up on Jesse Melchior, an amateur special effects artist and filmmaker, who used his skills to create a custom installation that is worthy of an iPod mini. The article outlines the materials he used such as latex, plaster and dental acrylic to create an integrated dock complete with blue LEDs and Apple logo in his Ford Explorer."

    This guy uses all that stuff intimately with his car and gets on the front page of slashdot.

    If you're going to do something this fancy, why hamstring yourself with the 4GB mini?

    Even more, if you're going to do something this fancy, why hamstring yourself with a Ford Explorer?

    I think he'll regret this whole project when his iPod stops working, his Firestone tires fail and his Explorer rolls.

    If we're going to follow this analogy, we might as well get it right.

    In the rare occurance that the battery go, then Apple will replace the whole truck in less than 3 days for the price ($59.00) of an iPod extended warrenty.

    It's easy to gather up 10,000 songs when you have a CD collection from two generations of people

    Is that a subtle way of saying "I live at home with my parents, so it's easy to afford music"?
