Retrofitting an iPod into a Geiger Counter

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-just-plain-silly dept.

Doug writes "An enterprising hardware guy known as JavaMoose on Flickr has created an amazing case mod for his iPod by modifying an old Geiger counter to house the iPod and remote. The photos are up on Flickr with descriptions along the way. Very cool, if a little big to fit in ones pocket"

    Only if you can come up with a novel way to operate the iPod without your head up your ass as well.

    Other things that an iPod could be made into:
    • A coaster
    • A leg-leveller for a table
    • Dog chew-toy
    • Guidance system for a home-brew missile
    • Donald Trump's brain (would be an improvement)
    • Subliminal message distributor to allow Steve Jobs to continue his quest for global domination... oh wait...
