Good idea in theory, but because this OtterBox case fits the iPod so tightly, inserting and removing the iPod for updating and charging wore out the headphones plug and now the sound is shorting out. So, Time for a new pair of shoes, and yet another new iPod.
I searched the house for as many old, broken iPods as I could find and shot this photo. Included in the collection is the very first iPod as well as the mini, nano, shuffle, touch, classic and probably some I don’t even remember the name of.

Ken and I applied the first carbon laminate layer on one of the panels yesterday. We picked a panel that contained seat parts so if we made a mistake we could correct it before we got to the more crucial hull panels.
Above shot is the sandwich panel curring in the vacuum bag. We have about 9 panels to make and I am thinking we could build one panel per day – so in a couple of weeks we should have all of the carbon panels made. Next step is to cut out the panel shapes, build a jig for the top and bottom hull half’s, then assemble the panels. Easy. Ya right…

I love the ipod "graveyard" picture! You should turn them into iBallast on your next boat.

It's funny, Greg. Circumstance is so relevant. I've never owned an iPod. Then again, I've never done 99.999999% of what you have!
Hey, you got me going on remote viewing though. I've been dabbling in that for awhile now.

Check out the iBike console, http://ibikeconsole.globalshowroom.com/catalog.asp?catid=13788&subcatid=0
Not sure if it's waterproof, but I've been contemplating getting one myself.

An Apple Ipod per day keeps the Human Power to stay

Unless you have a particular attachment to all those old iPods (nice photo, BTW), one place that probably would take them is: http://www.buymytronics.com/. You might even get a small amount of $ in return, depending on the condition of the gadgets.
