iSkin evo2

The iskin I ordered came in the mail today. The package contained the iskin, the iskin belt clip, and a plastic zippered carrying case. I got the charcoal color. The skin fits,well, like a skin. It looks very cool as well. The only problem is that it attracts a TON of hair and dust.

Peasant's Quest Movie

New from my favorite website, homestarrunner.com, comes a Trog-venture for the whole Trog-family! Peasant's Quest!

The text adventure peasant's quest is a spoofish game based on a cartoon from H*R.com. It is a very thorugh, fun game with many secrets. If you follow the walkthrough posted on my blog, it will still take a while to finish the game.

Though primarily a flash website, the creators of H*R.com, the "brothers chaps"(mit syudents from atlanta) have gone into showbiz. During the superbowl halftime they released a preview for their new movie based on the text based peasants quest game. check the preview out:

Ipod Folders

I was creating a "best of" series (ie. best of the eagles, best of pink floyd)But i dont know how I could put all that into its own folder so I could go: music>playlists>best of> best of led zeppelin>immigrant song. Is there a way I could create a folder like that?

Ipod Ductape case

I was wondering what case i would buy when I had an ingenoius idea, why not make my own? First i considered what I would use. Ductape was the obvious answer, but would that scratch the ipod? I again had a revalation, and quickly armed myself with an old sock. I cut up the sock in the size of the ipod, and grabbed some of my ductape. Mom helped me make some cuts in the ductape shell attached to the sock. I added a top and bottom (with holes for the firewire and headphones) and viola! I had a pretty cool ductape case. I took some pictures, sorry, they are kinda blurry

looking on ipodlounge.com, i found out that the dock and remote used to be included in the ipod package. That kind of dissapointed me because im probably going to end up buying the dock sepratly.

Ipod.

The ipod came in the mail today, and it had just about the coolest packaging ive ever seen. It took me a while to install and sycronize everything, but i've managed to get a couple of led zeppelin cd's on there. The ipod is definitly the most awesome little thing ever. the click wheel was irratating my finger untill i relized i hadnt removed the protective film from it. Im not sure whats going to happen with itunes, but I may end up downloading all my song from there. any helpful hint would be appreciated.
