Packing up for Maker Faire, I was debating whether to bring my old iPod as a back-up to my iPhone. That got me thinking about ways I might make use of my iPod besides just insuring music and address book redundancy. On TravelHacker, I found this round-up of 75+ tutorials on everything from turning it into a guitar tuner to using it as a universal remote, to an ebook reader, to turning it into money (ah, as in selling it…).

While I like this list in principle, I’m a little troubled by the completely serious link to a “Household Hacker” video (#42), wherein I learn that I can make my iPod into a taser by playing a special .mp3 through a couple of bare wires from the headphone jack. HH puts up all kinds of crap like this, and I’m sad to see it get any kind of publicity.

Undeniably consider that that you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the internet the simplest
thing to bear in mind of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while folks think
about concerns that they plainly do not realize about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out
the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a
signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
