Although this hack isn’t probably the most effective way to blast sound from your iPod, it can be a great way to get some more sound out of your iPod earphones 2AM in the morning when you can’t even go to BestBuy to buy some cheap, decent iPod speakers.
Of course, I have 2 iPod earphones that just went bad on me, they crap out after about 3 months of use. I have recently switched to
If you are a gadgeteer, plumber, or some kind of hard-core DIYer, you might want to consider this poor man’s version of Doctor Octopus costume for this Halloween.
Simply get some of those left over hardware parts and put them together for nice octopus tentacle effect that’s going to annoy and entertain anyone around you at the Halloween party.
