Aging iPods turned retro

Filed Under: geek it yourself, electronics

Now that you can add internal Bluetooth to that aging iPod, what if you're into something more retro? Making a miniature Ms. Pac-Man game that incorporates your old iPod screen (from a last-generation iPod video, perhaps) while not subjecting that former love to prying objects may be the way to go.

If you have an original Nintendo Game Boy and and older iPod mini laying around, and want to feel only semi-retro, you can stuff that mini into the Game Boy's case and even have the GB's buttons mapped to the iPod's control wheel.

Sometimes we all want to feel all country and everything -- so there's nothing quite like stuffing your older iPod into a hollowed-out log (a small one, of course) and making all the controls accessible ala knots and wooden controls. Yes, that would look charming on the fireplace mantle.
