This link is so badass, I can’t even handle it. First of all, iPods have taken over the world partially because they are so aesthetically pleasing, they are almost a work of art in and of themselves. Secondly, he was daring enough to purchase an iPod (specifically a fourth generation color iPod) and then take it apart only to encase it in glass. And most importantly, what elevates this magnificent contribution to modern human society from just messing around with random electronics to true art is that, yes folks, the damn thing still works.
I don’t know if I would want to carry one of those with me to the gym, but I am now convinced that there is absolutely nothing more that could be done to an iPod to make it more beautiful.
