Some people wish they could cover their precious iPod nano with a decorated paper. The first solution is merely to go and buy to Sector29. But, I really think that $19,95 is a little too much for a piece of colored and folded paper.

The solution? Do it yourself without spending so much. Use the template available on WikiHow. As for a nice confection dress, the template will allow to draw the piece of paper or cardboard to the exact dimensions and to cover precisely your iPod nano. You don’t need to limit yourself to plain white paper. It’s about time your imagination kick in with your photos and your drawing talent.

Feel free to show your trials here.

There is no end to jokes about what Microsoft did wrong (they’re the number one target for many jokes and many grievances, just from their being #1 software company).

Today, I want to point you to an excellent little paper by Steve Mirsky published in his excellent column in Scientific American magazine. In the October 2006 issue, he wrote a tale of automated toilets that ends with one of his wittiest conclusions (about how to flush an automated toilet and how to stop… Windows).

Available both from the paper magazine and the web site.
