Apreche's Journal: Super Technology Combination

Ok, this isn't really blog material, but I'm putting it in the /journal because its so cool I can't keep it to myself.

Check this out. I got an iPod. The iPod has an alarm clock feature, so it can play a song at a specified time. Great replacement for bedside alarm clock if you have speakers that can plug into the iPod. But I don't have speakers that do that.

What I DO have is a normal clock/radio and an iTrip. Leave the clock/radio on tuned into the iTrip. There will be complete silence as long as the iTrip's LED is on and the iPod isn't playing a song. Then when the iPods alarm goes off you get an mp3 to wake you up in the morning. If I wanted I could syncrhonize the clocks on the iPod and the clock/radio so the alarm clock goes off in radio mode which happens to be the iPod playing a song.

The best part is that I can do this AND leave the iPod charging overnight.

Without even writing a line of code or taking out a soldering iron you can combine existing pieces of technology to do some really awesome stuff. Oh hotness.
