VERSOS iPod iBlock Speaker

Among the fantastic loot I scored for Christmas, this is one I got from my wife, Waki. It’s a little speaker attachment for the iPod, in my case, my iPod Touch. It’s a little tight to attach, but once it’s on, it’s a pretty good speaker! It’s gets really loud, it has two little buttons on the front, one for volume up and one for volume down. Neat! I gave her a shodo set which includes a brush, a block of ink, and several other tools for painting Japanese kanji on fancy paper. It’s a hobby she’s wanted to pursue for a while.

Speaking of holidays, here’s a taste of some chiptune punishment I plan to inflict on you as I teach myself how to make music this year(couldn’t think of a better New Year’s resolution…). You can thank the Korg DS-10 and Garageband for this little beauty.

WATCH YOUR COMPUTER/HEADPHONES VOLUME BEFORE PLAYING!
