Last year, the finest institution in the land awarded me the title ‘Bachelor of Computing’ with ‘Subject of Specialization Computing’ written underneath (an SSP is kind of like a major but it’s supposed to require more work). I thought the name of the degree sounded redundant, but it’s kind of funny for a CompSci degree. That’s one of the reasons that I went for it.

Realizing the error of its ways, the university has offered to courier me a new degree with a new title, Subject of Specialization Computer Science. I’m down, that’s cool. But they sent me a wee little envelope to return it in, so I figured they wouldn’t mind if I made a few extra folds trying to fit the degree in.

Without further ado, I present the step-by-step instructions for turning your degree into a paper airplane (Flickr Set & Slideshow).

A little while ago, Apple released the iPod Camera Connector which allows you to connect your camera directly to an iPod Photo and download it’s contents.

It would be cool if it worked in reverse with an iPod Shuffle, allowing you to dump a random assortment of songs from an iPod onto the Shuffle. Imagine running into a friend with an iPod, plugging your Shuffle directly into their iPod and walking away with a different music experience.

It would work well within the ‘random music’ framework that Apple is pimping for the shuffle. It also takes the idea of jacking into someone else iPod to the next level.
