iPod nano Altoids Case
DIY iPod nano case – iNano writes “I took the foam and cut a wedge out, and glued it into the case. Then I took the cloth and glued it down inside the top part of the case. I made two foam strips to hold the nano in place, and glued them down as well. I got some sandpaper and brushed the whole tin, excluding the red and white sides. I stuck an apple sticker on the front and outlined it in red, to make it look cool. I still need to drill a hole for headphone cables”… [via]. Link.

A MAKE subscriber sent this in to us, look really interesting “A Foot powered lathe plans in pdf or e-book form – I haven’t tried this but from reading it, I can say it appears to be the best design of several I’ve looked at. And it’s free!” 
Nice Mac stuff reuse from MacVroom “We decided to take matters into our own hands and make a simple protective sleeve for our new nano…We started with something that would be both protective and useful to shine up the iPod nano – a soft chamois cloth.

Wired up a few orange and yellow LEDs to oscillate inside the pumpkin. Voila. (nearly) Instant Halloween car decoration! Not bad for two dollars, some change, and a few spare LEDs”. 
Extremely good HOW TO – After much frustration, I’ve finally set up my new mac mini to stream all my music to my work laptop. I say frustration, because whilst there is plenty of help out there, none of it in itself was complete enough to get me up and running. Some where too mac to mac, some to unix to mad, some unix to windows. Nothing really gave me the step by step, follow this and it will work guide. So, I present “The definitive guide to setting up iTunes streaming via the internet from a Mac running OSX to your PC running windows”.
