Modding my netbook messenger bag
Thought there was a limit to what you could mod? There isn't. When I got the 1101HA, my old 10" netbook bag wouldn't fit the new netbook so I bought a new one with more room in it. It did however require some modifications to get it fully tailored to me.

Posted at 00:28 on May 15th 2009 in WorklogsI read a forum thread online about alstic dog leashes and got interested. Thing is, we already have a flexi band (one of those that winds back into the handle) and don't want a new leash alltogether, so I was looking for a bungee leash expander.

Posted at 00:23 on May 15th 2009 in WorklogsA headphone mod I did some years ago with a AKG k412p and a pair of Koss KSC75. The AKGs had a totally wrong sound signature for my needs so I replaced the drivers with KSC75 drivers and made a wooden cap for it.

iPod LOD and Frankenfiio
Posted at 00:15 on May 15th 2009 in WorklogsThe iPod Touch sounds bad, but iTunes has a lot of songs I couldn't get before - it's the dilemma between good SQ with old songs or poor SQ with new songs. To get the best of both world's I had to go line out + amp.
