Green Your iPod

Two nifty iPod related links here, to help you 'green your ipod':

First, Londonist interviews Matthew Smith, who 'takes broken iPods, fixes them, and gives them back out to the freecycle community for free'. Here's how he got started:

"I started off with a broken iPod and needed to fix it somehow. I broke it by being rather silly and attaching it to a magnetic holder in my car – which of course warped the hard drive! So I advertised on Freecycle for a couple of broken ones for spare parts, and mentioned in my advert that if I received more than I needed, and that I get my initial iPod working again, then I will use the spare parts to fix the others and would re-offer them back out into the community."

And elsewhere, for those of us looking to keep our iPods looking shiny *and* are old enough to remember Vinyl, how about these recycled 45 rpm records as iPod cases? There's a whole cottage industry of iPod accessories and it's great to see the ways people are trying to recylce them.
