Heck Of A Guy

Of the multitude of arcane, not-quite-worthless bits of information that have found themselves a home in a pleasant gyrus or sulcus of my cerebral hemispheres, displacing potentially useful data (see diagram below), the one that has engaged the interest of almost everyone who hears it is, paradoxically, a quickie hack that is not only especially trivial but also has, one would think, an especially limited number of individuals for whom it could be potentially useful.

The limiting factor is that the problem this hack solves requires that one already own, purchase, or otherwise come into possession of an iPod Nano.

The Problem:

The surfaces of these slick toys/precision media implements are particularly vulnerable to scratching, after which they look distinctly less slick.

The Generic Solution:

Buy a case for the Nano.

The Hack:

Note: I had not, in fact, planned on writing this up in the Heck Of A Guy Blog (especially since I have already burned through a major portion of my self-indulgence quota with the Sonny & Cher Avenues posting), but, no kidding, everyone — whether a Nano owner or not – has given this hack a way cool rating. For what it’s worth, I don’t own a Nano myself. So, there you go.

Besides, it’s Friday.

And I don’t wanna write anything requiring thoughtful prose composition.

Anyway, the good news is that the case displayed below is not the recommendation.

Nor is this one.

And it is neither of these perfectly decent examples of available Nano cases.








This is it

I first saw this nifty Nano scratch-protector at Lifehacker
