Below are just a few useful (or distracting) things to do with your iPod.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold\">1. Record your lectures.<\/p>\n<p>Use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0001WW398\/sr=8-1\/qid=1142039877\/ref=pd_bbs_1\/103-9347927-6405449?%5Fencoding=UTF8\">iTalk<\/a> or the built in microphone to record you professor&#8217;s lectures.  Whats more is you can than date them and organize them. Include all work assigned in the notes and throw away that date book you use.  Or make your lectures a &#8220;podcast&#8221; and submit them to a transcribing site such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.odeo.com\/\">Odeo <\/a>and make your lectures searchable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold\">2. Browse the periodic table<\/p>\n<p>If you are a chem student <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipodhacks.com\/article.php?sid=1740&#038;ipod-accessories\">this <\/a>could save your life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold\">3. Help it get you make an ass of yourself, get drunk, and get laid (not necessisarily in that order).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.macupdate.com\/info.php\/id\/19738\">Party pod<\/a> gives you 500 drink recipes, pick up lines, and helps you locate bars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold\">4. Make flash cards with it<\/p>\n<p>Do you have a memorization based test?  Upload text into your iPod and spend that subway ride studying instead of wondering where that smell is coming from.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold\">5. Make it a PDA<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kainjow.com\/pod2go\/\">Pod2Go<\/a> makes your iPod uber by turning it into a mini-computer allowing news, weather, stocks, RSS&#8230;Pod 2 Go also makes uploading your typed notes to your iPod that much easier.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold\">6. Learn French<\/p>\n<p>Make a written vocab list, and if possible accompany it with audio.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold\">7. Play pac-man on it.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, this wont help your grades but was too cool. MAME, the popular arcade emulator is starting to make its way on to the nano.
