It\u2019s taken a while (almost five years!) but the iPod Shuffle Shuffle video has finally surfaced, along with the rest of the event footage<\/a> from OpenTech 2005<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To remind you, I was chairing a panel on Media Hacking, and decided that I would do some \u201cphysical media hacking\u201d to waken up the audience<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The experiment was planned to go something like this. Two pairs of volunteers would come forward\u2026 with a pair of 512mb and a pair of 1gb iPod Shuffles. They would swap over their units with each other, and take away an iPod Shuffle with a different audio mix on it\u2026<\/p>\n

Unfortunately 4 people came forward, all with 512mb shuffles \u2013 remember I\u2019ve not actually told the volunteers what\u2019s going to happen yet. Now I could have done a bit more jiggery-pokery with the volunteers to get a comfortable pairing, but a mix of the Showman in me, and the evil voice of Crow in my head (sure, blame the bird \u2013 Crow<\/em>) led me to throw caution to the wind. I saw a box on the floor and said to myself \u2018if that box is empty, I\u2019ll put all five iPod Shuffle\u2019s in that box, mix them up, and hand back a random unit to each person.\u2019 It was empty.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And here\u2019s the result.<\/p>\n

The kicker? It wasn\u2019t porn on one of the shuffles, but Chris Green\u2019s private PGP key<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
