The Princess iPod
My buddy Mitch wrote in with this entertaining story about crafting up a custom "Princess iPod" for his daughter's birthday:
My daughter somehow got it into her head that she wanted a "Princess iPod" because she saw some junky, Disney-branded knockoff in the store. I told her she couldn't have it, but she has not forgotten about it and today is her 5th birthday party.Her grandmother wanted to give her something indulgent. So, I took a 512MB Shuffle and covered it with an "init Bling" kit from Best Buy and some princess stickers. I ripped several albums of Disney songs to pre-load onto the Shuffle and voila! The Princess iPod
My money has her either losing it, or interest in it, by tomorrow. :-)
Well done, sir! I'm sure the Disney lawyers will be knocking on your door any minute, now.

I have a little princess who turned 4 a while ago, and I have thought about getting her a music player. She really does love _my_ video iPod. But this makes me wonder... how soon is too soon for an MP3 player? Do I really want my kid to start "tuning me out" so soon? Any thoughts?

Bob...you think a kid needs a music player to tune out her parents? ;-) It'll happen with or without electronic assistance (me, I used to use books for that purpose).
