MacGyver-icious Speakers

You know, this really brings up a sore spot with me, how the name "MacGyver" has become an adjective. By using this good man's name as an adjective belittles and dilutes his proud heritage. Show some respect people! He's not on the air anymore to defend himself. But, if anything deserved it, this contraption over at the ReadyMade web site does. Apparently they run an ongoing contest called the MacGyver Challenge (there it is again, don't get me STARTED!) and Ken Kirkpatrick's Altoids Mini Speakers won.

Now, we've seen so many uses for the ubiquitous Altoids tin (they're not vegetarian, BTW) but the beauty of his MacGyverism (now I'm doing it) is that you can use any old speakers out of crappy headphones. So if you're on a really tight budget, like the change that's sliding around the floor of your car, this might be right for you. If you wanted to be really hip, you could choose cool playing cards and turn them face side out, "I've got an ace of spades Altoids tin mini speaker. I'm dangerous, baby."

Thanks to Fred
