You know it, buying things for your iPod never really gets old. So, I’ve found a few new accessories that are a bit more than the iPod sock case or a car transmitter.

Multiple people have created lists on Amazon to help get others “set up” with the good stuff via Amazon. This guy has a guide for those on a budget, and this guy who would like to help you “get started” with a video iPod.

Angel/Devil headphones... because you know they're always influencing you anyway.

There will always be some weird stuff out there for gadgets- take the Top 10 Strangest iPod accessories- including the iPod boxers, iPod thong, iPod wallet, and just more strange things, like the iBreath breathalyzer, that will recommend music based on your BAC.

On the more pratical side…. Music in the bathroom is awesome. However, finding waterproof speaker docks isn’t always so awesome. I found the coolest raindrop shaped speaker via Gizmine- and it comes in multiple colors. But the best part about it is that your iPod is housed safely inside. Here’s another example from Pioneer.

As mentioned before, expressing yourself via your iPod accessories is really the only way to go these days. My roommate sent me these angel/devil headphones (variety of colors) because she knew that I fight with these two on a daily basis…

In the spirit of March Madness, buy the iBracket application for $.99 via Apptism and import your brackets from Yahoo!, ESPN, or CBS Sports– and the brackets will automatically update based on game scores. If you’re one of those crazy people who run multiple brackets, the app supports that too.

We’ve all seen (or heard rumors, or looked for) those hidden secrets in movies (especially Disney), DVD extras, software, hardware, or firmware.

Deemed “easter eggs,” because they’re fun to look for and even more fun when you actually find them, facebook’s pirate english is no exception to this “fun” rule- even if it means that your cell phone is called a “parrot” videos are “bewitched portraits” and friends are “Hearties.”

Wikipedia gives a better explanation: Easter eggs are messages, videos, graphics, sound effects, or an unusual change in program behavior that sometimes occur in a software program in response to some undocumented set of commands, mouse clicks, keystrokes or other stimuli intended as a joke or to display program credits.

So, basically, you’ve got a bunch of nerdy programmers looking to stretch their talents- aka hiding something silly/geeky/funny/techy into whatever it is they are creating. And other crazy techy people love to look for them. It’s similar to how you would search for those secret codes or passages in Mario Kart (i <3 mariokart…)

And Facebook’s Pirate English is no exception… according to nick burcher’s blog, Facebook rolled out this new language (and trust me, it’s a full language) not only to show off their translation skills, but on “national pirate day.”

Mashable writes that Facebook also like to hide quotes at the bottom of the page, including (but not limited to) “only the craftiest of quails survive hunting season”. Highlight the area to see it. Interesting.

In the mean time, check out eeggs.com for the Easter Egg Archive: Movies, DVDs, Software, Operating Systems and other stuff.  View the top 25 application easter eggs here and the worst 25 here.

Downgrade: new regulations have limited the number of secret nerdy things you can add into an application- mainly because of the fear behind this thought: if you can add in a seperate language, what else can you do? who is checking your work?

boo. i vote for innovation and the creation of hilarious languages.
