Lasonic i931 iPod Ghetto Blaster A Reality

We posted the Lasonic iPod Boombox back in August, but at that time the thing just seemed conceptual. Then comes CES 2008, and presto, the Lasonic i931 iPod Ghetto Blaster in the flesh! Damn yeah I'm excited. It's MSRP is set at a paltry $169 and the company is currently looking for distributors. I actually just finished emailing them saying that I'd gladly be their U.S. distributor. I mean it can't be that hard right? I just take orders and shit the things out. Ha! I just typed shit instead of ship, and I'm not changing it. Mostly because my delete key is broken and I'm too drunk to accurately click on that party of the paragraph. Look, I did it again -- I wrote party instead of part! Jesus, I need to lie down. Or puke. Definitely puke. Then maybe I'll take a little nap on the bathroom floor.

Three more pics and the unit's specs after a little breakdancing.

    Some guy made a Space Invader themed coffee table and is now selling it on Craigslist. He's asking $450, which is expensive. He has the list of materials he used on his website and apparently the thing cost him $415.59 to build. Which is also expensive. I'd be tempted to ma... / Continue →
