This one is for all you mp3 player—iPod or otherwise—owners out there who have ever faced the dilemma I am about to describe.
Picture this: you’re listening to your music. Alone.
It’s a fun, groovy little time for you, right? But it’s—let’s face it—a little bit solitary. What happens when you suddenly think to yourself, “Gee. I would really like to share this rocking Decemberists song with three to five of my closest companions.”
Up till now, if you didn’t have a pair of speakers with the proper connector handy, you were out of luck. But NOT ANYMORE! Now, all you need is your iPod, your earbuds, and—are you ready?—your mouth.
That’s right, folks! Your God-given oracular cavity is a perfect sound chamber to transmit your tunes to those standing immediately around you. Just follow these simple steps:
- Turn on your iPod-like device.
- Choose a rocking song.
- Crank the volume.
- Rest your earbuds on your lips, and close lightly around them. (Adjustment may be required to produce fullest sound.)
- Watch your friends ooh and ah in amazement!
I know, I know… only a Gutenberg student could discover something quite so awesomely revolutionary. And trust me—there’s more where this came from.

holy crap! That’s crazy! Btw, this makes you look really stupid at work …
May 31st, 2007 at 12:44 pm
Haha. I’ll give it a try with my friends tomorrow.

Lolz “oracular cavity”
May 31st, 2007 at 4:55 pm
It works!!! Felt a little stupid putting the earbuds in my mouth but it really worked pretty good.
I wonder if the nose would work as well…
…just kidding!!!! LOL!
By the way, great blog!

Have you asked friends if it works, or does it just seem to you to work because you can hear it through your mouth? Anyway, cool idea.
PS, I got here from the bloggies, and I think you shoud’ve won the teen blog award. I haven’t seen any other teen blogs that aren’t vapid, self indulgent and boring. You’re is none of the above.

Sorry, I meant “yours is none of the above”.

the joys of accoustics… it’s all physics i tell you
you could probably get sponsorship from Apple now… or write a dissertation on the topic

Francesco – Nope. Doesn’t work. Don’t ask.
Ellie – Thank you very much for your kind words—that means a lot to me.
Oh, and, yes, I tried it out with my friends. 
Dan – I welcome any and all sponsorships from Apple.

I’ve been showing it off for days. My friends are getting annoyed.

Not to detract from your “awesomely revolutionary” idea, but that is disgusting! I don’t think anyone would but their earbuds anywhere near their mouth. There are gross dust mites and not to mention whatever the hell happens to be in your ear (like bologna, for instance) that are harboring away in those grody earbuds. I guess I just don’t want any bodily fluids, waxes or… Protists in my mouth… besides the obvious saliva and such. Nice try, but imo, you fail. Sorry
