Today at work I submitted an order for four iPods: two 40GB third generation and two 40GB Photo iPods. Why? I'm going to hack them to store and analyze genetic data. You can read more detail by clicking here. The point is, I think it is cool that my boss has enough confidence to buy me a photo iPod so that I can put Linux on it. If all goes well, I will present the results of this effort at the MGED conference in Norway. This is what I do at work. (Well, among other stuff, which you can read about in subsequent posts if you wish.)
