Here’s a bit of web fun to liven up your weekend: a digital artist by the name of Pritesh Desai has recreated a fully functional first-generation iPod that you can play directly in your browser. In remembrance of Steve Jobs, Desai created the faux iPod with HTML5, CSS3, and a touch of jQuery. You can drag the click wheel around just like with the real deal, along with changing the volume, hitting play/pause, and even skipping tracks. An especially nice touch is the addition of Extras like the Clock and the Calendar. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to play any of your own tunes, but Desai had compiled a list of Creative Commons songs so you can see how the player works. The next step is for someone to fill this up with hits of the early aughts (Last Nite by The Strokes, perhaps?) so you can truly travel back in time to the heydays of Windows XP and the Enron scandal.
