The kids at Signal Snowboards have an awesome self-challenge: Once a month, they brainstorm some wild and crazy board project, then set about building and documenting it via a web show called Every Third Thursday. In honor of the recently passed Steve Jobs, they set about building a board with iPad enclosed within it. Not so easy.
They gave the a board an aluminum base (better electrical conductivity that way), a battery, and, yes, an operable Apple tablet. The point isn’t practicality, obviously, but to see how and whether they can pull it off. And that’s what makes this video so fun to watch — to see the setbacks, the flow of ideas, and then the final product.

Steve Jobs changed the entire world with his visionary outset and revamping of wireless media and communications. He’ll be a name which rings out through history for evolving the way we live, share and communicate. I was compelled to create a portrait of him, now In Memoriam on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/08/end-of-era-steve-jobs.html
If you were running with any Skullcandy bluetooth you could use you music off the iPad. That would be sick.
