    In reply to Wooden Automata iPhone Dock Cranks From Vertical to Horizontal
    Look, nothing personal against you guys or this particular dock (in fact, it's one of the better ones)...but I mean, maybe an iPhone Dock of the Day might be a little less overwhelming? This is the second new iPhone dock article since the one yesterday that said the iPhone dock meme was dead. It's a bit much.

    I am going to pass on the wood jokes and express my emphatic support for wood as a material in phones. If you treat it with an epoxy, you get something nearly as good as carbon fiber (and less... douche-y).

    I know that this is just asking to be made fun of... But I believe that 'touch wood' is the equivalent of 'knock on wood' in various other languages.

    I recall this only because i was curious as the the origins of 'knock on wood' a few weeks ago. Turns out it (like everything else) has to do with fairies...

    How much wood would a Wood Touch touch if a Wood Touch could touch wood?

    Given the curved shape I think it would have been a little cooler if you could switch the configuration depending upon if you are right or left handed...

    @Jrsy Devil's Bright Idea®: yeah, if it was accelerometer based and could switch the entire orientation and had dual mics/speakers set up on both end so it would actively mute/unmute based on orientation would be sweet.

    and also, some people like holding the phone with their off hand anyway. some people even go as far as getting their hand numb first before playing with their phones, almost like a stranger is playing with it.

    If it didn't scream novelty legume or gag potato, I'd want one cuz of that classy wooden backplate, but it'd be nice to have good software to go with it.

    All bicycles used to run on wooden rims. Wooden rims were used for track well into the '40s, and you can still buy them today.

    I live 2 blocks away from these guys in Portland, Or. Ken, the owner, gave me a tour and he is a super nice guy. Sprocket, the shop cat, is the best shop cat ever. And their bikes are pretty cool too.

    They should have put one of the Wooden Cane Creek Headsets on it.
    If there was ever an appropriate application for a Wooden Headset...

    @gizmodog: I don't think so, there seems to be some kind of epoxy resin on the surface that will keep water from penetrating into the wood itself.
