These "CupSpeakers" from designer Dmitry Zagga are MacGyverific. With nothing more than a large disposable drinking cup, a couple of toothpicks, and the included iPod earbuds, Zagga has constructed a sleek, cheap, and easy speaker system for his iPod. He claims the volume increase is "significant," and his photography makes this self-aware DIY project look like something straight out of a Steve Jobs PowerPoint.

I think I'm going to do this tomorrow after I snag some paper cups from the coffee shop. I'm totally serious; I've been looking for a little hands-on project for a couple of weeks. The best part about this is the nostalgia over using a needle and a paper cone to play a record spun on a pencil.

You remember records? Much like plates of black food, we filled up our faces, saw some far places, then stopped listening to Jackson singles.

Oh come on, he was the King of Pop for a good reason. Plus, I was like, seven.
