That's what happens when a ME tries to do something electrical.
So, when I plugged it in to the iPod, nothing happened, I suppose that was good.

I'm going to swap the wires around soon and try it again.

And if I get it to work with no problems, I may start selling a few of them. Maybe even one will show up on CD Swap.
if you start selling them make sure the polarity is right! also i know exactly what you mean i blew two AC to DC converters and a $60 camera that way!
