For Mac Eyes Only Fun News – A Conversation With Jake Harms

April 28, 2008 by

Episode #073b

The following is the “Fun News” segment for episode 73 of For Mac Eyes Only. I released it separately because it was too long to insert into the main show, but it was an interesting conversation and one I thought you would enjoy as well.

My talk is with Jake Harms, a 24 year old Mac Fanatic, who wanted to tell us about a project he’s undertaken to rebuild first generation iMacs as Aquariums.

If you’d like to read more about Jake’s iMacquarium, see photos of the final product, or to buy one of your own, be sure to head over to his site at jakeharms.com
