    So. Last weekend I was at a pizzeria with my girlfriend when — in a nutshell — my iPod 5G, Etymotic ER-6i Isolator Earbuds (recommended!), Digital Camera and Nintendo DS Lite (with the new Super Mario Bros. and Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap were stolen from my bag.

    Stolen. Gone. Over $1000 in electronics taken from me.

    Ah, life in New York.

    All that said and done it could have been worse. I could’ve been mugged. My housekeys, wallet or phone could’ve been swiped. Much as I love my iPod (and other things) they’re just material possessions.

    BUT!

    I’m going to ask you for help in raising money for a new iPod! If you love what I’m doing and you haven’t donated already, I’d request that you donate. It doesn’t have to be much, believe me. A buck, five, don’t go out of your way. If you can’t donate, well, I understand.

    In return, I’m going to finally update the site. Every day or so, (it’s a holiday weekend) I’m going to update the site with a new 5G and nano map. Up until this time you’ve been stuck with just the 4G maps. Today I put up the 5G London Map. After that I’ll sequentially go through the rest of the cities on the site and list them.

    For everyone who donates, I will publicly thank you on the site. Again, don’t feel as if you’re obligated to. If you can’t or won’t donate on principle, well hire me to design your web project or buy a photo from me (certain photos can’t be printed, as they’re digital). I’m also web designer and photographer, too.

    ps – if someone can let me know how many rows/cols the iPod Nano displays in thumbnail mode I’ll make a London map for that too.

      iPod Nano 2nd Gen displays pictures on a 4×3 grid as thumbnails. (4 columns, 3 rows).

      Ipod nano shows images in a 4Xn grid.Where 4 is the number of columns and n is the number of rows.It has screen a resolution of 176X132 pixels,that is each individual tile can have 176X132 resolution.So a map can have a width 176X4 that is 704 pixels and height of the map can be of any value.Hence the number of rows will be approximately- (height of the image in pixels/132).
