Toss another iPod onto the fire

Artist Ben Durrell has fond memories of sitting around a campfire and listening to stories. We can only imagine that those memories were part of the inspiration behind this creation: The Story Log. Cue up your favorite audiobook, connect the iPod to the dock made of an actual log of wood, and cuddle up with your loved ones as you listen to the story through the log's integrated speakers.

This is more of an art piece than a retail product, so don't expect to see one at the mall this weekend. Plus, as Ryan at Engadget suggests, you'd really need the right kind of house to pull this off anyway.
