Dylan Casey - My view of the world
Welcome to my corner of the interweb. I like to post here about stuff I'm interested in like music, gadgets, hacks and the occasional random thought. You can read what the internets have to say about me here. I used to race bikes with the US Postal Service Professional Cycling team before hanging up my wheels to join the product team at Google. I don't race much anymore but I work with Team Specialized and mentor the juniors. Currently I spend time working at Path when I'm not tinkering with other projects or restoring my 1966 Mustang. I'm passionate about gadgets, bikes, mobile, social, and fighting cancer. You can reach me at dylan at dylancasey dot com. Check out my latest interests: The Fancy, Turntable.FM and Path.

If you know me, you’re familiar with my projects. So for the 4th of July weekend, I worked out one of my little hack/solution projects. I have Sonos zones and speakers all over my house but neglected the master bathroom where I have been using an old Bose Sound Dock Series 1 powered by an old iPod. I finally decided that I had to have Sonos in the bathroom but was conflicted about tossing out the Bose and replacing it with a Sonos S5. The problem with the Bose unit is that it doesn’t have an auxiliary input. At first I had planned on tearing it apart and hard wiring in a Aux to RCA cable, but I was able to find a much more elegant solution: http://www.cablejive.com/sounddock-cable plus an AUX to RCA adapter. After some more research, internet orders and implementation, my Bose is now powered by a Sonos Zone 90. Ironically my total out of pocket cost is nearly the cost of a new Sonos S5, but the satisfaction from hacking together a solution is priceless.
