After transitioning to the iPod Software team here at Apple just a few weeks ago, I’ve now completed my first project – by releasing the new “iPod shuffle Reset Utility” for both Mac and Windows. This has been a HEAVILY-requested update by users of our original iPod shuffles, which is now documented in an Apple KBase article:

Several websites and discussion boards picked up on this release pretty quickly – and from the comments associated with several of these posts, it appears we now have many very happy users:

AND, to celebrate my first project, Patricia decided to produce an incredibly-creative take on the icon for this utility, in both cake and cookie form:

It was great to pursue this through to completion, but we’ll have to see if upcoming projects are as … shall we say, “interesting” … as this one was, or not.
