“Has Pasadena burned down yet?”

October 23rd, 2007 Rachel

Thankfully, no. The MusicIP contingent is safe and sound, but still relatively near all the fires popping up around southern California (in a “closer than if we were in Albuquerque, Seattle, or Halifax kind of way”…). The damage that has been done is pretty staggering and significant…and unfortunately not uncommon in this part of the world. As was so eloquently said this morning by Wendell - “It’s nature doing some gardening.” Sad, but so true.

However, here’s a glimpse of the lovely air outside my office today, at around 10:20am.

Yummy. Take a deep breath…

My Walkman cost more than your iPod

October 23rd, 2007 Rachel

Seriously, people. This is kind of ridiculous. ALMOST ridiculous enough that I love it, but not quite.

In case you are wondering why I’m bewildered by two very familiar devices, it’s because these are replicas that serve only one purpose. To bling-i-fy.

For 5x the cost of a Walkman cassette player, and 1/2 the cost of an iPod Nano, you too can wear your tech savvy on your sleeve neck, for all to see.

Oh wait - aren’t you already doing that by wearing the actual player itself?
