USB Drive Mix Tape

 I’ve given and received a lot of mix cds, but I’m nostalgic for the age of cassettes. Cds seem so cold, and yet I no longer have a working tape player, so mix tapes wouldn’t work any better. Enter the USB drive mix tape– a cute one-hour drive you place inside a tape. Check it out at Perpetualkid.com– it has good pictures, though currently out of stock. I’m sure you can find it other places, as well. Good idea for a casual Valentine’s Day present (too bad I’m a month late) or to bring to a sick loved one.

My copies of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass were published in 1946. I also have the annotated edition, which has lots of fun trivia. I did a nine page paper on Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (AKA Lewis Carroll) and his works in middle school. Can you explain the mathematical allusions he made in the first book? I can.

横好き ~ Yokozuki

Loosely translated at WWWJDIC, "being crazy about something, but bad at it." You don't have to be good at something to have fun-- just ask The Really Terrible Orchestra. This blog is about having fun and loving life, whether it's playing concertos or making disastrous creme brulee.
