For nearly a decade now the word iPod has become a synonym for music player. This not only proves that Apple have an effective marketing department, but also that they have made something special. Their newest version of that original gem is the iPod Classic. This for one means saying goodbye to the old gleaming white iPod and hello to more space than you will ever need for music.

Can't Stop, Won't Stop
"Homely letters grew outlines, colours, patterns, highlights, depth, shadows, arrows. Names were bubblized, gangsterized, mechanized. Letters dissected, bisected, cross-sected, fused, bulged, curved, dipped, clipped, chipped and disintegrated. They filled with shooting stars, blood drips, energy fields, polygons. They floated on clouds, zipped with motion lines, shot forward on flames. And they got bigger and bigger. Expanding from window-downs to top-to-bottom to end-to-ends, the pieces began appearing as dazzling thematic murals by 1974, covering entire sides of twelve-foot-high, sixty-foot-long cars. They were imposing themselves in bigger, more unavoidable ways. This was style as confrontation."
- My favorite passage from "Can't stop, won't stop", a book which documents the rise of hip-hop culture.
