Little Boxes

In my search for the perfect iPod case, I've tried store-bought cases that didn't fit my specific model, or wouldn't stay closed, and decided to make my own. First I tried knitting a case; it looks fun, but does not protect the screen. The solution? Duct tape & cereal boxes. Clear packaging tape, folded over, works well for both protecting the screen and using the wheel. Happy listening!

On the Radio (oh ohh-ohh)

I am going to be a DJ! Starting next week, I will be DJ-ing on CHIRP: The Chicago Independent Radio Project. The station is launching this Sunday at Noon, and I will be DJ-ing every Thursday from 9 am-12 noon, Chicago time (that's 10am-1pm for the East Coast). You can listen online, check out playlists (my Best of 2009), events, articles, and other fun things at their website. Check it out!
