I’d love one of these iPod cases. As usual, you can’t buy them, but it can’t be too hard to make one – first stop eBay. Shame to break such a lovely retro Walkman though…

Via ffffound, which came via ipodhacks, which came from apple-touch, which came from gearfuse, which came from dvice, which came from gadgetvenue, which seems to have come from sirljohn’s flickr stream. Thought I’d post all the links, I had to follow the trail to the end, kind of like finding one end of a piece of string…

Emma Clarke is the voice of the London Underground tube announcements. She’s the calm and collected voice of every single delay, nightmarish late arrival to work, relentless tourist scrum and late night bleary eyed stumble home for all us Londoners. Despite being oh so very helpful and sincere, (She IS sorry for your delay you know) she also appears to have a sense of humour.

Check out these spoof announcements she has recorded. My personal favourites being:

“I may look nothing like you imagine”

“Passengers filling in their sudokus”

and…

“A reminder for American tourists”

I love my obsolete formats, so I thought this MP3 player in the shape of an old cassette tape was fantastic. It takes an SD card loaded with MP3s, but the best thing is you can also put it in a cassette player and listen to the contents! Technology coming full circle…
