Gandhi is Google’s G, Yo

In celebration of Mohandes Gandhi’s 150th birthday, Google has created a new logo doodle which appears on their homepage, subbing Gandhi’s round, bald head as the letter G.

If your lucky enough to pal around with people like Senior VP of Industrial Design for Apple, Jonathan Ive, than you might be fortunate enough to receive really unique gifts for your birthday. Designer friend of Ive, Paul Smith, received his gigantic iPod Nano from Ive and Ive’s Apple co-worker Jody.

In reaction to the gift, Smith said “as the real thing gets smaller, he sends me a giant version.” Hey, Ive, you wanna go grab a bite sometime?

Happy Birthday Walkman!

The Sony Walkman turns 30 today. Christ, the thing has got half a decade on me.

When I received my first Walkman as a gift, it was accompanied by Green Day’s Insomniac album. You can bet your ass that thing heard its fair share of Ace of Base and Aqua by the time it had run its course.

I remember my first Walkman like it was 12 years ago. Wait…

They say you always remember your first. Do you?

Update: And just for shits and giggles, if you haven’t seen this article yet, see what a young teen from the iPod generation makes of the Walkman. (Thanks for the suggestion Captain Moof)
