The Ongoing List of Reasons Why I Love the Internet…

458) Shalgo LetterHmmm… I wonder if there’s duct tape cases for the iPod Nano out there somewhere? Sure enough. Shalgo sells em. Oh, and they also sell ‘72 VW Squarebacks covered in duct tape. And, they sell stuff they stole from their buddy Tom’s apartment (cans of soup, etc.)

The shipping on my iPod case got a little screwed up, and I contacted them directly. Friendliest. Company. Ever. They sent me this letter, with a couple extra cases. The first person to leave a comment below gets a free iPod Nano case, courtesy of the fine folks at Shalgo.

459) I’ve got some revolutionary ideas about business cards, but I’m not going to share them all here right now. Suffice it to say, that the folks over at Moo had some of the same ideas. Business cards with your own original graphics! You can just upload photos to your Flickr account and then crop them and pop them on a cool new card.

Now, since I’m not really a businessman (I’m a business, man!), I’m just going to use them as trading cards. Or just to keep my favorite photos in my pocket, in case I want to show off this gem whenever I want.

460) Remember Pee-Wee’s Playhouse? Remember how he had that awesome telephone booth with video capabilities. Well, I’m pretty sure iChat is the modern equivalent. Folks are already making plugins so you can change your backdrop. That way you can pretend you’re in places much more exotic than your parent’s basement.Blaise Screenshot

Here’s a screenshot my buddy Blaise snagged while watching a football game in my living room.

461) Kayak.com. Best airfare site out there. California, here I come…
