Awesome IZEA Schwag

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

You might know IZEA as the company behind blogging review service PayPerPost, blogger marketplace SocialSpark, and other cool properties. Well, a box arrived in my mailbox the other day which was filled with IZEA love.

The back of that shirt displays IZEA, of course:

The same goes for the I heart Geeks shirt:


SUPER cool. Those shirts are rocking. I totally will wear it 🙂 Thanks Ted, Ashley, and all the other cool IZEA guys!

People like handing out mints at trade shows. I suppose they think we all have bad breath. In any event, DoubleClick handed out its own packet of mints at SMX West.

Shades for iPod

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

If you wanted protection for your iPod, look no further than Shades for iPod. This isn’t quite a case — they call it a shade. It’s a durable film protector for any sized iPod, but since I had a Nano without protection, I opted for that.

I expected one color, but there’s a whole collection of colors to suit the mood:

And here is the clear one on the Nano. Can you see it? Probably not! Again, it’s a shade — not a case. 🙂 However, it is noticeable up close — though from far away, it looks just like any iPod Nano (unless you get one of those funky colors going on).

Application was easy and it looks like solid protection. You get full control over the scroll bar with the shade covering it.
