16 New Year’s Ideas - #4

One of the most common New Year’s resolutions is learning something new. For me the way that I do that is by taking classes online. For me I wanted to explore another subject after college so I decided to take a online class in it and it’s really changed my world a bit. So for this 2016, consider taking a course at UCLA’s extension program. They’re one of the best online programs out there and have certificate programs in many subjects if you want to take your classes to the next level.

Enjoy 2016 and sticking to those resolutions!

The Perfect Thing: How the iPod Shuffles Commerce, Culture, and Coolness : Book Review

The Perfect Thing: How the iPod Shuffles Commerce, Culture, and Coolness by Steven Levy My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book covers the iPod from just about every angle. How it was made, how people responded to it, where it fits in the history of portable music players, why it’s “cool”. The most surprising thing to me is how long ago the pre-smartphone world feels. The book was published in 2006 (1 year before the iPhone), but it feels like the stone age when Levy gushes about how small and light the iPod is..! An Interesting read :)
