Neat little gadget - non glass post :)

I haven't been creating my own artwork lately, yet I have been teaching glasses and helping other glass artists. One of the artists now has a new website. Check it out at Kimangers.com.

This shows my true Silicon Valley roots..... Technology. In that same ilk, I found a neat little gadget that I thought I'd post up here. There are plenty of small transmitter type devices for mp3 players and iPods. I currently do not have any type of mp3 player, so I was looking for something that could suit my desire to playback mp3s from my collection and then, when I get a player, would function as my little radio transmitter thingy-ma-bob.

Enter the i-Rocks FM transmitter. On the surface, it looks kind of bulky and white. Look a little closer...... Do you see the USB connection? That connection is for any standard USB thumbdrive. Load that thumbdrive with mp3s and voila! You now have a simple mp3 player. It also has support for the standard mini connection for an mp3 player. If you are like me, mp3 player-less, and have a ton of spare USB thumbdrives, then this device is for you.

Now, I really need to get back to the studio.....
