Giving Up My iPod for a Walkman13-year-old Scott Campbell reports on his experiences with old school technology when he swapped his iPod for a Walkman for a week. Really interesting to see what he has to say.
harikaA great blog by Szaza, a Turkish artist based in Istanbul. I particularly love her beautiful Moleskin sketchbook drawings of everyday life in her city, with scenes of cafes, bus rides, and vignettes of things found on the street. She takes great photos, too!
