ipod shuffle vs panasonic tape player

i was going through some boxes and came across my wife’s old panasonic portable tape player (aka walkman). this sports model was hot stuff way back in 1996 - with shockwave protection for all you joggers out there. 15 years later we have 1000 songs for not much bigger than a quarter (thank you apple). just the belt clip alone for the panasonic is 3x the size of the ipod shuffle. what a waste of plastic.

gotta love technology.

if you’re not familiar with CLEAR, it may be time to do so. as the clear slogan states: CLEAR is the smart way to speed through airport security. we’ve all heard and seen what’s been happening with the TSA’s use of full body scanners and pat downs and while the clear card may not necessarily give you a free pass from that hassle, it certainly will get you through the security line faster.

to promote the card which is being re-issued after a technology upgrade, our friends and associates at attention pr (whom we did the estee lauder BCA fb app & mattel ken shoot with) came up with the longest line contest running exclusively on twitter and facebook. from now till the end of the year submit a photo of the longest line you find - with the #longestlineever hashtag -  for a chance to win an ipad or free CLEAR membership.

you know you’ll be thinking about it when you’re waiting on those damn lines next time you fly home for the holidays. now if they would only make one for the mall…
