Crocheted cassette tape ipod mini cozy

By remote | Published: November 11, 2008
This I like. From www.craftster.org I like that they have used the actual spools as a practical feature. I like that they have used both Queen and Boyz II Men cassette tapes to make this. Nice work.

Real recognise reel – Part 3.

By Anton | Published: August 30, 2008
Wow. I’ve known about this site for ages, and shame on me, I’ve neglected to post on it until now. Shame on me. tapedeck.org If Cassette Jam is the King, this site is surely the Prince. 355 large images of cassettes, sorted by brand, playing time and tape quality. What can I say? I’m a nitwit. Respect.

Cassette tape badges

By remote | Published: August 30, 2008
Making badges from cassette tape graphics. Well, why not. Actually, the simple, flat, colourful, 1970s ‘tech ’style has many fans. I can see why. I’ve never seen any CD or DVD packaging with as much style . . . Or perhaps I’m 30 years to early Oh, and effektive design are selling these online : www.effektivedesign.co.uk/badges/new-cassette-badge-sets/ This post actually [...]

Cassette (skateboard) Deck

By remote | Published: August 26, 2008
Not much to say on this one. Except maybe, what a bloody stupid idea. 1994 too. Why would anybody be spending any money on registering this patent? Baffling. from: www.denverskatepark.com/patents.html thanks!

Lost Formats: Compact Cassette

By remote | Published: August 26, 2008
The inclusion of the compact cassette in to this gallery of lost formats adds a familiar face amongst the other freaky looking silhouettes . . . But even the Digital Compact Cassette makes an appearance. I thought I was the only person that remembered them! It’s a fantastic record (pun kinda intended) of gone, but not forgotten formats. [...]

Cassette tapes – more than meets the eye.

By remote | Published: August 22, 2008
I never had this in Transformer collection when I was, but I think there was a kid at school that had the version of Soundwave that actually played cassette tapes . . . or maybe I just dreamt it . . . ? Here’s a new version, that comes with a slot for an SD card, [...]
