New iPod nano 16GB
New iPod nano 16GB (6th Generation)
A Rocking New Design
iPod nano is now all music and all multi-touch. It's smaller, lighter, colourful and sleek. You can clip it on, take it everywhere, and always keep your music within reach
Music has a Whole New Feel
iPod nano has been completely redesigned with Multi-Touch--the same technology that makes iPhone, iPad and iPod touch so amazing. Now it's half the size and even easier to play. Everything you want to hear is just a tap or swipe away.
Turn up the Colour
In sleek anodised aluminium and seven bright colours, iPod nano makes a huge statement: You are, most definitely, ready to rock.
Pixels that Pop
Show off your album art, photos and the colour-coordinated wallpaper on the 1.5-inch colour display with 240x240 pixel resolution. It's tiny yet stunning.
Clip on and Cut Loose
The new built-in clip makes it easy to move to the music. Just clip iPod nano to your sleeve, jacket or bag and wherever you go, your favourite tunes are right where you need them.
Plug into the Groove
With the built-in 30-pin connector, you can easily plug iPod nano into your car stereo system, your speakers at home and many other products made for iPod.
It Fits Your Fingers
iPod nano is 46% smaller, 42% lighter and 100% made for music with Multi-Touch. It's the perfect size for a tap or a swipe, so fingertips feel right at home.
New Features for Fingers
If you think you're into music now, wait until you get your hands on iPod nano. your favourite songs are a tap away--along with a mix-making Genius, a built-in FM radio, and more.
Your Greatest Hits. And Taps. And Swipes
The best things in life have a soundtrack, and that's where iPod nano shines. The Multi-Touch display lets you experience your music in a new way. Tap to play anything you want to hear, swipe the home screen to browse your music by songs, albums, artists, playlists, genres or composers. You can even rearrange the icons on your home screen so your music is organised just how you like.
Clip on Some Tunes
With the new built-in clip, you can walk, run, ride or dance with your favourite songs on your sleeve (or pocket, jacket or bag). The album art of the song you're listening to fits perfectly on the display.
Play all day. And all Night
The built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery gives you up to 24 hours of non-stop music. So when you clip on an 8GB or 16GB iPad nano, you'll have plenty of tunes to make it through your commute, your workout and beyond.
Shake it Up
Now for something completely random. Give iPod nano a shake and it shuffles to a different song in your music library. Shake to shuffle is perfect for when you're not in any particular music mood. You never know what you're going to hear, and you'll always be pleasantly surprised.
Genius--The music mixmaster
Your own Personal DJ
Say you're listening to a song you love and you want to stay in the groove, just tap Genius. It finds other songs on your iPod nano that go great together and makes a Genius playlist for you. For more song combinations you wouldn't have thought of yourself, create Genius mixes in iTunes and sync the ones you like to your iPod nano. Then tap the Genius Mixes icon and rediscover songs you haven't heard in a while--or find music you forgot you even had.
FM Radio--Touch that Dial
Radio nano
Ride the airwaves on iPod nano. The FM tuner shows the artist, song or program you're listening to. Just tap to see the radio controls, flick the radio dial to change stations, and tap to set your favourites.
Live Pause
If you need to take a break from listening, don't miss a minute of radio time with Live Pause. Tap to pause a song or show, then tap again to continue where you left off. you can rewind as far back as 15 minutes or fast-forward to catch up to the live broadcast.
Fitness--Meet your New Personal Trainer
Clip and go. And go. And go
The new iPod nano design actually helps keep you fit. It's portable and wearable, which makes it runnable, walkable and workout-able. Clip it on and control your music with just a tap or swipe of a finger, so you can stay focused without fumbling around. For your run, walk or trip to the gym, a little iPod nano goes a long way.
Stay Fit with Every Step
iPod nano doubles as a pedometer, which makes it the ideal exercise partner. It keeps track of your steps and helps you meet your fitness goals. Just clip it on and walk on. You can create a daily step goal and check your progress when you upload all your data to the Nike+ website.
Rock Your Workout
With the Nike + iPod Sport Kit (sold separately), iPod nano keeps you motivated from warm-up to cooldown on your run or in the gym. Lace up a pair of Nike+ running shoes and clip on your iPod nano. You’ll watch the miles unfold and hear real-time voice feedback along with your favorite songs. In the gym, connect iPod nano to a Nike + iPod compatible cardio machine. It records your pace, time and distance as you work out and rock out.
iTunes--For Your iPod Playing Pleasure
Everything you Need to be Entertained
iTunes is the best way to fill your iPod nano with the latest music, podcasts, audiobooks and more. It’s also the best way to browse and organise the ever-expanding digital media collection on your Mac or PC. Everything you buy on the iTunes Store--and any music from CDs you import--appears in your iTunes library. You can make your own playlists, create Genius playlists, choose Genius Mixes and sync it all to your iPod nano.
The World's #1 Music Store
Load your iPod nano with your favorite tunes. Or browse over 13 million songs and discover even more. You can search by artist name, song or album title and handpick exactly the songs you want. Want some help finding new music? The Genius sidebar recommends new music based on the songs you already love. When you find something that sparks your interest, listen to the free 30-second preview. Click once to buy the song and it starts downloading instantly. It’s the fastest, easiest way to build a digital music collection for your iPod nano.
Built-in Accessibility
iPod nano comes with accessibility features that help people with disabilities enjoy music, audiobooks and more.
VoiceOver
iPod nano features VoiceOver, the world’s first gesture-based screen reader. Touch the screen to hear a description of the item under your finger, then double-tap, drag, or flick to control iPod nano. Use the optional Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic to control your music without looking at the screen. VoiceOver tells you the name of the song or artist--and it speaks 29 languages.
White on Black
If you prefer higher contrast, iPod nano lets you change the display to white on black. Use the White on Black feature in any application, as well as on the Home screen.
Mono Audio
If your hearing is limited in one ear, turn on Mono Audio to route audio into both earbuds so you can hear both channels in either ear.

our mission statement is changing from something that sounds like we make widgets, to something that sounds like we transform lives.
this makes for a perfect time to refresh our business cards. i had a great layout all set to go, then they tell me they want to go a little different. we only want department heads to have cards now. if anyone else wants them (including me) they can just hand write all their info.
this is not open for debate, so i'm trying to find a good solution where the printed cards don't stand out too much from the hand written cards.
what do we like?
the "name tag" card is my boss's fav, but isn't quite working for me. the layout feels weird. idea came from this guy's card.

This look was all about the jacket. I wanted a statement piece, and a Sgt. Pepper's style military jacket was what was needed! I mean, this kid is a rockstar! The inside is just as fun as the outside {check out my blog for more pics}, I made a patchwork lining using every single fabric I used throughout the competition! The inside pocket of the jacket is the pocket of the shirt I used last week. I used the Basic Blazer by Blank Slate Patterns as a base, modifying it heavily. I changed the collar up to a mandarin collar and stitched 6 metres of gold gimp braid to the front and 26cm of gold braid to the shoulders. I made the shoulder braid stick out a little over the shoulder seams. I also added braid on the sleeves, and stitched black cuffs underneath. 12 gold buttons handsewn to the front finish it off!
The rest of the look needed to be awesome, but not over-powering the jacket. I didn't want him to look like he was in a costume {although he would have loved that probably!}. I chose plain black dropped-crotch ninja pants {because the kid dreams of being Kai from Ninjago} with a wide waistband and deep side pockets for shoving his Lego into. There always has to be a safe place for his Lego mini-figures. I made a slouch beanie from the bottom of an old black sweater and I finished off the look with a gold shirt. I used Rae's Flashback Skinny Tee pattern and made a slinky mustard-coloured tee. I practised drawing the bat a billion times, because I cannot draw, but eventually got the courage up to sketch the baby bat onto the tee using a fabric marker. I love bats, and Batman, and this is a subtle nod to the little guy who tears around the house with his 'gwapple hook' pretending to be Batman. My baby bat.

A Photo A Day For A Year
Day 15 / 365
I almost died the other day. For once, there is actually no hyperbole in that statement. I really did come that close. Allow me to explain.
Thanks to you guys, I was able to take that long, treacherous journey from southeast Iowa to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to pick the girl up. And oh my god if that drive wasn't the most perilous and difficult one that I have ever made. I've been through the Rocky Mountains at the tail end of winter. I've driven the twenty-six hours to New Orleans and back in a single go, and just about every crevice of interstate in between and never have I experienced what I did on the drive here. I type this from Pittsburgh, actually, two days after my intended date of departure. I'm kind of scared to leave to be honest with you.
I made it through Illinois without much to write about. It was a little blustery, a little windy, but the drive was pretty standard fare. In fact, I was quite elated to get through the entire state without seeing even a single police officer. That was a first. But then I hit Indiana and the snow really started to fall.
This was a huge problem because my windshield wipers are pretty much inoperative. They don't do their job well without the aid of wiper fluid and my nozzle has been completely frozen solid since winter began. Even when I poured hot water over the thing at my first gasoline stop, it refroze within minutes. The wind chill outside was a staggering -27 degrees Fahrenheit and I realized pretty quickly that the effort to keep the port open was a fool's errand. Semi-trucks kept kicking up dirty slush and rendered my windshield obscured to the point where it was very hard to see through it. And it kept happening over and over and over again. By the time I hit the Ohio border (nine hours into what is usually a ten hour drive in total), I was exhausted.
And then the heavy snow turned whiteout.
I arrived in Columbus, Ohio at about ten-thirty and was greeted by a six lane interstate that was 100% unplowed. The roads were slick and the cars on either side of me didn't seem to mind that fact much. They were flying by at speeds that I couldn't even dare climb to even if I wanted to reach them. I kept my speedometer needle hovering at around 60 MPH (what I deemed to be a safe speed given the circumstances) and tried to inch my way through the city. I still couldn't see much through that obscured windshield and it was ten times worse now that there was so much snow involved. I thought back to the morning when my brother Dakota scolded me for even considering the drive in such conditions.
"The roads are straight shit, dude." He told me.
"Nah, they aren't so bad." I replied, then promptly left.
I took the exit to Wheeling, West Virginia and hit a patch of black ice as I was coming off of it. This is normal even in Iowa and I'm well aware of how to correct such an event, so I turned in the direction of my spin and, upon correcting myself, immediately hit another patch of black ice. My car spun out, then kept spinning through all six lanes of traffic, and landed less than eight inches from the embankment on the left side. Somehow, something that I can't rationalize or explain, I didn't hit a single car. I didn't hit the edge of the embankment. Instead, I was momentarily stuck on the edge of the road with a body so full of adrenaline that I was still shaking when I finally did arrive to Pennsylvania some five hours later.
Now, I'm not a believer in miracles or divine intervention or anything like that. In fact, I'm pretty damn skeptical of anything even remotely resembling supernatural activity. I used to go ghost hunting with my buddy Joel, an avid believer in the supernatural, and I would crack wise-ass jokes and upset him greatly in the middle of the night at various cemeteries or basements. To me, when you die, you simply become worm food. There is no more you. You are extinguished, you are a dead light-bulb, you are a decaying corpse that no longer exists in any capacity beyond the cadaver. I've long maintained that position and I still do believe that. So, when I'd ghost hunt with Joel, the whole thing just reeked of silliness to me. I couldn't take it seriously.
But god damn if I don't have a hard time rationalizing the piling coincidence of this. How did I spin through so much traffic and avoid hitting a single car? How did I land so conveniently close to an embankment and not slam into it? How was I able to simply put my car in a different gear to get myself unstuck? The whole thing really put my head for a loop and even now, even right here in Pennsylvania retelling the event, I can't get over just how lucky I was in that moment. In all, the whole thing happened in probably six seconds. It wasn't the kind of thing where time slowed down and I was able to make sense of it before it ended. Everything happened so fast and then it was over. Cars continued to fly by me at rapid pace. The world kept spinning. The snow kept falling. My windshield was still madly obscured.
I'm a little nervous to get back on the road tomorrow morning, though I have so much work to get through that it makes me a little nauseous to think about. I know I need to get back. I know I gotta get back to the grind, start the videos again, etc; etc. I have to do this. But it scares me.
So I apologize for the last couple days with no output on these custom Patreon posts, but I haven't had access to a computer and I didn't particularly want to create posts that didn't have much graphical content. But I felt like I owed you guys an explanation as to my whereabouts and this story was too much to not share.
I will update you again (this time with photos) tomorrow evening when I arrive back to my house in Iowa. Wish us luck. I'll see you guys on the other side. Love you.
