I had some free time over the Thanksgiving weekend, so I spent some time working on a small crafts project I’ve wanted to do for a while. I have had this beautiful Harry Potter calendar from 2006 that I had stored away and would take out once in a while to look at because I love the illustrations by Mary Grandpre.

Mix, Mixtapes, Hooray!
12/21/08 Update: Since I wrote this post, both Mixwit and Muxtape have shut down.
Have you noticed that there are all kinds of websites nowadays letting you create your own music playlists in the form of mixtapes and publish them pretty much anywhere? It’s one of the nice by-products of social networking. Mixwit is one of them, and it comes complete with analog tape cassette skins! It brings back memories of large chunks of my childhood spent sitting in front of the stereo creating mixtape after mixtape after mixtape. I just couldn’t resist it. Muxtape is another such cool service, but it doesn’t let you embed your mixtape on your website as of yet.
For an amazing showcase of analog audio cassette designs check out tapedeck.org.
