If you haven’t heard already, Apple is extending their iPod trademark to include the word ‘pod’. A few companies have already been “served” by Apple legal for their pending US trademark for the word pod, which they already have in the EU.
Now if Apple is going after people who use pod in their products, what’s going to happen to certain podcasts that use it in their name?
If you couldn’t tell by the badge down in the 2nd sidebar column before the TLA ad, I’m a proud member of Random Shapes. A teen blog network much like 9rules, but full of teenagers age 13-19. The first podcast episode of the Random Shapes podcast with Bekka and Chasen describes Random Shapes better than I can.
A family. Eventhough we all may not be in contact all the time, we’re a closeknit group of teens from all over, and we’re a family, nothing short of it either.
How do you join Random Shapes, go to randomshapes.com and click contact and tell us (well Mattbob Jones) why you belong here. Unlike most applicants I was approached via email by Matt, back in March of this year:
Hey Larry,
I’ve been reading your blog for a few weeks now and I’m wondering if you would be interested in joining the Random Shapes Blog Network. The network is a group of teen written blogs and I think you’d make a great addition to the network. You can read more about Random Shapes on the network site at www.randomshapes.com.
Let me know if you’re interested in joining!
Thanks,
Matt Jones
Random Shapes is a great network to belong to with a bunch of great teens and great blogs, go check it out!
My blog is worth $14,678.04.
How much is your blog worth?
I have in my larry[at]amacgenius[dot]com inbox as of right now, with the first email dated December 28, 2005 to just a few minutes ago on August 22, 2006.
Now, 1500 emails sitting in my inbox (that’s after I’ve deleted the spam) is quite a lot, although I know nowhere near the email inboxes some of these famous tech people have (ex. Leo Laporte, Kevin Rose, Woz, etc). Also that’s probably nothing compared to some of your inboxes.
Look I just got another email, this one from eBay about an item I never receieved, there’s one I have to keep.
Anyways I guess this is a post so I can compare my inbox to say, yours. That’s right, post your inbox in the comments, I’m curious.
Today, my friend Caitlyn Imburgo announced that she’s holding a contest for those with Front Row remotes to actually use them for something other than, say, Front Row.
The contest involves you taking a picture of your Front Row remote, and be creative. There’s 4 judges for this, yours truly, Ara Kourchians, Nathan M. and of course Caitlyn Imburgo.
The prize? A license to Awaken, which seems to be a very good app, and totally worth your time to take a photo.
So go here and read about everything you’ll need to know and submissions dates, etc.
