Customize your own casette tapes online at Says-it.com. This is the exact same technology as the Web 2.0 Logo Generator posted last week, but I'm a sucker for this stuff.
Implications - Whether you're a romantic with a penchant for cherishing custom technology from the past, or you just love the sound of cassette music coming out of your tape deck, this is a pretty nifty website to visit. Cassettes might not have the convenience factor of CDs or the acoustic purity of vinyl records, but for those of you who grew up in the golden age of this vintage technology, their appeal is hard to deny.
