iTunes 9 fixes the function of the expand window button

September 12, 2009 @ 4:35 pm

What’s the best thing about iTunes 9?

Let me tell you: Apple finally made the green expand window button do what it’s supposed to in iTunes. I’ve talked previously about how in previous versions of iTunes the expand window button actually made iTunes smaller by going into mini player mode. Stupid.

Button made of 3M Scotchlite reflective material

A company in Barcelona called rebaba sells premium badges that are pretty nice looking.

They sell one made entirely with 3M Scotchlite reflective material and you can get it at Supermarket for $6. I think it’s a good alternative to buying and applying reflective tape on a bag (which I have already done, but I would still consider this option in the future).

Things I bought on the road: Book It rainbow button

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about a Book It button being on eBay for just $1 but I didn’t bid on it mainly because it wasn’t the exact one that I remember seeing when I was younger.

By sheer coincidence (or maybe fate), I happened upon the exact button that I had in mind while I was at Duke’s Lexington Antiques Center in Virginia yesterday. It was buried under a whole mess of other buttons going for only $1 so I snatched it up and now it is in my posession. It’s in great condition (meaning, no rust) and the pin on the back is still intact and sharp enough to attach onto bags and clothing. But the most wonderful part is tilting the button from your view and watching as the rainbow in the background moves ever so slightly back and forth. Ahh, memories!

Book It button on eBay for $1

If any of you want a large 3″ button from Book It, you can buy one on eBay for $1 (plus $1.95 shipping). I want the Book It button that had a changing picture on it when you angled it differently, but nobody is selling that one. I can’t even find a picture of it (if you have one from way back, please photograph and send to me please!).

You have to be kidding me
