Go Green for St. Patrick’s Day with iPod Bands
Do you know the origins of your favorite holiday? Assuming your favorite holiday is, in fact, St. Patrick’s Day, here’s a quick history lesson:
“The day is generally characterized by the attendance of church services, wearing of green attire and the lifting of Lenten restrictions on eating, and drinking alcohol which is often proscribed during the rest of the season.”
“Saint Patrick's Day is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Newfoundland and Labrador and in Montserrat. It is also widely celebrated by the Irish diaspora, especially in places such as Great Britain, Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand, among others. Today, St. Patrick's Day is probably the most widely celebrated saint's day in the world.” (via Wikipedia)
Now that you are reacquainted with the origin of this festive saint’s holiday, it’s time to get busy coordinating your celebratory green outfit to match your green beer!
Festive iPod Bands in our “Go Green Guide”
The Q Collection features soft touch silicone iPod bands (comfortable enough for dancing and “cheers’ing”). This vibrant green iPod nano watch band is perfect for showing your St. Patrick’s day spirit!
For those of you who want to keep it professional (whilst avoiding getting pinched!), strap on the Timepiece Collection in green. This faux crocodile patterned leather nano band could be mistaken for a shamrock or clover wrapped around your wrist!
Don’t forget that you can take it one step further in getting into the spirit of things by changing your nano clock face to the green one (it’ll match your green iPod band!)
We hope everyone enjoys their St. Patrick’s Day, and our ‘Go Green Guide’ helps you... Read more…
Music on the Wrist & in the Heart (of Austin) : South by Southwest® (SXSW®)
Feelin’ the ‘discovery’ itch? Then we hope you’re in Austin right now for the South by Southwest Festival. “The South by Southwest® (SXSW®) Conferences & Festivals offer the unique convergence of original music, independent films, and emerging technologies. Fostering creative and professional growth alike, SXSW is the premier destination for discovery.”
Chances are, if you own an iPod nano, or better yet, rock an iPod nano watch – you have a strong appreciation for music. What’s great about today, for music lovers, is that March 13th kicks off SXSW Music which “showcases roughly 2,000 musical acts from around the globe, representing well over 50 different countries, on over 90 stages in downtown Austin.”
Yea, we wish we were there too!
In the words of Bob Geldof, “Music by definition is the only means of expression of the delirium of life, the only sole expression I can imagine that goes to the joy of existence, of being human.”
Strapping your nano to an iPod band is the first step in expressing your need for, and love for, music. Rocking out at SXSW® is another.
Care to indulge? Check out ‘SXSW: The World Comes to Austin’ video preview below:
SXSW®… “It celebrates simply being a musician, or a fan, or a follower. This place, South by Southwest.”

iPod Watch Bands Featured in Marc Saltzman’s “Tech Toy Buys For Valentine’s Day” Guide
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and tech expert Marc Saltzman recommends picking up an iPod watch band for your special someone.
Read up on Marc’s ‘Tech Toy’ advice below:
“It's all in the wrist: If you're buying for an iPod nano owner (6th generation), the Q Collection (from $24.95) turns the square-shaped portable media player into a wristwatch. In fact, this iPod has 18 different watch faces to choose from, ranging from analog and digital options to Disney and The Muppets characters. This accessory is also perfect for those who'd like to exercise while listening to their music (with album artwork), hands-free, plus there's also a built-in pedometer, FM radio, stopwatch and support for podcasts.”
If your sweetheart is an exercise-junkie, we’d absolutely suggest our classic Q Collection iPod nano watch bands. Great for the gym, with several vibrant colors to choose from! The Q, just as with all of our nano watch Collections, is a snap to use.
Marc also points out the ease of use in his Moneyville article stating, “To use, simply press the back of the nano to open up its money clip-like hinge, slide it into the band and you'll hear a click to confirm it's locked and loaded.”
Happy Valentine’s Day Fans!
