Box from the past

At year end, we were cleaning up our storage at the office and rediscovered a packaging box from 2001.

Original iPod packaging

The iPod is safely stored on the shelf and still functioning. The box was stashed away more than 20 years ago.

The iPod changed consumer electronics landscape and was responsible in making Apple as the brand in consumer electronics. Just within a short 6 years after the release of original iPod, Apple released their most popular ever, iPhone.

Steel Panther: “1987” the Song, the Video, and the Pedal.

Steel Panther premieres video of “1987” song from the upcoming album “On The Prowl”.


I would talk to you about the “1987” guitar, but it was $5,150 (pre discount) and already sold out. You can order its mini replica direct from Steel Panther.

I did get the “1987” Pedal and it was one of the first batch in the production.

I went to the office earlier today and saw a package from Steve Vai Official Merchandise Store. It is the “Passion & Warfare” blue Vinyls signed by Steve Vai.

It was and is still one of my favorite records. Buying this record direct is a way to support the artist.

Earlier today I visited John Livzey, who was the go-to photographer of the late and great Frank Zappa. We talked about some of the photos he took including Frank Zappa, Randy Rhoads, and Eddie Van Halen.

Livzey told me some brilliant moments of Steve Vai working with Frank Zappa. He showed me a few photos from Vai sessions. One of the photos can be viewed at Livzey website.
