Well this is pretty cool. Eco-Geek is reporting that Apple has filed a patent for a solar film that would cover the face of the player. iPods are currently solar powered, but only by connecting them to a large panel using an adapter. Apple’s plans are uncertain since the technology doesn’t exist to run an iPod entirely off solar film, but who knows what it will look like in another couple years?

Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

Bands can now find investors through these websites, building the funding they need to finance their recording, marketing and touring needs.  Fans can contribute to your future success starting at as little as $10.  What an amazing way to help a band you love…at less than the cost of a new CD.

I’m a huge fan of these small-scale fashion trend setters. They are doing it for the right reasons: pure love of style.

If you are a designer or considering launching your design career, contact the Ladies Independent Design League for support! You can also join Catwalk Genius, a website that allows you to sell your clothing AND get financial support from investors who ‘adopt’ you and contribute toward the funding you need to launch your own line.

The more I think about it, the more I like it. No one wants to have to rely on sponsorship for their careers, but the reality is that independent artists need money to get themselves established and recording.

Product advertising can give them a big chunk o’ change and at the same time afford them some control over their image. They can refuse to work with companies that violate their personal ethics, and choose to work with companies that support the same causes and ideals they do.

It’s not a bad deal, overall. After all, if it weren’t for Apple, half of America wouldn’t know who Feist or Yael Naim are, right?

Indie Fixx.

Probably one of the best compilations of independent fashion designers and products anywhere on the internet. It’s one of the few sites I can hardly tear myself away from. It is literally chock full o’ fabulous stuff that I WANT.

She interviews a lot of the designers which is really interesting.  I love reading the stories of how these people get started in their business and how they working toward success.  I have the entrepreneurial spirit myself, so it’s always interesting to me to see how other people are doing it.

She also has great contests, and tons of great links. I find about fifty great things every time I visit, and if you love independent fashion, you’re sure to love it, too.
