MIXA is neat new website which will give retro lovers a chance to design a cassette tape and actually use it thanks to the fact that it is an USB cassette and has 1GB of memory. The steps are pretty simple and for 20 quid you can’t go wrong… unless you have no design skills in which case you can use one of the pre-loaded designs. [via Retro to go]

You have probably thrown out all your audio tapes and thought that was the last you saw of those ugly things… Ugly? Not a chance because audio cassette tapes are making a comeback. However you wont be using them to play your music but instead they will be there to add some style. First we had the cassete tape wallets and we have the soon to be released J-me audio tape tape dispenser which shouts vintage style. Although I was hoping the tape would come out from the other side where the tape reel usually runs, it does not take away from the fact that this quite a clever use of the audio tape mechanics.
