PodSigns: Hearing Reloaded

podsigns.jpg

The iPod puts 15,000 songs in your pocket and two earbuds in your ears. So much for easy listening.

Because iPod users are often hard to reach, Lot 49 is introducing PodSigns, a set of printable handouts to help communicate with the iPod-impaired.

Save social interaction before it's too late. Just download the PodSign file, print, and trim. Make yourself heard.

FAQs

What are PodSigns?

They're cue cards for the clueless.

Why bother?

Most Americans believe that people are ruder today than they were decades ago, according to poll released last October by AP-Ipsos. ABC News blames, in part, "self-absorbed communication gadgets and a demand for instant gratification." (Given its size, the PodSign file is available almost immediately over a broadband Internet connection.)

How do I use PodSigns?

Download the PodSign PDF file, print it (preferrably on a color printer), separate the PodSigns along the lines, then distribute as needed. There's also a version of the PodSign file with dotted lines for easier cutting.

Is that it?

For the time being. If there's demand, there may be more.

Why do you hate the iPod?

I love the iPod. It's people I just can't stand.

Really?

No. Try not to read too much into this.

Did you design the PodSigns yourself?

No. I had help from the talented Brady Clark.
