Tech Report: Modern Summer Boom Box

[dropcap2]H[/dropcap2]ello, Summer! Long days that creep into nights, filling our memories with adventures that are just begging for a soundtrack. We all have those iconic songs that remind us of that crazy summer when we __________-ed all summer long, and all that is left is the memory. All you need to unlock that memory is a needle drop of that summer beat and your adult self is instantly transported to that (likely adolescent) summer, through the only means of time travel we currently have: music.

Fret not, you can still pump that soundtrack of your life even if the bass-bumpers that took eight D batteries are no longer en vogue. The 21st century has given us sleeker versions of the retro boom box that can support bluetooth streaming from your music-filled phone, 3mm headphone jacks to ferry tunes from your favorite mp3 music source or will stream straight from your favorite music app.

We hope the longer days will encourage us all to kick back at least a little bit each day this summer. Take your morning coffee and your laptop onto your porch and enjoy the beautiful weather in the hushed moment before the city wakes up and before the busy day begins. Cheers to summer!
