Eleven years ago today, the Apple iPod was introduced. If Odenton had a playlist, what would it contain?
Did you know that Oct. 23 was iPod day? Apparently, Apple introduced the first iPod music device on that day in 2001. And now millions of Americans use the device to listen to their music each day. We all have favorite playlists. Mine contains an unhealthy amount of pop music from the 1980s, plus some kids songs mixed in. (Depeche Mode and Old McDonald make for an interesting mix.) If the town of Odenton were to create its own playlist, what would it look like? Here are a few suggestions. The Bangles - Manic Monday — A special ode to the thousands that hop on the MARC train to Washington each morning. Kenny Rogers - The Gambler — Whistle this one while playing the slots at Maryland Live! Rockwell - Somebody's Watching Me — We're just a…

Odenton-based M-Edge just wants to prove how effective their protective iPhone cases are.
Everyone's heart skips a beat when their expensive smartphone drops to the ground. We have brief visions of the phone scattering to a million pieces or, at the very least, refusing to act normally after a tumble to the sidewalk. But one local company is so confident in the sturdiness of their new line of Apple iPhone covers that they've taken to chucking iPhones across parking lots. Odenton-based M-Edge recently announced a new line of "Supershell" cases for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. They're foam cases in a variety of colors, and they are designed to withstand even the most careless operator. Watch the YouTube video to see M-Edge employees chuck some iPhone across the parking lot of the company headquarters in Odenton. I don't know what …
