TECH GEAR
Mobile Devices We Like:
T-Mobile Sidekick and Sidekick II
Easy to use, unbusinesslike and not too techy-looking, we like the Sidekick 'cause it's easy on the thumbs for typing and is probably the most comfortable cell phone and text-messaging device in terms of keyboard size and design.
Palm Treo 650
The treo 650 is to the Sidekick what Prada dress shoes are to Adidas sneakers. Despite that analogy, the Treo will not win points for style compared to many cell phones, though the Treo is well-designed and nice on the eyes. The Treo is a so-called Smartphone and runs an OS for its Palm PDA functionality. Part phone, part PDA and part e-mail and Internet-enabled handheld computer, the 650 comes in slightly different versions for Cingular, Verizon, and Sprint. The best part of the 650 is its keyboard and high-resolution color screen.

Johnny Ramone, Guitarist, The Ramones, R.I.P.
Johnny Ramone was always our favorite Ramone, our "classic" Ramone with the quintessential Ramones' style. That he is the third Ramone in nearly as many years to pass away (and the second from cancer) is a bit stunning. In 2002, Dee Dee Ramone died of a drug overdose in Los Angeles. The previous year frontman Joey Ramone died of lymphoma.
Johnny's departure comes at a time when the influential New York band has been more widely celebrated as one of the earliest rock acts to play what would eventually be called punk rock. A recent documentary about the group was released only weeks before Johnny's death. The film, "End of the Century," has won much praise from the critics and is currently playing in movie theaters around the country.
Johnny Ramone, rest in peace.
