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.

Hey Kids, Roll Your Very Own Cartman! Yes, It's the South Park Character Generator!
We stumbled across this amusing Web site (under a German domain, no less) called the South Park Studio Character Generator. It's truly amazing just how much character variety can be created using this mix-and-match palette-based tool. As they say, the possibilities are endless. (Well, actually, mathematically speaking, they're not endless, but rather, philosophically speaking, "seemingly" endless.) ANYWAY. Putting together an actual South Park character with the online Generator -- an actual Kenny or Chef, say -- is a lot harder that it looks. But the Generator isn't about re-creating South Park's "real" cartoon cast. This is about you creating your own original South Parker. That's what makes this so cool, but, really, you've gotta see it for yourself to believe it. Check it out here. Think of it: some enterprising and creative soul out there among you could use this to create a whole new set of characters, dump the art into Macromedia Flash and develop an animated alternative Bizarro-world South Park doppelganger, then publish it on the Internet. OK, we've sown the seed. Now get to it, kids!
