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.

How to Make Star Wars X-Wing Fighters Out of Paris Metro Tickets
Seriously, some people have way, way, way too much free time on their hands. A French bloke has taken purple Paris Metro tickets, which are small, yet made of a heavy, thick paper stock, and used the tickets to make Star Wars X-Wing Fighters. This page is in French but has lots of photos of the things, which is all you really need to appreciate this droll and unusual kind of ephemeral pop-culture artifact.
