"Hey man, can you hear me? Got a new cell phone -- it's a Treo, man! That's right, a Treo. Yeah, the Palm Treo 650 and it's aaaawesome ... uh ... hello, can you hear me? Hello? Hello ... Shit!"

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.

Attention Wannabe Mash-up DJs: There's a Goldmine of TV Theme Song MP3s!

Check out this index page listing a bunch of MP3s of mostly 1980's TV show theme songs -- everything from Knight Rider to Airwolf is here. We like the Knight Rider theme esepcially. Even though Puff Daddy ... er, P. Diddy ... er, Diddy sampled the theme in one of his mid-nineties mainstream hip-hop mega singles, we still shiver with a frightening degree of nostalgia that defies intellect.

Looking back, it's unbelieveable that Knight Rider -- a show with a concept truly retarded -- could ever have been greenlit by a major network, but there was probably a cadre of TV execs to felt the show's premise and stars (Baywatch's David Hasselhoff and an IA-enhanced sportscar with a HAL-like voice called "KIT") would play well in the fly-over states (though they probably didn't use the phrase "fly-over states" back then).
