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.

Grammy Nominations Announced: Massive Faves Gorillaz, Dangermouse and Kanye West Get Noms
The Grammy Awards nominations were announced Friday and some of our favorite artists were among the nominees. We were especially happy to see (but, admittedly, entirely surprised) by a Best Producer nomination going to Dangermouse, who produced the global hit "Demon Days" album by Gorillaz. Dangermouse first came to the world's attention with this bootleg and very underground mash-up "The Gray Album," a controversial mix of the Beatles classic "White" album with Jay Z's "Black" album. Recently Dangermouse has been getting press props for his collabo with MF Doom, called, appropriately, "Dangerdoom." The Grammy nomination will just increase Dangermouse's profile further. And if he actually wins, well, he'll be a real star, and we'll happily cheer him. That said, the Grammies, for the most part, are a joke. But with noms going to Danger and Gorillaz, that may be changing. Then again, Mariah Carey also got a nomination, so what can you say?
