Sony Ericsson R306 Radio Coffee Black
| This is the ultimate international cell phone for people who want to be connected to the music they love. No other cell phone emphasizes A.M. and F.M. radio like this unlocked cell phone does. In fact if someone simply found this unlocked Sony Ericsson R306 lying on a table, they might mistake it for a fully featured radio. In general, radio reception on mobile phones tends to be a mixed, static-strewn affair. Adding AM to the mix makes things even fuzzier. We tested the radio by putting the phone in a pocket and walking around the Sydney CBD. Predictably, when we ventured into areas with densely-packed skyscrapers, static swiftly took over. Reception was better in open areas such as parks, but some stations still suffered from intermittent buzzing. |

Art imitates life
Well I now know I have been going to Bauhaus coffee & Books for way too long. So long that I am now immortalized there!
I was sitting at my usual table and doing my usual routine of enjoying my afternoon coffee while reading and going online, but this weekend there was a man painting there also. He sat quietly as he painted on his canvas. I didn't see exactly what he was painting because I didn't want to disturb him. Well, about 2 hrs. after I had sat down he comes up to me and says "I hope you don't mind, but I put you in my painting." I was both pleasantly surprised and touched! I asked if I could take a picture of it and he gladly agreed. He said he always told a person he painted that they were in a piece. I don't know who the girl was, and she wasn't there the day I was. What I'm most impressed with is how well he got the likeness of me. He said he doesn't paint people too much and was sorry for making me look a little "fat". We both laughed and I said, "No, actually I am on my well on my way to having a Buddha belly!"
The painting will be for sale and on display at his gallery in downtown also. If I had the money, I'd buy it!

Desert Island Discs
My friend and I got into a lengthy discussion on this last night, so I'll pose the Q: to you Mindsayers n see what you come up with.
Here's the deal. Tomorrow you are going to spend an entire year on a desert island alone. All food and drink will be provided as well as a home. You can bring whatever a large suitcase can fit, BUT you can only bring 8 CD's of music (we thought 5 is too hard and 10 is too easy)...and that will be all you can listen to for the entire year on the island. To make it even more challenging, I am also adding the rule that no 'Best of' compilations are allowed either! :) Now, let the selection process begin!
Here are my choices to give you some possible ideas:
1. Sade - Lovers Rock (my all time fave singer and I feel her best record)
2. Pink Martini - Sympathique (For my lounge moods)
3. Nirvana - Never mind ( cuz I'll miss Seattle and need to rock out now n then! )
4. Corrine Bailey Rae - Corrine Bailey Rae ( One of the few records that I love every song )
5. RUN DMC - Raising Hell (My Adidas, It's Tricky...nuff said.)
6. Saturday Night Fever - Soundtrack (I will bust a disco move if no ones watching..oh yes, I will!)
7. Beatles - Abbey Road ( I'm just too much of a fan to go w/o)
8. Portished - Dummy ( I will need this for all those cold, lonely and dark times I'll have)

Starbucks To Test New Name, Booze Sales
Some people like a bit more than caffeine in their cups, and Starbucks is listening.
The coffee retailer will open a new neighborhood cafe pilot store in Seattle that will offer beer and wine as well as coffee and tea. The new store, which will be called "15th Avenue Coffee and Tea inspired by Starbucks," will also have night-time hours and live entertainment.
Starbucks' current stores do not offer alcoholic beverages -- just lots of java, tea and food.

As Foster noted, "You're dealt a certain hand. How you play that hand as a leader determines your success."
