10 Star Wars Features for the Motorola Droid

Here's a playful look from PC Magazine on how to make Verizon's new Android handset the best phone in the galaxy. Click here or on the image to read the whole article. I liked the ideas of the "Pocket Chewbacca" combination GPS navigator/laser crossbow and the "Holographic Video Calling."


May the Force be with you!

Arrr Matey! It be International Talk Like A Pirate Day an' here be some treasure fer ye!



My pirate name is:


Calico Charity Bonney



Often indecisive, you can't even choose a favorite color. You're apt to follow wherever the wind blows you, just like Calico Jack Rackham, your namesake. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

Going to Dinner and the Theater

We're going to experience Goran Bregovic and His Wedding and Funeral Orchestra tonight with our Montenegrin friends.

"Roots in the Balkans where he stems from, head in the 21st Century which he fully inhabits, Goran Bregovic's music marries sounds of a gypsy brass band with traditional Bulgarian polyphonies, those of an electric guitar and traditional percussion with a curious rock accent all against a background of a bedeviled string orchestra and deep sonorities of a male choir, creating music that our soul recognizes instinctively and the body greets with an irresistible urge to dance."

According to our friends, he rocks the house and there will be dancing in the aisles!

Before that, we're going to spend some time at Pike Place Market and have a lovely seafood dinner down there.

Best of all - it's a sunny, Seattle day today!
