For Yoland and Josh: Hello Kitty C1 netbook packs a lotta 'tude into a small package - Engadget
25 seconds ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
"There's been a serious dearth of Hello Kitty-branded products these days, but the dry-spell is thankfully at an end, with the arrival of the Hello Kitty C1. The crazy cat's apparently first-ever netbook is (as you can see in the photo) quite a looker, and it's packing a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU with 1GB DDR2 SDRAM, a 945 GSE Express chipset and a 120GB hard drive. The 10.1-inch netbook's also got two USB ports, a 1.3 megapixel webcam and WiFi. It's going to cost you 890 smackers to make this yours, but the sassiness alone kind of makes it worth it, doesn't it?" - Anika Malone via Bookmarklet

“Watching this R&B special makes me kinda sad that R&B basically sucks right now. Maybe I'm just getting old”
2 hours ago - via Ping.fm - Link
no R&B started sucking around '93 and never looked back. - Anika Malone
I don't know..there have been acts more recentely that weren't garbage. 112 and Jagged Edge come to mind. The singles are usually the most horrible tracks on the album, so you wouldn't know any better unless you actually bothered to listen. - ♫ Rahsheen™
I'd definitely agree that stuff got spotty after 93 or so, though :) - ♫ Rahsheen™
I'll add that it's really R&B *radio* that sucks. it's all about "ratings" and payola (still). they push the same sound, producers, artists. there are plenty of artists making great R&B and Soul music. you just won't hear it on the radio. - jbrotherlove
True, True. I should have been clearer with that. The good music has been dragged underground, almost. Same with rap, but don't tell nobody cuz they get emotional when I say that..lol - ♫ Rahsheen™
I was at a thing last week and they had the radio on in the background. I heard Kanye's Love Lockdown just about every half hour on the hour. Pick out five other songs and artists (I recognized Rihanna, I think) and it was the same story. Sad. - Derrick
It's been time for a new sound for a while. C'mon Rah - innovate! - Friend Feed's Tad
I was driving through Memphis a few weeks ago with my dad and we heard an r&b song by a chick about how she smashed her ex boyfriends windows after they broke up. It was awesome and hilarious. I would listen to more modern r&b if it was honest and funny like that. - Occasional Headbanger
+1 jbrotherlove. If you don't bother the Timbalands and the Pharells or whomever, there's some good stuff that's just not making it on mainstream radio. - Helen Sventitsky
I'm still trying to find my spot, Tad. As you can see by the tracks I have out, I'm all over the place...lol - ♫ Rahsheen™
Well, I wouldn't know what's on the radio, since I refuse to listen to it. I can only speak to what I hear from what my friends like or internet music sites recommend to me. I've been anti-rap in R&B for so long and now it seems to be a standard. The infusion of dancehall into R&B, killing not only great beats, but the careers of some good dancehall artists, in my eyes. The overproduction blows. And the lyrics are so bad that it's like they're singing a porn script. - Anika Malone
I listen to NPR on the road. Works for me. I think I get the bulk of my new music suggestions from friends online, via FF or whatever. - Derrick
Infusion of Dancehall? Like what? - ♫ Rahsheen™
I don't know the names of songs, but about 5 (?) years ago, dancehall artists were showing up more often on R&B singles, running the Diwali riddim into the ground. - Anika Malone
Keep in mind that probably only bugs me and my husband because we listen to so much dancehall. I don't care if Sean Paul does it because he's bleeeech to me, but when good stars like Mr. Vegas or Sizzla do it, it does bug. Like when Beenie Man did that song with Janet Jackson. Erp! - Anika Malone
Yeah, I feel you. - ♫ Rahsheen™
Get thee some Andrew Hamilton & John Legend's new album. It doesn't suck! I haven't been this happy about R&B since "return of the mack" - anna

“Looking 4 snack suggestions for my road trip. When I drove to chicago 1st time I bought cheese sticks, small apples and potato chips. anyone have any creative ideas?”

Make up some trail mix! Sesame sticks, mixed nuts, dried fruit, and possibly granola clumps. My local natural goods store also sells yogurt dipped pretzels in bulk, those would work too. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Chex Mix, for sure. - ::Kristen::
Grapes! Also, granola bars and yogurt-covered raisins. I agree with Tina's suggestion of yogurt-dipped pretzels, too. - Rochelle
peanut butter crackers,animal crackers,cashews are my staple travel foods. - jlt
great ideas & I have not had animal crackers in forever but that would be a good choice when the sugar/crunchy desire kicks in. - Ruth Ferguson
Bring napkins or paper towels. Eating while driving can be messy. :) - Rochelle
Nuts and dried fruits definitely. - Anika Malone
Wasabi peas are good if you start to feel sleepy. - April Russo
really April why are wasabi peas good if sleepy. I have never eaten them. - Ruth Ferguson
Ruth, wasabi peas will burn your sinus cavities into full alert ;) - jlt
andy capps hot fries, pretzels, raisins, apples & fun dip - Cee Bee
Here's what you shouldn't try: lobster, BBQ ribs, fondue, an artichoke, or soup. - Rochelle

“I think it totally sucks that you can't get your Windows Media Player ratings into iTunes -- even when you've told Windows Media Player to write the ratings to the file. Apple and Microsoft could care less about user portability. My ratings are mine. I should be able to have them wherever I want.”

MusicBridge as stopgap http://tinyurl.com/5qxul9 - Sean Alexander
thanks Sean, I'll definitely check that out. It looks like it might do the trick. I finally got all 120,000+ of my music tracks into iTunes and now I'm hoping to be able to create a 5 star list that I can use so that I can only sync my 5 star songs on my iPhone, since I obviously can't get all 120,000 songs on a 16 gig phone. - Thomas Hawk
hmmm.. Music Bridge totally seems to be working. Scratch what I said about Microsoft caring less. :) Really appreciate the pointer Sean. - Thomas Hawk
Think I'll try that myself - Roberto Bonini
Thomas, I'm guessing these are DRM-free since you're moving them from WMP to iTunes. Check Simplify Media to stream any and all to your iPhone. Takes the 16GB factor out of play. - Kevin C. Tofel

How cool. It's all fun and games until he gets the bill for the taxes. - Monique
Well, Monique - he won like $26,000 in cash. I think he oughta be able to use that to pay all the taxes for all those vehicles and the vacation and STILL have a little left over. - Friend Feed's Tad
