serious fix

Last night a friend and I stopped by the Wildflower Cafe for one of the greatest vegan burritos in town. The owner asked us if we were staying for the show and we said, “No.” We were halfway through our burritos when Rachel began to sing and we paid and stayed through her entire set.

Rachel Marie has a very melodic and solid voice. Her songs are original, honest and well written with lyrics that inspire awe as they capture incredible emotions and thoughts making one connect to the music as if it was a fond memory. Her audience interaction is as if she has been a good friend for years and you are all just hanging out and catching up. Her drummer dude rocked on stage, to (he had some laid back energy that added a mighty fine beat to the music … kudos, man). She will be releasing a CD real soon. I will keep you posted.

If you ever see her name be sure to gather your friends and get to her show. You will be quite pleased and leave knowing that their is still amazing talent in this wiley world of ours.

If you want to hear her songs and watch videos of her, check out the Rachel Marie Fan Page over at facebook and become a fan. This chick is mad good.

Finally Verizon catches up and offers a phone that actually works.

This phone runs the Android 2.0 system (and has recently been updated to Android 2.01) and is fast as hell. There are no issues loading apps or trying to get things done (Windows Mobile was a pile of lard; slow and tired was Windows Mobile). I am not getting into specs, though, as I am going to be lazy and tell you to watch this video:

Pros: great display, amazing app market (tons are free and good), loading speeds are incredible, apps, personalization options galore, 16 gb storage space out of box

Cons: flat buttons on keyboard (though you probably will never use the keyboard once you use the on screen keyboard), cramping keyboard angle for right hand (again, you will probably not even use this keyboard)

Interesting Side Note: I also found with this phone at first is that fact that making calls while on the road is not easy at all. I then realized that this may make the road safer as some people like myself will opt to just let it ring whilst driving thus putting your life in less jeopardy.

Seriously, people, I love this phone. Coming from a Treo running Windows Mobile it is so incredible to be able to just do stuff when I need to without rebooting the phone or having to wait for the OS to catch up.
