Berry
Phone
We remember Black Berry when it was a popular
beeper-size, mine-keyboard-equipped pager that allowed
users to send and receive e-mail wirelessly almost anywhere.
Two years ago, it grew a bigger screen for Web browsing
and appointment booking. Now, the Black Berry PDA 5810
has sprouted a cell phone. It’s all grown up. |
Drinkin’
Buddy
At last, a personal digital assistant that’s
worth bending an elbow for. The BarMaster, from Excalibur
Electronics, is a chic, flask shaped gizmo that lets wired
boozehounds search for the perfect drink by name, ingredient
and even glass type. It also knows a few drinking games.
Cheesy pickup lines not included. |
Neat
footed
A running shoe that does the running for you?
The a3 (that’s A cubed), from Adidas, comes close.
Conventional shoes protect feet with extra cushioning
that reduces shock at the point of impact. Adidas say
the a3’s innovative design and space age materials
also position feet for better performance. Can’t
wait for the a4. |

| Best known
for her sultry image as a pop superstar, Britney
Spears actually began her youthful career as an
actress-- the singing came later. Spears was born
December 2, 1981 in Kentwood, Louisiana. A mere
eight years later, she was auditioning for the Mickey
Mouse Club, although she wouldn't be added to the
cast for another three years. She spent summers
schooling at New York's Off-Broadway Dance Center
and The Professional Performing Arts School, and
earned a role on the off-Broadway play Ruthless
in 1991. A year later, she became a Mouseketeer,
and was part of the show from the time she was 11
until she was 13. |

Not
many people can boast that they were expelled from
elementary school only to later find a career that
would provide a seven-figure salary, but Nicolas
Cage is one of the few so anointed. The nephew of
filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, Cagechanged
his name so that his acting career would not
be chalked
up to
nepotism. |
|
He chose "Cage" out of admiration for
avant-garde musician John Cage. Even if he had retained
the family name, it's not likely that anyone would
consider Cage a slacker, holding fast to his uncle's
coattails. Stories abound concerning the extremes
to which he will go to "feel" his roles,
not the least of which was the time he had a tooth
extracted without novocaine in order to fully appreciate
the pain suffered by the wounded soldier he played
in the 1989 film Birdy. |
