Al Sacco and myself were talking about the newly released 8520. This discussion inspired both of us to write about the new Curve that offers something a little different that has never been seen before. It is the first BlackBerry device that uses a "touch pad" rather than the track ball.

I know it's not normally my topic to write about, but today I'm going to chat a little bit about fashion.  Being a part of the music industry, one can’t help but get tangled up in the fashion industry.  Musicians (all celebrities for that matter) are the fashion industry's walking bill boards.  Whether on the red carpet at an awards show or just a simple trip to the grocery store, musicians are always being watched.  In the 80's, hair bands were the reason it was ok to run over your jeans with your dad's new lawn mower.  In the 90's, Nirvana's Kurt Cobain was single-handedly responsible for a trend that swept the nation - "hobo chic".  He made it cool to look like you really didn't give a damn when you got dressed that morning.  You would just reach into your clothes hamper and grab what ever smelled the least.  It doesn't matter the genre, what ever your taste is in music, your favorite musicians are rockin' a look that you are probably following (even if you don’t realize it!).

6:15am and I'm up from alarm!!! I shut snooze off so I can just get up and start my day. I shut off the alarm and look at my main screen to see the amount of emails, sms's and other messages I have to check.  So before I check all of my messages, I check Viigo, while making my pot of coffee.
