Blackberry
A buddy of mine got the Blackberry. This thing does all those cool things that phones were meant to do in the first place. You can surf the net, check all kins of email, play games, run real software, monitor your corporate network, check stocks, IM, control your home PC, It even makes phone calls. It looks snazzy too. It is only $450 or so for the unit, and $50 or so a month. I could sacrifice, oh, food. That might be enough to afford it.

Witness to Disaster
One interview said "it was like a movie." Another said only "Why?" Others franticly search for loved ones. There was an account from a man who was holding his child in hs hands and running when the wave hit. When it was over, he only had a hand full of cloths.

Witnesses described a series of about five waves -- with the second being the most powerful, ripping along the coast. "After the first wave, there was almost like a sucking sound and the water almost disappeared from the bay," said German tourist Kartsen Otte, who was about to board a small boat to go diving. "Then it rushed back. It came so quickly it was incredible. It just kept getting higher and higher," said his business partner and fellow traveler Alexander Braun. "We ran up the steps of this nearby building onto the roof. It blew the first floors away of everything around." Reuters

The death toll in a tsunami that slammed into coasts from India to Indonesia topped 21,000 on Monday as rescuers scoured the sea for missing tourists and soldiers raced to recover bodies amid growing fears of disease. Sri Lankan military spokesman Daya Ratnayaka said 10,029 people had been killed in Sri Lanka alone. The addition of more than 5,000 dead in the Indian Ocean island nation brought the total number of people reported dead from the waves unleashed from the world's biggest earthquake in 40 years to 21,559, with some 5,200 injured Reuters
