Bebel Gilberto is (or, was) Starbuck's song of the day

I have this album, but I haven't listened to it enough to form a strong opinion about it either way. I didn't think her last album was as good as the first, but that's probably because she didn't have the famed producer Cazuza as a collaborator.

Between Bebel and Ceu, someone at Starbucks seems to be really into Brazilian music.

Speaking of Ceu, she's coming to San Francisco on Nov. 3, which happens to be Andrea's and my first wedding anniversary. So we're going to the show. With the baby coming along, it'll probably be our last concert for a while.

Very cool.

Another glowing review of the 2710p

An excerpt from tablet enthusiast site jkOnTheRun:

This new model is a design marvel that rekindles the love of using a Tablet PC, and that's why I bought one.

. . .

It is not only a great Tablet PC but also a stellar thin and light notebook computer, something that other OEMs have attempted to do but none as successfully as this in my book.  The hardware components are a decent compromise for providing great battery life while still providing very good performance, even under the resource hog that is Vista.  HP has done a good job making sure that the entire package works as flawlessly with Vista as anything I have seen yet.  The thin and light design is stellar at providing a great OOBE and daily usage.
