"Palm One has linked a deal with luxury car maker Audi to enable automatic Bluetooth paring between the Treo 650 and Audi cars. The car will automatically become your hands-free device. Treo 650 will ship next month."

Graphically speaking, who has the better poster? 2004 Election: Don't get to comfortable, it's happening, again.

iamstatic is definitely worth a visit, along with the bearskinrug sketchbook.

And, just in case you were wondering... they have it covered.

For further illumination on the subject of geek fashion, be sure to catch amadeo decada. They have numerous cute tees, along with a pretty innovative way to display their catalog.

I always find it interesting how Speak Up is so on point. Every time I visit the site I am inspired to further the discussion among friends and colleagues. Conversation is such a great thing. For all of you designers who just so happen to like to ski, this adventure might be just what you were looking for.

Recent coffee news: And if it's not already bad enough that I am addicted to Iced Mochas, now you'll be able to burn your own custom CD while you sip on your cup of joe.

On the topic of design, The New York Post has a detailed design case study on Target's new prescription bottle by Deborah Adler, a 29-year-old graphic designer whose ClearRx prescription-packaging system debuts May.

I think it takes someone in the communication design industry to really appreciate this site, The International Database of Corporate Commands.

And a good find, even though it's from 03— Time For Change by Clement Mok. Another good find, and a good laugh over at The Blacklist, 10 Tips to a Prosperous Client/Designer Relationship. Although if asked, I would admit that 'I am Jack' did it better (www.iamjack.com- which I think is no longer up). In my opinion 'Ode to the Client' is right on the money.

If you found The Tipping Point to be a good read, you might be interested in Freakonomics, written by Steven D. Levitt and Stephan J. Dubner. Puts an interesting spin on things.

President Bush has an iPod? I wonder what's on it. iPod One, as it is dubbed... has no black artists, no gay artists, no world music, only one woman, and no genre less than 25 years old— not even The Beatles. Looks like this "mirror to the soul" is reflecting in a silo.

Meanwhile, I am anticipating the release of Backpack so that I can finally send reminders to myself through mobile devices. It seems as of late, people are finally getting with the program and creating apps that people actually want to use. (Be careful, competition is on it's way...And others are stumbling onto new uses for apps that weren't even considered... Take this guy for example, who combined the newly released Google Maps with craigslist listings. Beautiful. Not that I'm counting, but there's 16 days until I can have Tiger- as if I haven't been chomping at the bit for months. Oh, the marketing ploys we endure...

Speaking of marketing, there's a forward thinking article by Steve Rubel on Tagvertising that is a future opportunity for companies wanting to jump ahead of the competition. And as if one could not say it enough, much like the MTV bling bling short - people are finally realizing the over- and mis-use of the word Brand. It's a buzzword that I don't appreciate ignorami using, and usually get a slight twitch when I hear it at Starbucks.

For all you print designers, Sheriar Press has put together a PDF of standard folding diagrams, good as a reference for measurement (especially for beginners) but not quite as quick as the templates on Designer's Toolbox.

Side Note: If you're between naps at work and you'd like your mind messes with slightly, visit setaki for an interesting take on a catalog site.

Okay, so I've been putting it off. And putting it off some more. I must visit 30 blogs on a daily basis (thank gawd for tabbed browsing)- yet didn't have one myself. So here we go...

Let me just start by saying that these guys are onto something. The interaction transitions remind me slightly of the Intentionallies site, but as a search tool for tag—it's out of control. As if people weren't already into Flickr.

And more from the proverbial blogosphere, a recent problogger interview with Paul Scrivens talks about making major mulaah with your blog- I think he mentions that his best month was a little over $10,000. If this interests you, check out Workboxers and sign up for the 9rules network.
