Adro dhe'n B���s in Peswar Ugans D���dh (Around the World in Eighty Days in Cornish)
$10.95
"I wager twenty thousand pounds that I shall go around the earth in eighty days or less." Thus on an October evening, 1872, Phileas Fogg made a bet with his companions in the London Reform Club. And with that, the English gentleman departed with his servant Passepartout! Many are the dangers which await for them on their road which takes them through India, China, and America... On this extraordinary journey, Jules Verne, the great nineteenth-century visionary writer entrances us with tale full of obstacles and surprises. This is a Cornish language translation of Jules Verne's "Around the World in Eighty Days" (abridged for young readers and learners). The translator, Kaspar Hocking, was born in January 1913 in London, retiring in Polwheveral, Cornwall, in 1969. He has taken an interest in the Cornish language since 1989, and was Chairman of the Cornish language organization Agan Tavas from 1996 to 1998. -- "My a vynn gwystla ugans mil a bunsow my dhe viajya adro dhe'n b���s in peswar ugans d���dh b��� le."

Nokia E71 Unlocked Phone with 3.2 MP Camera, 3G, Media Player, GPS, Wi-Fi, and MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Gray)
$449.99
I was looking for a smart phone with high functionality and flexibility for productivity rather than entertainment. I suppose what I wanted was a device that I could do all that I wanted to do but in a 'cool' way, not so much access to some 'cool' things that I would not really want to do, so I looked around and got the E71 and I am very pleased.

The more time I spend customizing it the more indispensible it becomes (and it has just been 3 weeks). There is also a large online Nokia and Symbian community that help you find a lot of good apps and highlight important functions.

I recommend
-- the eye call app
-- sms preview app
-- nokia messaging client (i am using the free trial at the moment)
-- vlingo (you can send text messages just by speaking to your phone)
-- spending time to create shortcuts and customize buttons
-- using the "search" function (allows you to search everything from google to your sms outbox)

Panasonic ER430K Vacuum Nose/Ear Hair Trimmer, Gray
$29.99
Interesting design and intention but it is the weakest and dullest of the trimmers I have used.
It is truly useless.

Panasonic ES8249K Arc IV Nano Vortex Wet/Dry Rechargeable Shaving System, Black
$299.99
I purchased the blue, non-Vortex cleaning base model of this ARC4 Nanotech shaver (the model 8243A) this past May 2009. It's my third Panasonic shaver. I've tried Brauns, Norelcos, and even a Grundig shaver over the years, but Panasonic seems to be the best - for me at least. I have sensitive skin, so shaving in the shower works best to keep the blades cool and delivers an irritation free, very close shave (try this shaver in combination with a little Billy Jealousy Hydroplane Shaving Cream for a truly close, irritation free shave). I would say an even better shave than the Gillette Fusion because I experience absolutely no minor cuts or irritation when using the Panasonic. (I only use the Gillette when I forget to charge my shaver!)

Like I said, I purchased the blue, non-Vortex model of this shaver this past May, and five months later the LCD began displaying unintelligible readings. Then the shaver just died - it wouldn't turn on. I've never had that sort of problem with my Panasonics in the past, and since it was still well within the 2 year warranty, I contacted Panasonic by phone. I was instructed to ship the shaver to their service center in Texas. About 2 weeks later, I received a new replacement shaver in the mail, and get this, Panasonic sent me a brand spankin' new model ES8249K - the Arc 4 Nanotech shaver with the Vortex cleaning system. I was a little annoyed by the turn around time, but it was obviously worth the wait! The ES8249K shaves exactly the same as the 8243A - it's the same shaver but just can be used in the Vortex cleaning base, whereas the 8243A can't. Thanks Panasonic for your awesome shaving product and awesome customer support! You've got a loyal customer in me, and like Ahhnold in The Terminator, "I'll be baaaack" when it's time to purchase my next shaver! :-)
