Veggie hip hop artists...

My growing fascination with hip hop artist Sage Francis (whom i just got introduced to within the last couple of months), made me realize that there is more than a few Veggie hip hop artists out there. I thought i would spread the word about a few of them.

Sage Francis. Sage @ Myspace


Masta Killah - Wu-Tang Klan. Wu-Tang @ Myspace
Also RZA, Ghostface Killah and Raekwon of Wu-tang Klang are vegetarians.

The rest of Dead Prez are also Vegan. OBS- Dead Prez are playing at Kultur mejeriet in Lund, Sweden the 12th of February. 170dkr/23euro entrance, still tickets left.

Well besides Andre "3000" Benjamin of Outkast, whom i couldn't find video with, these we're the ones that i could find without too much trouble. I must say i had no clue Wu-Tang being veggies.... Oh well.... You learn something every day apparently.

The Iphone slayer



There it was, that tiny unexpected thing that made apple shake their panties (and probably gotten them working overtime)..... Yup, This years CES (consumer electronics show) in Las Vegas was all about Palm and them getting back their fair share, of what once was their game aswell. without further ado. This is Multitaskin', cardthrowin' (explained in video), ever so neat and oh so cute- Palm Pre and it's built from scratch WebOs user interface.

walk thru-


walk thru-

(including danish band The Fashion amongst the albums playing.)

The videos say it all. Unlike every other phone set to try and compete with the iphone, you can look up the Palm Pre on youtube, every video of it's performance being truthfully fast, smooth and simply impeccable in every single hands on.

Hardware wise we're looking at a 3.1" capacitive touchscreen on top of an 800mhz Texas Instruments processor. It carries Bluetooth, Wifi (b/g), 8gb storage, 3.5mm jackplug and last but not least wireless charging thru the touchstone accessory.

The Touchstone charging dock-



Wauv.... definently gonna write more about this wonder....... soon...

The Hp/Vivienne Tam mini notebook



Already back in September HP announced a couple of upcoming new cheaper surprises to their lineup of mini notebooks. Amongst them the HP 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition, a delicate little 10.2" piece of kit, worthy of atleast a handful of pretty words. Available now in the U.S for a base price of 699,99$ (500euro/3700dkr), it sofar includes a 1.6ghz Intel Atom processor, 60gb HD/16gb SSD, 1GB ram, 10.2" WSVGA LED Brightview Infinity Display (1024 x 600), Wireless-G Card with Bluetooth, 92% sized keyboard, Webcam etc. all running under Windows XP. The general HP 1000 line up mini notebooks is expected to reach Scandinavia by march/april, if were lucky that might include the Vivienne Tam choice (if its even worthy of market over here, since only a select few knows who Vivienne Tam is). Anywaaa...... Its tiny, its pretty (without being lame) and its pricewise just on the brink of what one should pay for an HP product.

If youre really curious how it looks in real life, check out one of the first hands on. Right here over at Geardiary.
