Chicago Transit Espresso.

Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is toying with the ideas of having the limited hour coffee services on some of its “L” platform stops. Starbucks and Intelligentsia were mentioned as the potential vendors in the local WBBM News Radio segment.

Starbucks Sirena – BMW Designed Espresso Machine.

The Bottom Is In!

The greenback is so unloved even the supermodel Gisele Bundchen demands to get paid in any currency other than our dollars.

Kimi, The Iceman!

I hope some of you watched the race because it was a great race. An exciting race! Well, it all depends who you were cheering for. The driver standing going to the race was Lewis Hamilton (107), Fernando Alonso (103), and Kimi Räikkönen (100).

The point leader, Lewis made a couple of rookie mistakes in the early part of the race and took himself out of the championship contention. Alonso didn’t have the speed to keep up with the Ferrari duo, who took charge from the green flag to the checker.

At the end, Ferrari pilot Massa made way for his teammate Kimi to take the checker and the 10 much needed championship points to top both Lewis and Alonso and becoming the 2007 World champion. A long shot before the race. Now a winner!

2007 F1 World Champion

02 Lewis Hamilton 109
03 Fernando Alonso 109

2nd = 8 points
3rd = 6 points
4th = 5 points
5th = 4 points
6th = 3 points
7th = 2 points
8th = 1 point.

Here is clip where Lewis tried to retake his position from teammate Alonso at turn 4 and failed on the opening lap. Also a spectacular crash between Yamamoto and Fisichella.

It lets me surf the net, internet calling my friends, and it plays my music and video files. How cool is that? This model is on sale right now to make way for the newer version N810, that has built-in GPS and a slide open keyboard for MSRP US$479.00.

I got my N800 for US$239.oo from Buy.com.
