Casual Review:
Cool little device. However a 7 inch screen is pretty small. It's hard to appreciate how small that really is until you're perched over one, squinting away with your fingers all bunched up trying to use the equally small keyboard.
Windows CE is not like a small version of XP... it's another beast altogether that was designed for "embedded" applications and things like smart phones and pocket PC's. It is NOT the same as using your work or home PC.
I don't believe that you can browse/use sites that are heavy with Flash technology (videos and games on sites like youtube, facebook or Flash game sites.)
I don't think you can upgrade the browser or install anything normal either. It seems like more of a hobby device to mess with for fun versus something that can be used for regular computing.
In general, if you're looking at netbooks, the other potential deal breaker is the OS. Many of them have Linux installed, but they also have issues with flash and can't run other windows apps that you may take for granted.
How to post to your Blogger blogs with your Blackberry:
Log in to your Blogger Profile, then click the Settings tab, and then Email & Mobile.
On the screen in "Posting Options" you will see a mail to blog email address in this format:
name.blank@blogger.com.
You will use your username first, and then instead of blank you will use a secret word that you will not share with anyone... right? You don't want someone else to be able to post to your blog!
The other option is to choose whether you will want your posts to be published right away, or saved as drafts for you to edit and publish later online.
Save your settings.
Now, whenever you send an email from your BlackBerry device to the email address that you personalized above it will either be posted right away to your blog, or saved for editing (depending upon which you chose)
Hint: if you don't want the "sent from my blackberry device" tagline to appear after each post you send, go into your email options on the Blackberry and remove it or replace it with somethingbetter

This is a REALLY interesting article from Time Magazine:
First Comes Love, Then Comes Obesity?
The best/worst part of the article:
"...the study notes that unmarried women who have been living with their sweeties for five years or less run a 63% increased risk of obesity. What about unmarried men? On average, they have no increased risk during cohabitation.
"With women, we saw incremental risk after one year," says Penny Gordon-Larsen, one of the two nutrition epidemiologists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) who conducted the study. "The longer she lived with a romantic partner, the more likely she was to keep putting on weight." Meanwhile, the risk of obesity among guys — married and unmarried — spikes only between the first and second years of living together."
