The party was after dinner time, so I did not need any large entrees, and there were 11 women in attendance. I stuck to dips and desserts with only one hot finger food item. I prepared the cheesecake the night before and everything else I did the day of, including the sugar cookie dough. Here’s the final list:
- Jalapeno Poppers
- Chocolate Wrapped Croissants
- Plain Pita Chips
- Pesto Pita Chips
- Cucumber Dip
- Sugar Cookies
- Plain New York Style Cheesecake
- Vegetable tray
- Assorted berries
- Bruschetta (made by Emily)
- Hummus (made by Holly)
- Mexican Dip (made by Melissa)

I am a t-mobile subscriber so I will detail their picture-message album service, though I am pretty sure every provider offers this service.
t-mobilepictures.com is a free service to all t-mobile subscribers allowing you to send any picture message to the phone number 222, which will then be automatically uploaded to your account on t-mobilepictures.com.
It does take a one-time set up of just going to the website, putting in your phone number and t-mobile password. There, you now have a pictures account. Done. Now just send a photo to 222 and you’ll see it automatically appear on your account page.
There are privacy settings you can adjust to choose whether to have your pictures private, password protected, or public.
Also, there is a journal feature too. You can use this by sending a picture or text message to 2222 and then the message will be automatically uploaded to your journal (which can have separate privacy settings than the photos). I use this to remember notes, quotes or phone numbers if I am away from a computer.
I find the photo album and journal to be extremely useful. It’s nice to be able to have instant web access to things that are just on your phone. There are also many times I “clean up” my messages inbox while forgetting to lock or save a certain message. And quite often I want to show someone a picture that is stuck on my phone.

This cybernetnews article outlines a few key features of Opera 9.5 in their Alpha release. Of course, there have been numerous bug fixes as well.
The features listed in the article are:
- Opening the page in a new browser through the context menu (without a hack!)
- Restoring windows through the trashcan (instead of just tabs)
- Syncronizing bookmarks through myopera (see ya later del.icio.us)
- Full history search through the url!
All of which just add to the efficientness of the Opera web browser, along with a speed rendering increase which keeps Opera very very speedy!
