123 It’s Sunday, the sun is shining, there is a cool breeze and I’m “gonna” build an Empire!  Yup, it is a day to relax and spend some time away from finding stories and play!  So I’m heading out to the deck with my 8525, PSP and Sony UX380N.

First, I’m gonna build an Empire!  Astraware’s Tradewinds is a GREAT game that can surprisingly consume a day as you attempt to build your empire through swashbuckling sea combat and trade!

With Tradewinds, you can:

  • Choose from 4 different characters to play
  • Travel to Far Eastern ports and buy goods
  • Plan your trading strategy but don’t get caught with contraband
  • Increase your fleet to battle the pirates and protect your goods
  • Amass enough gold to retire — HEY, I’m already retired!

Well, OK, I won’t spend the entire day building my Empire!  I am going to spend some serious time with my PSP and get back into some racing with Need for Speed – Most Wanted!  It has always been an “adrenaline rush” game for me.  I started playing it again last night and decided I needed to do it today.

And I just might take a break, have a couple of “cold ones” and watch a movie that I just added to my memory card last night…

And of course, I will be checking the “net” throughout the day with a new toy, a Sony US380N that I was fortunate to get to use for a while.  It is very cool, impressively responsive and definitely defining for me a new way that I look at Experiencing Mobility.

So what are you doing today?
