I'm willing. I am totally in love with my Curve.
What would you like to know? Other than that it's the best BlackBerry ever, or at least until the touchscreen (think iPhone) one comes out....
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

unusual question here for y'all. I tried a different cassette adapter for the car (seems I had several of them around). The latest one SOUNDS great, but it keeps ejecting, probably due to no gears that turn, and the deck thinks it's a jammed tape. But it's the only of the 3 that I have that actually SOUNDS good, the others sound as bad as the FM transmitter. Any thoughts that won't damage the car cassette deck? It's a long shot, but the hive mind is brilliant, so why not ask, right?

More unusual question:
My cat just walk across my keyboard, and now my browser is on the fullscreen-- I am missing the toolbars across the top. How can I get it back?

does your stereo automatically switch the tape to the other side? If so, turn off that option, and that might solve your problem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This month is killing me. Snapped the earpiece off of my wireless headset for my cellphone. I had a Jawbone, and it worked passably well (not the magic they predicted, but definitely better than the technology that had gone before). Any recommendations in a similar form factor Bluetooth headset with noise reduction for about $80?

Here's an oddball question for this thread: I need to get some good decible-reducing earplugs. Ones that will lessen the goth club volume levels around me, but not make things so muffled that I will need to take an earplug out to hold a conversation with someone I'm sitting next to. I know I've done damage to my hearing over the years, and since I'm not giving up going out dancing any time soon, I'd like to stave off more damage.
(Drew, I'm especially hoping you'll have some suggestions.)

How much are you willing to spend? Some musician friends of mine had custom earplugs made which required visiting an ear doctor to be fitted. I believe they cost $100-$200, but it was years ago and I can't remember exactly.
I use a pair that are like cones with ridges, that have a metal cylinder inside them. They block frequencies more evenly than your basic foam plugs (which tend to cut out high frequencies more markedly). They are under $20(?) and you should be able to find them at your local pharmacy. Amazon has something similar to them: [link]

Dang. I may have to look into that eventually, but I don't want to start off with those.

Ah-ha! That seems more like what I'm searching for, thank you.
