A friend told me the other day that he got almost banned by his friends at Posto9 because of the little Tamagotchi which acocmpanied him (a PDA).
Lesson 1: relax (at the beach). That spot is not a hot spot and it is about social networking (not software). You can make business at the beach, but do it the informal way!
Lesson 2: dress code for the beach is just wearing a sunga/bikini, a canga, some R$ for your beer and coconut water, a newspaper, sunglasses and a cellphone so your friends can spot you.
Lesson 3: you do not impress brazilian chicks on the beach with your gadget but your body. You pose, but do not need to expose your toys.
Further lessons: please consult "How to be a Carioca"
This little Japanese gadget from Konami is propably as useless as a Tamagotchi on the beach. Otoizm dancing and me dancing with them? No way, all I need here is a samba, um violão, old skool stuff, you know... But I respect cultural diference, no matter which beaches on earth I go to.
Via Gizmodo.

Do you think the lights of a SE 520i will be accepted at Posto 9?

Maybe I can synch them via Bluetooth so that lights on my Speedo also start flickering when a crucial call comes in.

mmmhhh, good question. Do you think a flickering speedo can compete with the beautiful sunsets of the season? Suggestion: dress a "Brazilian Soul" Sunga from http://www.osklen.com.br , and grab your surfboard or volleyball, pronto!
