If 2005 was a good year for you, good news! You can cherish it for a little while longer. The introduction of 2006 will be delayed by one second to compensate for changes in the Earth’s rotation. So the last minute of 2005 will have 61 seconds.

I’ve been playing around with Technorati tags but not sure what to make of Feedburner. I don’t quite understand what it’s supposed to do above and beyond RSS feeds. I don’t use Trackbacks (not sure if [...]

What happens when family members give Lotto scratch off game tickets as a Christmas gift? Watch our very own home video to find out.
Oh yeah, QuickTime required for viewing and give it a minute before the movie starts playing.

Continuing the marketing challenge of Shaq and Kobe, let’s look at my favorite, shoes, aka kicks. Shaq versus Kobe, Round 2. Sorry, but no contest in this one.
Shaq’s affordable $40 Dunkman shoe available only at Payless Shoes sends out a positive message. But it’s uuuuugggggllllyyyy. No matter how dominating Shaq is, [...]

It seemed strange at the time, but I did experience Apple’s updated checkout system called EasyPay during the Holiday buying period. With a wireless device, a cashier scans your items, swipes your credit card, and you’re done. A receipt is sent to your email address.

Something you don’t see everyday… For quite a while, our street intersection didn’t have a street sign after a motorcycle accident took it out. Yesterday, a road crew came by and in about 10 minutes had a new sign up.

Don’t know how legit this local story is, but Tannya Joaquin from KHON reported it so maybe there’s some truth to it.

Haven’t tried it out yet, but the sole purpose of Handbrake Lite is to convert DVDs into iPod-sized movies.

You would have thought that with all the family Christmas parties, there would be lots of leftovers. No such luck this year. No leftovers but one tired, over-stimulated baby. So we had to go support the Kailua economy by buying lunch.

Pretty basic site, but they’re listed first in Google’s search results, and that’s a good thing.
Some minor suggestions for the site. Change [...]
