Crazy Will Ferrell’s new movie Semi-Pro debuts today in theaters nationwide. His movie about a semi-professional basketball team vying to join the NBA might make it big this extra day of February. Beyond Will’s comedic skills, who knew he was a baller?

Before things get too serious here, a blurb about a star sighting at SFO Airport. In between flights at the food court area, I saw this bearded guy who looked familiar. Sure enough, it was musician Jack Johnson who recently released his latest work, Sleep Through the Static.
Even though he looked a bit [...]

Times Like These…

With parenthood comes the best and worst of times. I’ve thought about what to say for this post for some time, but now the words fail me.
All I know is I want my son to have a chance – a chance at freedom, a chance at normalcy, a chance to live.
I’ll keep this [...]

Yikes! Get your caffeine fix in right now cuz there’ll be a major outage come later today. ALL Starbucks nationwide will be closing today at 5:30 (local times) for mandatory training to “energize” its workers.

A real quick giveaway of free music on iTunes. I got three iTunes song credits left from last year’s Starbucks promotion. These credits expire the end of February, and I’m giving them away.
First three two Pulp fans who name a song they want, I’ll go to the iTunes Store and gift it to [...]

I didn’t realize that every Tuesday this new year Apple has released something new. The telltale sign that something’s up is the temporary closing of the online Apple Store. Today is no different. Going to store.apple.com gives you this.

What’s coming out today? New MacBook Pro laptops is the leading guess… and [...]

I love it when Duane Dog Chapman talks local kine:
I am heartbroken that this has occurred, but I am relieved that my son in now in a place where he can no longer hurt himself. To my bruddahs in the system: please don’t hurt my son as he knows not what he does. I love [...]

How did your hunt for the Air Jordan XX3 go? Did you manage to get a pair of the black/stealth general releases? If you went to the Ala Moana Footlocker you had to get there early. According to one of the workers, there was a line, but they still had one size [...]

The general release of the Air Jordan XX3 is set for today, February 23, but how hard will it be to find a pair in Hawaii? I called Niketown Honolulu on Friday and while no line had yet formed, the employee said she wouldn’t be surprised if there were a line come Saturday morning. [...]

Just read about Grand Central, a phone system on the web, that Google bought awhile back. As a Blogger user, you can sign up for GC account while they’re still in beta status. I don’t quite fully get it yet, but with GC, you can sign up for a free telephone number (though [...]

Luckily nothing happened when a tiger escaped from the Honolulu Zoo yesterday. How did the tiger escape? Check out the security latch of the tiger den.
Actually, this pic was taken while the new tiger den was under construction.

Even with over 300 new features touted in Mac OS X 10.5, aka Leopard, I bought it for one reason and one reason only, Time Machine. The automated backup feature of Leopard makes backing up your data unbelievably easy. Connect an external drive, turn on Time Machine, and that’s it.
But this peace of [...]

Linkin Park rocked at the New York City SoHo Apple Store last night as Apple continues to host famous bands at its retail locations. My only question is when does Hawaii get an Apple Concert?
The Ala Moana location can easily host a concert either right in front of the Apple Store or [...]

Okay, sorry, I’m back finishing up looking at Season Six of Dancing with the Stars. Did you know the average age of this year’s dancers is 40? The youngest is Mario and the oldest is Priscilla Presley at 63. I guess there’ll be no more Sabrina Bryan fickle followers this year.
Marlee Matlin [...]

I don’t know much about politics and our voting system, but I surely know a good ole beatdown when I see one. That was the result of Hawaii’s Democratic caucus yesterday with “local boy” Barack Obama giving Hillary Clinton a 76% to 24% vote punishment. 76 to 24? That is a beatdown. [...]

The next set of Dancing Stars were announced Tuesday morning and now the professional pairings have been finalized. Let’s take a look…
Adam Carolla and Julianne Hough. I don’t know what to make of Adam Carolla, other than he’s representing the common guy. He ain’t the handsomest guy unlike Wayne’s World and he [...]
