Have you seen the redesign of the Civil Beat web site? It’s cleaner and has more visual elements that pop. So how would this new design translate to Nike kicks? Well, it might look like these (iconic) Air Max 95s. The “light” colorway. The “dark” colorway. I’d rock either of these (in a size 10)! [...]

Starting tomorrow, Saturday, August 28, 2010, you can secretly order a Starbucks favorite, the Pumpkin Spice Latte. This seasonal drink finds it way back to the baristas, but only if you ask for it since it won’t show up on the menu. The Pumpkin Spice is on Starbucks’ secret menu. Never mind that they blogged [...]

Not sure what to think about the Nike Air Max Modular 95 hybrid. At first glance, it looks plain but then a clean, classic look starts emerging. That back/heel view is killer though, and the colorway is, of course, great.

In July 2009, the family enjoyed the hospitality of the Four Season Lanai, staying at Manele Bay and the Lodge at Koele for a wedding. And who knew the Four Seasons has an active social networking campaign, engaging customers on Twitter and even giving Twitter treats! In July 2009, the Hawaii State Farm Fair featured [...]

It’s a sad day when you have to retire your kicks from your wardrobe rotation. Even sadder is the day when you have to get rid of unwearable kicks. Such was earlier this week when I said good bye to some favorites. What do you see? Yes, those are the Air Jordan XIII, And1 Tai [...]

Starbucks continues to branch out its coffee holdings with suggestions from My Starbucks Idea. This time it’s flavored coffee that’s been added to the Starbucks menu. Available in vanilla, caramel, and cinnamon, these naturally flavored grounds can be found in supermarkets near you. Check out the introductory video.

Nike might be set to release kicks inspired by popular Street Fighter characters. First up are sneakers designed after Chun Li and Ryu. Subtle style, but you can definitely see the design elements from the SF warriors. I’m hoping for Nike’s take on a Guile inspired shoe.

Bought some newly available Starbucks VIA Ready Brew Iced coffee yesterday and am ready to live taste this drink. Got my supplies sans the ice (I don’t really trust the ice here). 12:35 That packet is full! Stirring… Lots of coffee crystals to dissolve. After about a minute of pouring and stirring, I think all [...]

… the now-defunct line of Starbucks canned iced coffee.  Available at your favorite Costco is illy issimo Cappuccino, but of course, being Costco, the canned coffee drink only comes in a 12-pack. The drink isn’t bad, but it’s not very distinguishable. A 8.45-oz can contains 100 calories and 64 mg of caffeine and a mean [...]

Changeable lenses in the DSLR world is evil.  You start with the basic included lens then start wanting more.  Faster, sharper, longer reach – it’s endless. I’ve been looking for a general purpose lens to replace the 18-55mm kit lens that came with the Canon T1i.  Something with a bit more zoom that I can [...]

Does Starbucks have a new lid for its hot drinks? This one looks more plasticy. And still not recyclable in Hawaii (it’s a number 6).

This is a harsh lesson about the virtual meeting the real. Starbucks and Foursquare have teamed up to offer virtual Mayors special offers at real Starbucks locations. But this is what it meant for me in real life. The Starbucks location I went to wasn’t aware of this promotion, so I didn’t get my $1 [...]
