Checking out a new local kine blog called The View from Space (… the one between my ears). Give it a read; yeah only three posts so far but it’s a good start.

As long time Pulpconnection readers know, I write about visits to local shopping malls and often poke fun at the things I see. I have no connections or insider knowledge of these shopping venues, instead reporting back what I publicly observe while strolling around. Coincidentally, Windward Mall has taken the brunt of my ribbing since [...]

That limited edition coconut M&Ms are now mainstream, available in bulk from Costco.

Just realized that President Barack Obama in Hawaii and hiking the Makapuu Lighthouse trail have been recent family traditions during December. In December 2008, that Oahu-wide power outage precipitated the Lighthouse hike, and Mr. Obama was on the Windward side greeting people. Better schedule these traditions for 2010 but skipping that blackout part.

That voice. It came out of nowhere atop the Makapuu Lighthouse trail. The voice asking if I wanted a picture taken of the entire family with me, the photographer, in it. The voice telling her own personal stories of family members missing from pictures serving duty behind the camera. Nah, no thanks was my simple [...]

The Honolulu Police Department has their wall of shame up for those arrested Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence of an Intoxicant (OVUII). You can see the inaugural offenders here. Do you know any of them? Oh, and some of the pics are classic. Is Banery doing the shaka in his pic? Don’t forget that [...]

We are creating a Honolulu-based local news service that will produce original, in-depth reporting and analysis of local issues in Hawaii. One of the first steps for this endeavor is finding an editor. So if you have the skills and passion, [...]

On the way home on earlier this week, a sudden downpour downed a tree on the H3. Here are some action pics.

KGMB9 did wonders with its blogs and building trust with them, and I’m glad to see this facet transition over to the new mega KGMB-KHNL-KFVE merger known as Hawaii News Now. The new news station has refreshed its blogroll, bringing in some new bloggers. Minna Sugimoto goes Behind the Yellow Tape, videojournalist Duane Shimogawa says [...]

What did I spot at Ala Moana this past weekend? How about this $175 Juicy bag for a grandmother? Not your thing? How about some Nike Lunarglides? And in case you forget, here’s a shirt to remind you. Awesome (and expensive) Star Wars Lego. And Legos are cool! Just ask Naveen Andrews aka Sayid on [...]

Did you catch protesters outside of Walgreens locations around the island this past week? If not, here’s a picture (click to enlarge). I don’t know the background of this other than what the sign says about using standard area contractors.

Checked out the Thunderbirds performance today but instead of a closeup visit, we decided to watch from afar at a quieter distance. And something’s not right with my camera. See those black smudges in the center of the pics? Not sure where they’re coming from. And yes, Threadless.com was represented.

Overnight, there was quite a bit of Twitter discussion about the history of @alohaarleen. Arleen’s a prolific tweeter (too walaau mouth for me) with 80,000 followers who crossed a few too many people here on the island. Then the past started coming out. High drama in Twitterlulu!

I couldn’t believe it and had to watch for a bit as our new postal carrier went off roading to deliver mail in the neighborhood. Instead of stopping his mail truck and getting out to make his deliveries, he would drive on curbs, squeeze by brushes, and do anything so he didn’t have to get [...]

I noticed my car radio is dialed into 96.3 KRTR more often – a sign I’m getting older. I’ve been taking a break from my iPod to listen to weather and traffic reports, but I can’t really find a station to lock in on. I know that it’s gonna be a good night for the [...]

Hey all you Windward tweeters, the Hawaii Department of Transportation is asking you to retweet the lane closure from 830A-3P. Be sure to help out and RT the message.

You gotta give it to former UH Warriors football stars who keep the Aloha spirit alive. What happens when a keiki Warrior fan spies Colt Brennan at a recent neighborhood gathering? He asks for an autograph of course. Not tainted by the high makamaka as an NFL-er, Colt signs without hesitation. Even cooler, Colt goes [...]

So the weather anomaly once called Hurricane Felicia fortunately lost steam as it headed to Hawaii but did bring unusual weather. Here’s my pictures of Felicia. Visibility at 4:30 in the afternoon. But then, the cloud cover opens up.
