Okay, really, it’s not that bad. But right now, my #coppingkicks mood is like this: I missed out on most hyped releases, but again, just gotta keep things in perspective. Although they are just shoes, I wouldn’t have minded a pair or two (hint, hint Travis Scott).

A Morning of Stress
Bottom line: I didn’t get a pair of the Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 that released on Nike SNKRS. I was there, and I was ready with three phones and three accounts. But I got hit with error after error just trying to navigate the purchasing process. Apple Pay didn’t register. I think I mistyped […]
I Wasn’t the One, Overshoe Edition
I also was not the one who supposedly got the last size 9 of the Nike + Tom Sachs Mars Yard (Overshoe) High Tops from Mr. Porter.
I Wasn’t the One
Nope, I wasn’t the one who supposedly got the last one of these Funko Pop Michael Jordans with free shipping from Fanatics.com.

I Just Want My Freakin’ Ice!
Since 2017, our Samsung french door refrigerator, model RF28K9380SR, has been working well. And then there’s now where our ice maker don’t make ice. Taking out the ice bin, you can see that the ice maker is frozen over (does this prelude a White Walker victory in Game of Thrones?). Looking online, Samsung refrigerators are […]
Stricter Apple Pay?
Was it the macOS 10.14.4 update that has made password security much tougher for the end user? Whenever Safari’s autofill attempts to fill out a form, I’m not prompted to provide a fingerprint or enter a password. Previously, the autofill did its magic. From a security standpoint, this is probably better, but when you’re in […]

My Relationship with Nordstorm Is Strange
This post’s title says it all. I’ve said good things about Nordstrom, but I’ve shared mostly bad experiences shopping online. Why you ask? Because this customer service-centric company does stuff like this. They cancel two of my online orders due to lack of stock. Yet, what did I see while poking around men’s shoes this […]
Pali Highway Closure Memories
By now, Windward residents are too familiar with the closure of the Pali Highway and its impact on traffic. Tuesday (the first day of the closure) was a commuter’s nightmare as expected. Leaving home at 6:00, I didn’t get to Honolulu until around 7:40, driving through Waimanalo and Hawaii Kai. For the drive home, I […]
Eastbay Playing Games?
First time ordering through Eastbay today, and I went on a short roller coaster ride. Adding shoes to my cart was fast but checking out was puzzling. Where is the button/link to review and submit the actual order? It’s not there. 🙁 After trying all over again, I get this while checking out. Since […]
Nordstrom Online Continues to Disappoint
What else can I say other than I’ve been let down by Nordstrom online again… and again. Twice in the same day. I had placed two early orders for pre-release products – one in January and one in February. Yesterday, I received two emails that both orders had been cancelled due to item unavailability. Supposedly […]
