Reading about photovoltaic systems and the installation concerns about flashing, wind uplift, and leaky roofs. Read the short but informative article in the Star Advertiser’s Hawaii Renovation section. The article is on page 7.

My Nike+ system just let me know that I’m blue, the blue running level that is. I’ve surpassed 620 miles of running, going from level green to level blue. Next up is level purple at 1553(!) miles then level black at over 3107 miles. Here’s the movie clip that greeted me when signing into Nike+ [...]

Fighter jet pilots? I only know of them from the movies. Maverick, Ice Man, Goose, Jester, Merlin, Viper – the all stars from Top Gun is my sole exposure to the world of fighter jet pilots, but thanks to Pacific Air Forces and the Hawaii Air National Guard, I got to meet real-life fighter pilots [...]

Anyone interested in buying a 2011 Entertainment Book? We gotta sell a few for a fundraiser. Here’s a list of participating Hawaii vendors. As usual, we can “swap” fundraiser items. You buy this, I’ll buy from your fundraiser. Sound good?

Though the new Hawaii Five-O reboot has a smaller cast than LOST, I’m still not familiar with the characters or actors. But still, when this guy walked into the Counter in Kahala Saturday evening, I immediately though of Scott Caan who plays Danno. I don’t know why, and I don’t think this was him since [...]

If you’re ever on the Windward side looking for breakfast, you need to visit Cinnamons. Though it does get crowded in the mornings, especially on the weekends, the wait is well worth it. Here’s a snapshot of their daily specials. You have to try their potent guava chiffon pancakes.

What other sustenance do you need other than espresso, art, internet, and food? You can see this sign driving in Waimanalo, headed towards Kailua.

A favorite Friday takeout meal comes from Food Company. Their menu is extensive, but the specials (surf)board is where it’s at! At the very top of the specials board is a new favorite, the seared ahi with jalapeno ponzu sauce (I call that “jalaponzu”).

I’ve used the Intense Debate commenting system since November 2009, and it’s worked well enough. But… it wasn’t what I exactly wanted. Sure, functionally, it performed as advertised, but small things added up. The full featured comment interface looked cluttered and only recently, registered comments and trackbacks were not showing up completely. You would see [...]

The main stairway leading to the Hale Koa hotel in Waikiki has got to be one of the most confusing ever. If you ever walked up these steps, you know what I mean. Each step is so long, you need to take an intermediary step just to reach the next step level. So instead of [...]

So I watched the live stream of Boinx Labs unveiling their latest iPhone 4 app, You Gotta See This, and viewers could interact with the Boinx Labs hosts. I said aloha from Hawaii and little did I know how lucky this message of aloha would be.  Throughout the show, the hosts randomly picked viewers to [...]

Went to check out the hoopla at Heeia Kea Pier in Kaneohe, the filming site of Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides. Though Captain Jack Sparrow, aka Johnny Depp was no where around, the crowds were still coming. We lucked out with parking right at the pier side and stayed for about 15 [...]

Not sure if these bumper stickers are still there at the Windward end of the Pali, but someone wants to make sure we keep the country cropped.

Not sure where I saw this sign, but I thought it was entertaining: Las Vegas • Paris • Tokyo • Waimanalo

I googled “kenmore power miser 9″ and this is the first search result. Not a good sign for our Power Miser 9 and its pilot light that’s been going out recently.
