Starbucks is selling its own line of gear at its stores. Here’s a reusable cup sleeve and a bag I can’t understand the purpose of. Anyone know what the bag is for?

I’m Blue!

by Gee Why on September 3, 2010

in Life,Passion

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+ [...]

StumbleUpon is That Popular?!

I knew StumbleUpon was a popular social media service but always viewed it as a dark horse. Who knew how popular it really is.

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)! [...]

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 [...]

Runaway Love Remixed

by Gee Why on August 30, 2010

in Passion,Pulp

The Twitter announced collaboration between Kanye West, Justin Bieber, and Raekwon is now available for listening. The MP3 version of Runaway Love is supposedly available on Kanye’s blog, but I can’t figure out that UserShare interface with 5 download buttons that take you everywhere but to the song.

Over on the popular ProBlogger blog, there’s a post asking readers what their favorite (free) WordPress plugins are. It’s interesting to see what are the popular ones. Some new ones for me include Broken Link Checker and CommentLuv. Sadly Broken Link Checker isn’t cooperating with my install of WP 3.0.1, giving me database errors. I’ve [...]

After running with my Nike+ system, I heard a congratulatory message saying I burned a tremendous amount of calories. What I would have preferred is something like this: “Congratulations! You burned a tremendous amount of calories. Now go celebrate with an ice cream cone.” Or maybe from a marketing and partnership standpoint: “Congratulations! You burned [...]

The new Canon EOS 60D DSLR camera is releasing soon, and you can pre-order on Amazon. The 60D is an upgrade to the T2i which is the step up from the T1i and incorporates a swiveling (articulating) screen. Also the 60D improves on video and “button-ology.” Here’s an early review at dpreview.com.

While the official list of Dancing with the Star contestants (and pros) isn’t announced until next week, there are a bunch of rumors going around. So far I’m not digging the lineup. David Hasselhoff extends the Baywatch connection, and he might be entertaining to watch. Michael Bolton. Former NFL QB, Kurt Warner. Singer Brandy. Michael [...]

Our handy dandy Roomba would start cleaning then play a sad song with a blinking red light. Its battery may need replacing or I’m hoping a reset will do the trick. How do you reset a Roomba? Watch the iRobot Customer Care Guys support video and find out.
