I’m bummed I didn’t attend the Iolani dedication of the Sullivan Center for Innovation and Leadership where alumni Guy Kawasaki presented his top ten lessons of innovation.
But Guy’s 15-minute presentation was recorded and is now available for viewing by following this link.
Here’s a sample of Guy’s comedic opening to break the ice.
At the Iolani Fair, I picked up the last One Team hat in grey. Still had the hat in red or black, but I thought the grey provided the most contrast.
All I can say about this release of LeBron X+ is LeBron No Ka Oi.
A high school basketball team decked out in $200 team sneakers? Only at private school! 😉
Yes, I know the image is big and extends outside the main column, but I kinda like this effect. I’ll probably leave it large for awhile. 🙂 Okay, scaled it down to size.
Rookies. Every profession has a term for the uninitiated – the newbies, the interns, the freshmen. So don’t be surprised that the sorority of Sports Illustrated swimsuit models has its share of rookies. One of this year’s rookies is Hawaii-raised Michelle Vawer.
Michelle is contending for Swimsuit Rookie of the Year and represents the Aloha State. And yes, she was a swimmer for Team No Ka Oi.
You can vote for Michelle until the contest closes on March 12, 2012.
“Who was America’s first vice president and second president?” asks It’s Academic. Pshaw! “Is that your best?” is what I counter with.
It’s Academic is the latest educational challenge, pitting the smarts of Hawaii high school teams against each other. We’re talking math, science, current events, public schools, private schools. But… back in the late 80’s, there was the grand daddy of the educational challenges, clumsily called Quizzard. There’s scant documented lore about the show’s existence, and rumor has it that more evidence of Quizzard lies trapped in a pile of BetaMax tapes. But yes people, I assure you that Quizzard did indeed exist.
In the dark and dank Puuhale studios with a virile B-Rock posing the questions, teams showcased their best and their brightest (and social outcasts). But there were moments. Like when one under-aged contestant introduced himself on the show with hobbies of “fast cars and fast women.” Was that edited out during the television broadcast? Possibly, but it was said.
There was another contestant, possibly a bowling aficionado, whose attempt to rally the live studio audience was ill-fated. Nonetheless, the audience audibly responded.
Along with the three-person Quizzard team, you cannot overlook the alternates. The alternates are the practice players whose job is to push the starters to the extreme, ready for competition. Without the alternates, there would be no starters. So no matter if alternates didn’t get a chance to buzz in and meet B-Rock, we genuflect at your contribution.
What? You say you never heard of Quizzard? Truthfully, it was a fairly short run with some private school dominating early, taking the Quizzard championships. So while the Quizzard legacy may be academic, it is cherished.
These Nike Air Trainer 1’s are inspired by Brandon Roy and the Portland Trailblazers, but they sure have that No Ka Oi feel.
To bad these player exclusives are not for general sale.
