Club 939 has always been large on the scene, kicking it as Hawaii’s hottest gentlemen’s club. Now Club 939 is literally super large with their new sign lighting up Keeaumoku. In fact, the sign is so large that driving and taking a picture of it was too dangerous, and this is all I could get (it’s the one in the top left corner).
Who knew Hawaii’s largest health care coverage provider, HMSA, was such a social (networking) place? According to Bytemarks, times are chaging with HMSA opening its network tollgates to the likes of MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter.
With this change, it’d be interesting to see if the company can capitalize on and join the social network movement. Who wouldn’t want to talk dental plans on Twitter and post to Facebook and have it followed on FriendFeed? 😉
The next thing you know, local Chinese restaurants on the Windward side will also feature social networking tools to share their new Specials menu, so you too can promote the ono Crispy shell baskets on Reddit, Facebook , Technorati, Digg, Mister Wongs(?!?), MySpace, and more!

Playing around with Skribit (sounds like a mix between a frog’s ribit and scribe). Might use this as part of an upcoming contest giveaway…
Remember that old video game Spy Hunter? You’d control that neato James Bond-ish car that had machine guns and could release oil slicks and smoke screens to wipe out the bad guys.
This must be how the bad guys felt when seeing that smoke screen coming.
Back when Scottie Pippen roamed the court along with MJ, he had some kicks to his name as well. Not as avant-garde as the Air Jordans, but the Air Pippens had their moments especially with the first in the Pippen lineup. Despite weighing a ton, the Air Pippen 1 were stunning. The Nike Air unit provided a lot of support, and quality and makesmanship was excellent. Look, I still have my original pair!
Nike is retroing these kickis in August in various colorways including this OG version matching the Chicago Bulls colors.
Taking a page from the Nintendo Wii playbook, Nike introduced its My Nike+ Mini personalized avatar. These little guys are supposed to reflect your Nike+ recorded runs and show status based on energy levels or something like that.
Here is my first attempt at making a Mini. Go to Nikeplus.com and build your own Mini.

Ha, our unofficial alumni site has some hopeful thinking going on with this Dallas Mavericks jersey for Derrick Low. No jinx!
But he’d look a lot more natural in a red jersey…
Read this story about Bill Gates signing off at Microsoft today. I don’t know about you, but the article sure points out a lot of low points of Bill’s career. Not quite what I would expect as a tribute on Gates’ last day. Some quotes from the article:
Microsoft is losing Gates at a time when “cloud computing” is shaking the packaged software foundation on which the company’s fortune is built.
Meanwhile, Microsoft’s Windows Vista operating system released in January of 2007 has flopped with customers, many of whom are clinging to its predecessor Windows XP.
Vista loathing is heightening interest in free Linux open-source software and Macintosh computers, which use operating systems built by Apple.
Microsoft began selling Zune brand MP3 players in September of 2006 to compete with Apple’s market-dominating iPods, but the devices haven’t been a hit with customers.
Microsoft appears to have failed in a recent bid to buy Yahoo for nearly 50 billion dollars in order to combine online resources to better battle Google in the booming Internet search and advertising sectors.
Uh… thanks??

Even though these have been out for sometime, I only saw the Local Grinds quizzes recently. The concept is simple – identify the pictured food items. Two quizzes with 50 items each.
Download the Excel-based quizzes here.

Bummer, Derrick Low wasn’t drafted in the NBA’s latest event making millionaires out of teenagers. Hope he gets picked up by a team in the League. Much love D. Low.
If you happen to be available next year, your high school stomping grounds would be grateful to have you as a VIP guest at a future Touch of Iolani.
Update: Oh but wait, D Low signed with Mark Cuban’s Mavs (summer league).
