Today Is the Birthdays of Kobe Bryant and Jeremy Lin
I find some humor in the shared birthdays of the Black Mamba and JLin, especially after this exchange.
Anyways, Happy Birthdays are in order for a pair of NBA’s finest!

Lady Gaga’s Black Perfume
I’m not sure what to make of Lady Gaga’s Fame Eau de Parfum. It sounds like the fragrance is a black liquid in the bottle but once sprayed, turns clear.
The three inspirations of Fame are nightshade, opulence, and magnificence. So if this embodies your spirit, by all means spritz away! And Fame is for both gals and guys (sorta).
From the advertisement, I get a sense that Fame contains hints of Gaga’s pits?
Saab Cars and Kiddori
At first, the license plate of this Saab caught my eye. WASAAB. I see what the car owner did there with Wassup and a Saab.
Then the frame for the license plate caught my eye. It’s an advertisement for Kiddori.com. That’s an interesting way to advertise an app! For a description of the app, check out Ryan’s Hawaii Blog.
Jay-Z’s Blueprint for the Brooklyn Nets
Reading about Jay-Z’s deep influence on the Brooklyn Nets branding. Interesting when Jay-Z’s empire collides with sports.
The Allied Avenger Launches
From a jumble of discovered LEGO bricks, the Blacktron Allied Avenger is assembled and ready to launch!

A LEGO Surprise, Part 2
What’s hiding in this Mac IIsi NuBus Adapter Card box?
I found this box on a shelf, opened it up, and found more LEGO!
There are a lot of bricks crammed into this small box.
A couple more minifigures to add to the collection…
Time to start building!
The Inaccessible Accessibility Path
I don’t know about you, but this accessibility path looks kinda inaccessible to me. At least there is a path, but it is a little narrow, winds around, and further along, is a little overgrown by the grass.
The First Word in the Mac’s Dictionary App?
What’s the “first” word defined in the Mac’s built-in Dictionary app? Hit the spacebar in the search field to find out. I accidentally brushed the space bar and was given this Easter egg.
A LEGO Surprise, Part 1
Look what the mailman brought! In a little nondescript brown package, these fun items were revealed.
I only managed to find these three available from a vendor on Amazon.com, but they’re pretty cool. It looks like the vendor felt each package and then labeled them. The gymnast’s bag was actually cut open and taped closed. No matter though since the minifigures were intact and as promised.
Hopefully, this doesn’t end my Olympics LEGO search with possibly a few more packs coming in. 🙂
The Dirty Cheeto
Although sounding like something out of Urban Dictionary, the dirty cheeto is actually this.
This loner was pulled straight out of a freshly opened bag of Cheetos. The rest of the bag was fine, just this one oddity. Would you have eaten it? How about this?
Kailua Get One Subaru BRZ
At least that’s what I think is this car. Although I couldn’t get a clean picture, I think the rear said BRZ, so I’m sticking with my assertion that Kailua get one Subaru BRZ.
