Winter Oreos
The permutations of Oreo cookies are seemingly endless. The newest variation I’ve seen include red Winter and Candy Cane Oreos.
I wonder how these cookies would taste paired with a hot instant Oreo latte?

Amazon Prime Instant Video Disappointment
One of the draws of signing up for Amazon Prime is the free access to its catalog of streaming videos. Sadly, only after trying to troubleshoot why this wasn’t working with my Tivo box, did I find the answer. Amazon Instant instant videos don’t work with Tivo as stated in the FAQ.
At this time, Prime instant videos are only available for streaming and cannot be viewed on a TiVo box.
I’ve rented movies from Amazon in the past, and these movies have worked with my Tivo, just not these (free) Prime videos. Don’t know why, but it is disappointing.
Servco Auto Windward Has a New Waiting Room
If you haven’t been to the Servco Auto Windward dealership then you haven’t seen their new waiting room. The old waiting room was part of the sales area in the main building. Now, they’ve redone the neighboring Suzuki dealership building and converted that for customers.
Inside you’ll find lots of tables and chairs, restrooms, and a large screen television.
The best part is this commercial grade Keurig machine!
The next thing I hope they improve upon is these printed receipts. Can I get them electronically please? I would love an app that had a record of all the service I had done for my vehicles. I could look up past work and even get a total cost for the work performed.

How Do You Stir Your Morning Coffee?
After a day of continuous eating and giving thanks followed by a night of Black Friday (online) shopping and story watching, there is only one way to stir your morning coffee – with a Twinkie.
Holiday Gift Guide: Belkin Grip Candy Sheer Case
Not a Black Friday deal, but the Belkin Grip Candy Sheer Case for the iPhone 5 is a solid choice for a case. Not overly thick, good grip and feel, and shows some style, especially the black and green model. And this color combo is finally available.
Happy Turkey Day!
Happy Thanksgiving to all! Don’t eat too much, plan out your Black Friday buying, and just enjoy!
Now, can we start up the non-stop Christmas music on the radio stations?

Got My Juicies
It’s been a long journey for the Kickstarter-powered Juicies project. Started in 2011, Juicies goal was to bring colorful cables made out of recycled materials to the iPhone market. The colors were delicious, the price was right, and hey, Laurens from Hawaii was behind it all so why not back this project?
Then there was a string of manufacturing delays that Laurens explained in detail. Then Apple moved from the de facto 30-pin dock connector to Lightning. Juicies persevered with production and allowed backers to change cable types to a USB extension or a micro USB cable.
After a long wait, here are the results.
Love this display.
The box design deserves some attention and credit as well. No fuss, no muss but good looking.
What’s in the box is minimal and looks made out of recycled materials as well.
At long last, my Juicies cable in lime green. It was either green or orange, but I thought the green was more vibrant. Actually, the pink and purple colors had a good sheen on them as well.
Thanks Laurens! Oh yeah, he may have extra cables to purchase for the holidays.

Kamehameha Highway Decorated No More
Back in March 2011, I was enthralled with the newly decorated Kamehameha Highway in the Pearl City area. Only this week, my obtuse power of observation noticed that all the decorations are gone. I don’t know when it exactly happened, but I kinda miss the garish display.
Restaurant Week at Roy’s
Enjoyed the Restaurant Week promotion at Roy’s. Well, dining at Roy’s is always a treat, but a great meal at a great price is even greater.
