Note to Self: Must Try Gee… A Deli
Snapped this pic of a lunchwagon in Kailua called Gee… A Deli.
I gotta try this place one day. Never seen it before but this eatery has a history in Kailua and has solid Yelp reviews.

What Kind of Kid’s Gift Is This?
Just what kind of kid’s gift is this anyways? I admit I don’t exactly know but despite the Hello Kitty facade, doesn’t it kinda look like a cigarette holder? What’s that inside metal clip for? And the online product description doesn’t help explain what it is.
Thanks Jake and Farmers Hawaii
Thanks again to Farmers Hawaii and Jake Shimabukuro for a great (and free) concert this week, an invitation to the pre-concert VIP party, and to top it off, an autographed CD of Peace, Love, Ukulele.
Jake Shimabukuro Knows NBA Trade Rumors?
Jake Shimabukuro surely knows how to play the ukulele, but can he also divine NBA trade talks with it? I don’t know, but Jake’s likeness was plastered all over this InsideHoops page covering NBA trade rumors.
I guess props goes to Farmers Hawaii’s advertising team in charge of getting their new spokesman out there! Clap, clap!

Timely Topic of Public Toilets
What good timing! We were just lamenting the nasty filthiness that is the restrooms at big box book stores like Borders and Barnes and Noble, and the Oatmeal has this cartoon about public toilets.

Social Media, the POTUS, and Thanks
The end of 2010 brought up a totally unexpected social media opportunity – to watch the arrival of Air Force One and its primary passenger, President Barack Obama. President Obama and the First Family have been making it their Holiday tradition to vacation in Hawaii, but never would I have thought that I would be there as Air Force One touched down.
I’ve been fortunate to attend several exciting social media adventures with the DoD throughout 2010, but this event has to rate highly. An out-of-the-blue email invitation, a submission for a press pass, and I was approved to attend!
So even though Air Force One was scheduled for a late night arrival, hours-long waiting and several security checks weren’t a deterrent. And it was over quickly. After Air Force One taxied at Hickam, President Obama, Senator Akaka, and Representative Hirono deplaned and went their own ways.
But this social media-borne opportunity was not over. At the end of the First Family’s 12-day Hawaiian stay, I was invited to the departure of Air Force One. Along with other social media enthusiasts and traditional media, we watched as Bo, Sasha, Malia, Michelle, and Barack Obama boarded Air Force One for Washington DC.
What a way to end 2010 and welcome in 2011!
Thanks to the Air Force, PACAF, and PACOM for this unique opportunity and special thanks to Scott Morifuji for giving us newbies a clue.
I Slowed Down in 2010
According to Nike+, I slowed down in 2010. For the year, I ran 179 miles but 286 in 2009. Here’s a comparison between 2009 and 2010.
What’s with the slowdown? A look at my monthly breakdown of runs might help.
Now I remember. In April and May, I had some medical work done so I didn’t run for awhile. In June, I went on an epic trip. Not sure what happened in August. Maybe I got sick? October was just a tough time. All that plus I got a stationary bike to ride on so that probably stole away some runs.
But overall, I did achieve the “blue” status in Nike+ surpassing 620 miles run.
New Year, New Look for Starbucks
