Who’d Be Old Spice Hawaii?
With a vacancy left with the Old Spice Dude saying farewell, I wonder who’d make a respectable Old Spice representative from Hawaii?
How about the iBoxer-posing, redefining sexiness Wayne’s World? Who could be sexier?
Perhaps the the youthful and burger-addicted-vegetarian, Ryan Kanno? But he gracefully declined.
@geewhy Ahaha. Trust me… nobody would want to see me without my shirt on. 😀
Ryan Kanno

Or how about the cerebral physique of @abaggy? That’s a definite match!
Who would be your pick for Old Spice Hawaii?
Aloha Old Spice Dude
That was fast and fun! The popular Old Spice advertising campaign featuring the rugged Old Spice Dude is now over after countless personalized video replies. Go look, now look at me, look back, now back to me. Watch the Old Spice Dude say his farewells.
The Epic Search Goes to Disneyland
The final leg in the search for epic took us to the happiest place on Earth aka Disneyland! If epic were to be found, it would be here. And yes, Ridermakerz is a $$$-maker. Someone really did release the kraken at the Disneyland Hotel pool (not one of us). During the daily night fireworks show, we were stuck on a boat in Storyland. What awesome unobstructed views of the show! The new World of Color show is a must see.

Social Media Affirmation from My Pepsi Cap
Now this is comforting (and a little uncanny). After my Pepsi cap told me my social media efforts were as plain as a white sox, I had to step up my efforts, and I guess I did so as reaffirmed by today’s Pepsi cap.
My recent social media efforts have received grades of A’s! Yay!
Enraptured by the F-22 Arrival
On Friday, July 9, 2010, Hawaii welcomed the permanent arrival of its first F-22 fighter jets. The F-22 Raptors are significant assets to protect the strategic triangle of Hawaii, Alaska, and Guam, and their new home, Pacific Air Forces, held an arrival ceremony opened to dignitaries, guests, media, and for the first time, social media enthusiasts. This ceremony did not disappoint, enrapturing the five senses of sight, taste, smell, hearing, and touch.
Sight
The F-22 arrival ceremony was a stunningly visual collage backdropped by the decorated Hickam airfield, painted with streaks of the jets making their airborne introductions, adorned with a traditional Hawaiian hula, and accented by the many faces of family and friends.
Taste
There was no doubt of the palatable anticipation of the Raptors’ arrival, and when the jets roared through the blue sky, you had to savor moment.
Smell
The subtle scents of the morning cannot be forgotten. The day started with the distinct smell of fresh rain gently falling on our Aloha State. Then later, the acridity of jet fuel and exhaust permeated the air as the duo of F-22s approached the crowds.
Hearing
The sounds of the ceremony ranged from the Air Force band playing familiar classics to the Hawaiian chant of Robert Cazimero to the whine of supercruise-capable, turbofan engines…
… to the spoken accolades of the Raptors’ significance.
a force multiplier… exponential leap in force… envy of the world… unsurpassed capability throughout the Pacific… aim high everyday for freedom.
Touch(ed)
And lastly, the sense of touch and being touched. The ceremony allowed for close proximity to these $140-million planes and handshakes with distinguished visitors and government leaders. Emotionally touching was the patriotism and pride displayed by the Airmen in attendance.
And what a fitting touch paying homage to Hawaii with F-22 pilot and Commander of the Air Guard’s 199th Fighter Squadron, Lt Col Christopher Faurot, a graduate of local Damien Memorial School and F-22 crew chief, Staff Sgt Ben Nitta, a graduate from Mililani High School.
Thank you to PACAF, the U.S. Air Force, and Pacific Command for this experience.

Checking Out the New Digg
The popular Digg service is undergoing changes to challenge the popularity of Twitter and other social media services. I’m gonna check it out but need to verify my account first.
Looking for an iPhone 4 Case
Still early in the iPhone 4 lifespan, the accessory ecosystem isn’t there yet and finding cases are difficult. At $30, Apple’s bumper (in black) can be found at the Apple Store, but it doesn’t look like it provides adequate protection.
I’ll probably go with the highly rated Speck CandyShell
For now, I guess I could make my own. Do I even have a LIVESTRONG bracelet?
Oh wait, I just saw this Speck Fitted case. It may not provide as much protection as the CandyShell, but the CookieCamo Brown fabric backing is cool.
Bieber Fever Coming to Hawaii
It’s too late for inoculations! Bieber fever is infecting Hawaii on October 8 and 9 so grow out your hair, sweep it sideways, and find your most colorful kicks for a night with Justin Bieber.
Camera Samples from the iPhone 4
How good is the new camera on the iPhone 4? Here’s a still image and HD video taken at the Contemporary Museum’s ArtSpree event yesterday.
Be sure to crank the video up to the 720p HD version.
Very impressive!
