Talk about dedication! For New Moon, Taylor Lautner got pumped, and he’s maintaining his physique while on set by working out from the back of a car. Check out this video but mute the sound (some loud background noises).
That’s some dedication by Team Jacob.

Mother’s Day is coming up, you know.
Completely missed this shakeup on the Hawaii radio waves this week. Of most significance to me is the move of Rory Wild and Gregg Hammer from Hot 93.9 to Island 98.5. Taking the duos place on the morning show is Maleko who teams with holdover Natasha. Not sure what happened to Kreyz Oshiro.
The Wake Up Crew has been a staple on my morning commutes for years. While I’m glad the pair is still together since they synergize so well, I doubt I’ll ever listen to them again since I’m not an island/reggae music listener. I don’t even have 98.5 programmed into my radio. Heck, I didn’t even know this station existed.
It was a good run Wake Up Crew.
I haven’t been really looking at web stats for Pulpconnection for some time. Visits haven’t been the same since the move to WordPress. Couple the move with less and inconsistent blog posting, and the stats ain’t going to look pretty.
For the month of April 2009, here is the top content:
Top traffic sources:
Wow, I don’t know if I like the message looking at the top content – a few Twilight things, a few LOST items, controversial ads from Abercrombie & Fitch, and Club 939?!
Looking at the traffic sources demonstrates the changes of social networking. Facebook, Twitter, and Ginx are now valid sources of traffic, albeit small compared to the search engines.
Gotta keep plugging away and see how things go.
After a few days learning about the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, I’m ready to go Quadrant 4 for awhile. You know the place where not important and not urgent stuff resides, like watching television and goofing around the Internet. 😉
Trying out the new Thesis version 1.5 theme for WordPress. Easy upgrade path but looks like some things broke. My customized navigation bar up to no longer shows all my pages and RSS Subscribe, Email, and Twitter links.
The “teaser” function seems pretty cool to changeup the number of full posts and short teasers seen on the home page. Right now I have 6 full posts shown on the home page then other posts are shown as teasers below these. Scroll down a bit and you’ll see the teaser excerpts. I may go back to full posts on the home page, still playing with the new features of Thesis you know.
Some of my fonts also look different. The tagline of “Addicted to Passions and Pulp” seems smaller and the Google ad’s font doesn’t match anymore.
Out of time for now. More experimenting and learning later.
One more thing, to help control the amount of Spam comments, I set comments to automatically close after 30 days. So if you don’t say you’re peace in one month, too bad!
Made a few small changes to Pulpconnection which uses the great Thesis theme. In the rightmost sidebar, I added a section to display recent links saved to my Delicious account. You’ll see the “Delicious” section under the “What I’m Doing…” area displaying my tweets.
I added a Facebook plugin to integrate Facebook with Pulpconnection, but it doesn’t seem to be working. 🙁
To better track comments, I installed the Subscribe to Comments plugin. For each post, you can now get notified via email of any new comments.
Lastly, the Thesis theme was just updated to version 1.5, and I’ll probably upgrade to that soon enough. So you may be seeing even more changes.
Ah, now I get it! It’s so obvious, but I missed the big picture of Cheryl Burke’s Dancing with the Stars strategery. In Week 6 of DWTS, I took a look at each couple’s strategy of winning the competition. Basically, I thought Cheryl Burke’s strategy for Gilles Marini was showcasing only this Frenchman’s dancing skills. But let’s take a look at the past weeks shall we?
In Weeks 1-4, Cheryl and Gilles indeed focused on the dancing artform. Then in Week 5 came Gilles’ “pecs-o doble” where he started the routine shirtless.
Week 6’s jive featured Gilles and Cheryl in form fitting black leather outfits.
Cheryl and Gilles danced the Viennese Waltz in Week 7, but in preparation, Cheryl had Gilles practice his fluidity with a synchronized swimming instructor which yielded this.
And most recently in Week 8, Gilles flashed the fans his beans and frank via the old moose knuckle.
You see the trend here? It’s not just Gilles’ superb dancing on display. Oh no, Cheryl’s strategy of showcasing the wares of her man candy is in full effect and might lead her to yet another championship. Very, very clever Miss Burke.
Did Gilles Marini give the fans of Dancing with the Stars a flash of some moose knuckle action?
I wonder if this is a ploy by ABC to get more viewers to catch up with American Idol on Fox?
Needed some new take-me-away tunes so bought the newly released Ultra Trance 09 from
