Honolulu Zoo and Playing Around with iLife ’08

Went to the Honolulu Zoo and got the obligatory pictures of sleepy and pooping animals. Also saw the construction of the new Safeway complex in Kapahulu. Looks gigantic!

Posted the pictures to my .Mac Web Gallery using iPhoto ’08.

Also got a short video clip of the feeding of the zoo’s Sumatran tiger. Shared this video using iMovie ’08 to both my .Mac Web Gallery and to YouTube. The .Mac Web Gallery version looks a lot better than the YouTube version. Still though, a nice convenience to export movies straight from iMovie to YouTube without any extra intermediary steps.

The YouTube version:

Holiday Gift Guide: Britney’s Blackout

, , ,

Even though Coco Bean is holding out against buying Britney Spear’s hot club single Gimme More, she won’t be able to resist Britney’s Blackout album. Releasing on November 13, Blackout focuses on “blocking out negativity and embracing life fully,” a good theme for the upcoming hectic holidays.

Coco Bean is so going to get Blackout since you know she loves black things.

Holiday Gift Guide: Nike Amp+ (For Real This Time)

, , , ,

nikeampThe 2007 Pulpconnection Holiday Gift Guide is starting early this year. Last November, the Nike Amp+ wristwatch and iPod Sports Kit controller was featured. This year, the Amp+ is actually shipping.

For $80, you get a watch that is a wireless remote for the iPod Sports Kit. So instead of fumbling to reach the controls of your iPod+Sports Kit, you can simply use the Amp+ for volume control, forward/back a song, play and pause, and to queue up your power song.

Instead of visually displaying your running stats on the watch face, the Amp+ can trigger audible feedback of your time, distance, calories, and pace.

So simple and a great gift for music loving runners!

Hung Goes All the Way on Top Chef!

Season Three of Top Chef is over, and Hung has done it, going all the way! In the kitchen, he was the most talented technically, but his cold, competitive demeanor also made him the most despised chef. Despite getting the least amount of votes in Bravo’s Top Chef poll, he still beat out a surging Dale and fan favorite Casey with a mistake-free and balanced final meal.


Casey just didn’t have it in the finale. Not sure what happened to her. I thought it would be between Hung and Casey for the championship, but Casey’s dishes didn’t win over any of the judges. Yeah, she looked flustered on the show, but a big factor had to have been Dale’s strong finish. In the first round of the finals, Dale’s cauliflower comeback gave him a huge confidence boost that he carried into the second round winning two courses of the final meal.

Everything simply came together for Hung in the finals. Getting paired with Rocco DiSpirito and Sara was divine. Rocco and Hung’s cooking styles and flavors were complementary and knowing he’d have issues working with former Top Chef contestants CJ and Howie, Hung luckily draws Sara as his sous chef. With the freedom to cook the kind of food he wanted, Hung combined his skills and his passion, created fabulous dishes, and deservedly won the title of Top Chef.


Hey, I didn’t know Hung knew Wolverine!

Starbucks and Apple Giving Away Millions of Free Songs

, , , ,

The melding of the superpowers has begun. Apple and Starbucks started their promotion of giving away millions of free iTunes songs to Starbucks customers (like me!). Here’s what I got so far, Bob Dylan’s Jokerman, KT Tunstall’s One Day, and a re-chargable card with two free songs.


A sleepy Windward-side Starbucks wasn’t quite prepared for this promotion. Nope, crowds weren’t there for the music. Just the opposite. The workers didn’t know a whole lot about the promo. I asked about the free music and got answers of “huh?” They did have big signs up so I pointed to them and said that thing.

Anyway, the promo goes on until November 7 so that’s one free song per day until then. The only problem is that you don’t know which song or artist will be available on which day. You can find out the song of the day, but there’s no release schedule that I can find. Just gotta keep going back to a Starbucks near you.
