The Nike hybrid shoes featuring the latest technology and retro looks finally have a name. Unfortunately, these shoes will be part of the One Time Only pack, meaning I guess this hybrid mashup is a one time deal. Too bad, this is a cool idea.
Here’s a little video about the One Time Only pack produced by Nikelabs.
The fourth set of Eminem’s customized kicks for charity are up for bid on eBay. This time, Marshall released his Air Max 360 and Air Max 2003.
Talk about combining the latest buzzwords! Nike’s using the “360” and the “2.0” terms for their next Air Max update In 2007. These shoes are just the next version of the current Air Max 360 running shoes.
Still nice though. I’m kinda liking that black one.

A very powerful return of Battlestar Galactica. So much has happened as the story line continues one year from the end of the previous season. Everyone’s minds, emotions, morals, and beliefs are in chaos. This will be a great season.
If you want good television, be sure to check out BSG on Friday nights on the Sci-Fi channel (Ch. 37 on Oceanic analog).
Royal Mills (aka Ito En) has released two new canned coffee drinks, Kona Black and White Cappuccino. I call these thunder and lightning for their contrasting black and white packaging and beverage color and taste.
The Kona Black drink is seriously black and not sweet at all. It’s not creamy either and is pretty much coffee straight up. Not bad when you want basic, strong coffee.
The White Cappuccino is the lightning, the exact opposite of the thunder, Kona Black. Sweet and creamy, this drink takes getting used to. Intensely sweet at the beginning but mellows at the end.
Not sure if these drinks are replacing other Royal Mills coffee drinks. I haven’t seen the maroon colored Kona Blended coffee can for some time so it may be replaced by the new Kona Black.

It was the sisterhood of the Booty Call and the Booty Baring representing the bottom of Week 4 of Dancing with the Stars. Vivica A. Fox and Monique Coleman had the lowest scores of the week, and in the end, the fresh face of Monique bootied out the still beautiful (but a little botox-looking) Vivica A. Fox.
What was Vivica’s downfall? Her scary and too powerful dancing. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba had similar sentiments saying bring back the femininity and described the end of Vivica’s paso doble as a “Power Ranger” ending. That and I’m confused by her partner Nick Kosovich. “Kosovich” so I’m thinking Eastern European, but then he opens his mouth, and dude has an Australian accent. So confusing!
Some other notes. For Mario Lopez to maintain his popularity, he needs to just shut up and embrace his eye candiness. Don’t let your spaziness out by speaking. Jerry Springer got the sentimental vote this week with his waltz for his daughter. Does he have more tricks to keep him in the competition? After her gothic waltz, Sara Evans is lucky that country music lovers vote. Joey Lawrence continues to do well but continues to be outmaneuvered by Slater. Joey needs to let out a vintage “Whoa!” to reconnect with his Blossom fans. Willa da Thrilla is getting better each week, but one bad week and she’s gone. Emmitt Smith needs to find his competitive drive that carried him in the NFL. An athlete accustomed to success and winning can’t settle for anything less.
Week 4 eliminated another female celebrity from the show, increasing the odds that a guy will win Dancing with the Stars.

Starbucks Entertainment is the latest label to join the iTunes Store offering a selection of music previously only available at Starbucks coffee houses. Now the iTunes Store features a distinct Starbucks Entertainment section with Starbucks Hear Now music.
I was hoping the XM Artist Confidential CD would be available with this partnership, but I couldn’t find it (yet).

Finishing the Honolulu Marathon 2005 wasn’t enough. Now check off the Portland Marathon. Congratulations on a successful race and representing Hawaii!
Next up, the Boston Marathon?
Rumors of romance, ex-husbands, broken marriages, and of course Paris Hilton. Miss USA 95, Shanna Moakler was eliminated from Dancing with the Stars in Week 2, but she still knows how to “tango,” decking Paris Hilton in the jaw.
If Shanna had shown this fire on Dancing with the Stars, she’d still be in the competition!

First it was the Marble Mocha Macchiato. Now Starbucks is introducing their Maple Macchiato, yet another drink the Hawaii Starbucks won’t be serving.
If you can find this drink, expect a “velvety rich blend of steamed milk and Espresso Roast, hand-finished with a crosshatch of maple.”
Sounds yummy but no love for Hawaii yet. Pay higher prices and get less drinks offered. What an injustice!
