Yelped Bob’s Bar-B-Que, Toyota Windward, and Mexico Restaurant
Not like I’m headed towards Yelp Elite-ness or anything, but I was in the mood to review some of my recent visits. So I Yelped about:
- Bob’s Bar-B-Que. 4 stars.
- Servco Toyota Windward. 5 stars.
- Mexico Restaurant. 3 stars.
Now if a current Yelp Elite member decides to nominate me for elite status, I would not decline. 😉
HD Radio in Hawaii
So I just learned that HD radio is indeed available in Hawaii and has been in the islands since 2007. Without HD radio compatible gear, it never mattered to me. But now that I can tune into HD broadcasts, I was looking for tunes in HD. Sadly, there’s not much. Can you tell what music genre is popular?
- 92.3 KSSK. Adult Contemporary Music
- 93.9 KHJZ. Rhythmic Adult Contemporary
- 97.1 KORL. Japanese – J-Pop Music
- 98.5 KDDN. Island Rhythm 98.5. Island Music
- 100.3 KCCN. FM 100: Island Music & Reggae
- 101.5 KORL. K-Rock: Hawaii’s Real Rock
- 101.9 KUCD. Star 101.9. Hawaii’s New Music Alternative (not working for me)
- 105.1 KINE. Contemporary Hawaiian Music
- 107.5 KORL. Hawaii’s K-Pop on FM (Korean)
There’s always Pandora and iTunes Radio…
Secretly Proud
You know the old school duo, Kid and Play, are secretly proud of this ‘do.

SNeaKeRS, There’s an App for That
Yes, there are now two official apps for sneakers. Adidas used their Confirmed app to secure a pair of Yeezys, and not to be outdone, Nike launches their SNKRS app today.
Right now, it looks like full functionality of the app isn’t yet unleashed. You can see mobile versions of Nike’s public launch calendar or shop the online Nike Store. I’m guessing with an access code, you’ll have the ability to go for the popular releases along with saving your personalized information like shipping address and shoe size to expedite purchases. I’m waiting for my access code, Nike.
The Kanye Yeezy Boost Debuts
Kanye West’s collaboration with Adidas comes to life on Valentine’s Day as the Yeezy Boost debuts today in New York. Later in the month, you can stand in the virtual queue provided by the Confirmed app for your chance to snatch up one of the 9000 pairs of Adidas Yeezys available at launch. Are you ready to depart with $350?
Um, no, not me. Not for these kicks that look like something a Stormtropper would wear on his off days while on the court. Yeah, they look comfortable, but the Air Jordan 11 eyelets hit too close to home making it seem like the Yeezys are blatantly copying a popular design. Now then, if I got these for free, call me a Stormtrooper on my off day at the courts. 😉
Or if Yeezy himself delivered the goods…
Anyone Awake from the Wind
Who else work up very early on Valentine’s Day due to the blustery winds hitting Oahu? I’m afraid to go outside to see the aftermath of this onslaught.
Are You Ready for #StarbucksDate
To kick off Valentine’s Day, Starbucks is enticing you to go on a #StarbucksDate. On February 13 from 2pm to closing, Starbucks is offering paired items at a discounted cost. Invite a loved one then share your #StarbucksDate experience online at the atstarbucks Tumblr site.
Are you ready for your #StarbucksDate? These cups will be waiting…
Thrillist Ranks Every Starbucks Drink
I’m not so addicted as to attempt what Thrillist has done – ordering and ranking every drink on a Starbucks regular menu. Keep in mind this ranking is on the regular stuff, not the seasonal specials. I won’t spoil the list since you should check it out yourself, but here are some of my comments.
My personal go-to drink, the Caramel Macchiato (hot) came in at a disappointing #33 with the iced version ranking at #25. I don’t drink Refreshers or any teas so I have no opinion on these.
I’ve rediscovered my current favorite, the Starbucks Doubleshot on Ice. Freshly made, this drink can’t be beat. It tastes great, is relatively inexpensive, and is low on calories. You gotta be ready for the caffeine kick though, and sadly once the drink starts getting watered down as the ice melts, its flavor profile changes. The recently added Flat White is surprisingly way up there on the ranked list although I don’t disagree. It must be the whole milk that smooths everything out.
Anyways, it’s a fun list to look at and see where your favorite Starbucks drink falls.
Toyota Corolla Commercial Trickery
Caught this television commercial for the 2015 Toyota Corolla. Titled “Bring the Magic,” it’s a great looking advertisement but is misleading with the fictitious projection of the dinosaurs against the tunnel wall. Is that feature available in the new Corolla? No, I don’t think so, and the only warning about this trickery is the subtitle of “Dramatization. Do not attempt.”
Doing Some Maintenance
Don’t mind things around here for a bit. Doing some maintenance to see if I can address a problem that I was unaware of previously.
The Return of the Starbucks Raspberry Mocha
With Valentines Day coming up, Starbucks is promoting their corresponding hashtag, #StarbucksDate, on their Tumblr site. Check out the animated image that shows the return of the Raspberry Mocha.
Looks like Starbucks debuted their Raspberry Mocha back in 2007. Unfortunately for me, this drink did not meet my high expectation at the time. Will it be any better eight years later?
But going back to #StarbucksDate. On Friday, February 13, 2015 after 2pm, Starbucks is offering a variety of pairings for you and your loved one. Maybe the Raspberry Mocha will taste better with a Heart Cookie?
