Fighting with MobileMe Passwords
Thought it was something I did, but looks like I ain’t the only one fighting with MobileMe passwords. Looks like the iOS 4.2.1 update triggered something. On top of that, there’s been that nuance of mac.com and me.com usernames – looks the same but I think they’re actually different.
Have to resync my computers all over again.
Almost Time to Join the RevoluSun
Technically, we joined the RevoluSun, but installation of our photovoltaic solar panels isn’t quite finished. Soon…
Signs of Hawaii: Goats 4 Sale
I thought a sign advertising Goats 4 Sale was isolated to the Windward countryside, but no. Apparently goat sales are popular on the Leeward side too.
The advertising must have worked since the signs are no longer there.
The Scene
Here’s the scene where it went down but at a quieter time.
We visit the Kailua Open Market from time to time, but it looks like I missed the action.
Remembering Rainbows of the Past
Thanks to the Greatest Legal Mind Ever, we had courtside seats for the Rainbow Classic back in the day. We sat on the baseline by the hoops and ragged the awesome opposition. Good times!
Here’s a blurry pic of big man, Tony Maroney.
And is this the Big Nasty, Corliss Williamson, from Arkansas?
Update: Talk about full circle. I only learned that Corliss Williamson is the head coach for Central Arkansas who the Rainbows play tonight. And the year the above pictures were taken was the first year of the Sheriff Center.
Remembering Italy
Trying to remember at least. I can’t recall where I took this picture while touring Italy. Was it Burano?
Holiday Gift Guide: BackBlaze Backups
Consider this gift for yourself. In this day and age of digital content, you absolutely need a backup of your hard drive. You never know when your drive will fail and trust me, it will. A local backup drive is a good start (especially if you’re running Time Machine via Mac OS X) but the next step for your backup plan is off-site, online backups.
I’ve been using BackBlaze, and it’s been going well so far. It literally took months for the initial online backup to complete, but I kinda expected as much moving over 260-GB worth of data. After the initial backup, new files and updates are continuously backed up in no time.
Cost is very reasonable at $95 for a two year plan so that’s like $50 a year for peace of mind that your data is safely stored in times of emergencies.
Give a gift to yourself and sign up for BackBlaze.
Blog Less, Get More Views?
Blogging around here has been sporadic but surprisingly, page views and visits have been increasing. Is this a delayed response from previous months when I was blogging more, or is this more indicative that blogging less gets more views? Hmmm…
Waimanalo Has a Pumpkin Patch
Out on the Windward side tucked away near the Ko’olau Range is Waimanalo Country Farms. Starting this year, this family farm started their own pumpkin patch for kids to pick carvable pumpkins.
Not as sprawling as the popular Aloun Farms pumpkin patch, the Waimanalo Pumpkin Patch is a good alternative for the Windward side. Although the farm is smaller, there are lots of pumpkins, a hay ride, a corn maze, and additional activities for the kids.
Here are some pics of what you can expect.
What else is in the Waimanalo area? Check out Dwellable.com to find out.
Memory Cards Are Cheap
Wow, the cost of memory cards have gotten really cheap. A 16-GB SDHC memory card at Class 10 speeds is only $25! Even if it doesn’t fully achieve Class 10 speeds, should be just as fast as Class 6 cards.
