Signs of Hawaii: Cube, Block, Crush Ice
This freezer unit with cube, block, and crush ice surely has character!
From the set of Pirates of the Caribbean 4.
Life
Thar Be Skeletons, Capn Jack!
Went to check out the hoopla at Heeia Kea Pier in Kaneohe, the filming site of Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides. Though Captain Jack Sparrow, aka Johnny Depp was no where around, the crowds were still coming. We lucked out with parking right at the pier side and stayed for about 15 minutes.
From the distant public viewing area, you couldn’t see very much of the Queen Anne’s Revenge. Lots of props and equipment blocked a clean view of the ship, and those were skeleton props in the cage hanging from the ship’s stern.
The little deli/supply store at the pier must have had more business than ever during the filming. The panoramic picture was created using Boinx Labs You Gotta See This.
Signs of Hawaii: Keep the Country Cropped
Not sure if these bumper stickers are still there at the Windward end of the Pali, but someone wants to make sure we keep the country cropped.
Signs of Hawaii: Las Vegas, Paris, Tokyo, Waimanalo
Not sure where I saw this sign, but I thought it was entertaining:
Las Vegas • Paris • Tokyo • Waimanalo
First Search Result for Sears Kenmore Power Miser 9 Water Heater
I googled “kenmore power miser 9” and this is the first search result.
Not a good sign for our Power Miser 9 and its pilot light that’s been going out recently.
In July 2009…
In July 2009, the family enjoyed the hospitality of the Four Season Lanai, staying at Manele Bay and the Lodge at Koele for a wedding. And who knew the Four Seasons has an active social networking campaign, engaging customers on Twitter and even giving Twitter treats!
In July 2009, the Hawaii State Farm Fair featured a watermelon eating contest which my brother-in-law dominated. Witness.
In July 2009, Pulpconnection had serious technical issues so I upgraded to Dreamhost Private Servers and have been loving it.
In July 2009, Bytemarks presented his informal list of Top 20 Social Media Geeks in Hawaii, and I’m still honored to be recognized.
In July 2009, I saw Jorge Garcia from LOST… again.
Such a busy time was July of 2009. See all the posts from July 2009.
I Can Has the Honeys!
Look what our local Safeway had in stock, Coffee-mate’s new Honey Vanilla Creme! I’ve been looking for this for awhile, even during my search for epic.
Note to Coffee-mate, you can update your Where to Buy tool and show this product’s hit Hawaii. 🙂
My Drobo Has EARS
Must be my weak mind or penchant for deals, but I couldn’t resist getting a Western Digital drive that was a featured Amazon deal. What I didn’t know at the time was this drive is a new “4K” EARS drive.
But no matter! With the newest Drobo firmware and software, 4K drives are supported and sure enough, my Drobo recognized the extra storage capacity after a few seconds. So now, my Drobo has EARS.
Top Traffic Sources for Pulpconnection
For June through July 2010, here are the top traffic sources for Pulpconnection according to Google Analytics.
- Google organic search
- Google.com referral
- Bing
- Yahoo
- Feedburner
- Gleesongs.com
- widget.linkwithin.com
- google.ca
The visits from Google dwarf Bing and Yahoo by a factor of ten. I’m surprised to see Feedburner that high on the list. Not sure what’s up with Gleesongs.com. Interestingly enough the visual linkwithin widget is contributing to traffic, more so than Twitter. Facebook wasn’t in the top 10 but came in at #14.
