Hawaii Starbucks Are Now For Real
Hawaii Starbucks are now real Starbucks after the parent company bought out its local partner, Coffee Partners Hawaii. So now employees are full fledged Starbucks workers.
For the customers, everything should be coffee as usual. Although I wonder when Starbucks International will offer the same menu as Starbucks. You can’t find the new Cinnamon Dolce Latte at the local Starbucks which are of the International variety. Maybe at the Airport location which for some reason is affiliated with the domestic Starbucks.

Pictures from Lost in Mililani
Got a few pictures of Josh Holloway while Lost was filming in Mililani Mauka.
Heard he was a cool dude and took lots of pictures with the fans who were waiting. Glad he doesn’t hold a grudge against Hawaii after being robbed at home and all.
How Many Starbucks on Oahu?
I’m not as smart as this guy’s Starbucks Center of Gravity, so I just looked up the number of Starbucks we have in Hawaii, specifically on Oahu.
If I count correctly, there are 38 Oahu locations you can get your caffeine fix at!
Here’s the general breakdown:
- Honolulu 15
- Leeward 11
- Waikiki 9
- Windward 3
- Kalihi 0
Okay, okay, I added that Kalihi part, but did you notice that there’s no SBux in Kalihi?

Poll Pau: Are Private School Alumni Cocky?
The “Are Private School Alumni Cocky?” poll has ended, and the results are in. The people have spoken and said we are cocky.
60% of the responses say we’re cocky with a single no vote! One single vote! 30% of the votes say we’re all equals. Six of the voters went to public school and four went to private school. Hmmmm, kinda suspicious, 60% public school responses and 60% of the votes for cockiness?
I tried running the numbers in various ways to doctor the results but just couldn’t disprove our cockiness. Fellow private school alumni, let’s face the facts that we’re cocky. 🙁
Poll: Are Private School Alumni Cocky?
The Tabasco Man lit a match, and I’m going to fuel the fire with this poll that asks: –>
After voting, please add a comment (anonymous is fine) indicating whether you went to public or private school. You can be specific about the school if you want.
Poll closes on January 15. Flame on!
Starbucks is Infant-friendly
Hot water. Never knew how important it was and how hard it is to find. Heating up milk or preparing baby formula? Need the hot water. Pay for a cup of hot water? Youch!
But there’s Starbucks. Lots of hot beverages there. Lots of Starbucks springing up all over the place. Must be a good place to find hot water. Free? Alright. Tall, Grande, or Venti? Even better. Warm or piping hot? Unreal.
So pop your Clomids, use your Woman C ovulation thermometer and DIY Male Fertility Kit, and get your groove on cause Starbucks will be there when you need hot water for your child.
Lost Filming in Mililani Mauka
Through pulpconnections, learned that the hit TV show Lost is currently filming in the Mililani Mauka area.
Watch out for the speedsters!
.Mac Update During Macworld??
As posted by Macrumors.com, the dot Mac (.Mac) Internet services are scheduled for an outage on January 10 where all services will be affected.
Hmmm… January 10, the start of Macworld Expo where Steve Jobs is giving his keynote speech. An update to .Mac perhaps? Related to the possible bandwidth upgrade or iWeb?
Windward Mall Getting Renovated
Windward Mall is getting a much needed facelift with a $23-million renovation planned for the Summer of 2006. The last renovation was in 1982 when JC Penneys was the hottest place to shop.
Yeah, we know about the opening of Ruby Tuesdays and IHOP and the return of Farrells. A 22,000-square foot bookstore is also planned. Hmm.. not sure about the viability of that one. How about a few more $1 stores for good measure? And how about a coffee place like Starbucks (oops, across the street already), Coffee Bean, or Seattle’s Best?
I’ve called Windward Mall a (financial) deathtrap in the past, but with these improvements, it’ll be a swanky deathtrap instead.

New Year’s Fireworks
Fireworks on the Windward side was pretty tame last night. Of course, lots of smoke, but I’ve seen worse. Had a few nice aerial shows, but I think that Police helicopter circling around put a stop them.

How was the fireworks in your area? I wonder if kazuo fought the commercialism of New Years as well?
