Mad Men-ed Myself
AMC’s official site for the series Mad Men has a ton of bonuses. One of the fun extras is making your own Mad Men character. Give it a try at madmenyourself.com.
Here’s what I came up with. That’s supposed to be me, an Asian in the 60’s, going to Don Draper’s office. 😉
UH Warriors Have the Aloha Spirit
You gotta give it to former UH Warriors football stars who keep the Aloha spirit alive. What happens when a keiki Warrior fan spies Colt Brennan at a recent neighborhood gathering? He asks for an autograph of course.
Not tainted by the high makamaka as an NFL-er, Colt signs without hesitation.
Even cooler, Colt goes back to his party and also gets the signatures of Malcolm Lane,
Davone Bess,
and Ryan Mouton.
Thanks for keeping the Aloha spirit alive, guys! And no, I did not play the part of a “keiki Warrior fan” in this story.
Free Glee!
Almost, but not quite here yet, but Glee is offering Lea Michele singing On My Own for free on iTunes. I say almost since the current link is still charging for the song.
By Tuesday, the song should be free with glee.
Dancing with the Stars Is Reloaded
August 17 is here and that means the Season 9 cast of Dancing with the Stars is restocked, reloaded, and ready to rumba. Who’s going up against Carrie Ann, Bruno, Len, and the whims of the public?
- Melissa Joan Hart – actress and a teenage witch
- Kelly Osbourne – daughter of Ozzy
- Mya – Ghetto Superstar who’s Fallen
- Macy Gray – singer with a ton of hair
- Ashley Hamilton – a he, not a she, and was married to Shannen Doherty (who I’d rather see on this show)
- Aaron Carter – boy band member trying to make it as an adult
- Donny Osmond – more disruptive drama from the Osmond family
- Debi Mazar – from Entourage, the cable show, not the Microsoft email application for the Mac
- Mark Dacascos – is he Asian? He’s born in Hawaii though.
- Tom DeLay – politician indicted for finance violations
- Kathy Ireland – supermodel and kicker in Necessary Roughness
- Joanna Krupa – sexiest model of the world, nuff said
- Louie Vito – professional snowboarder
- Natalie Coughlin – Olympic swimmer
- Michael Irvin – Hall of Famer from the Dallas Cowboys
- Chuck Liddell – The Iceman from the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) who better nail the aggressive paso doble
My random pick to succeed is Mya who might still have a following and some dancing skills.
Connor is a Mad Men?
After reading several rave reviews about Mad Men, I started watching the series (okay just one episode so far). Not knowing anything about the show, I was surprised to a see a familiar face in the form of Connor from Angel. Vincent Kartheiser plays wannabe Mad Men Pete Campbell who needs to work on containing his id.
With season 3 starting up, I have a lot of catching up to do! Get to work Tivo!
Checking Out Black Eyed Peas Pics
Wow, more great shots from @oriata! First, she got some snaps at the No Doubt concert, and now she powershot-ed the Black Eyed Peas at the packed Bayfest.
Here’s Fergie.
And what’s with those “finger gloves?”
Ready to (Re)Think Hawaii?
In November, an international group of entrepreneurs and investors will convene in Hawaii in order to rethink tech, business, and sustainability. Dubbed (RE)THINK HAWAII, this cross section of skills and interests will feature “panels, lunches, excursions, dinners, cocktails and aloha style exchange of ideas and relationship building in Hawaii.”
And yes, while an international gathering, the event organizers include Hawaii’s very own Neenz, Melanie, Bruce, and Yaling. Read about all the organizers involved.
Attendance to this event is limited to 200 participants, and you must be invited to attend. If you’re interested and can contribute to this nexus, you can request an invitation.
Details are still forthcoming, so follow rethinkhawaii on Twitter to keep up with the latest RE(THINK) HAWAII news.

Don’t Jump the Shark, Glee!
After showing a clip of Push It, Glee has released yet another teaser from the upcoming season. This time, Mr. Schuester, goes Kanye with Gold Digger.
Behind the Scenes of "Gold Digger"!
Again, I’m hoping the series doesn’t spill all its greatness by jumping the shark with teasers before the series kicks off in September.
