Work on AlienNinja.TV
Help the Alien Ninja become a reality! The production company, Dog & Rooster, is looking for an intern to work on the fiction-comedy web series.
So you won’t get paid, but how can you resist working with an alien ninja?!
Pulp
Pulpconnection Goes Pink
In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Pulpconnection is temporarily going pink. My usual lime header now features a pink grapefruit along with pink typefaces.
My Faith in Tomorrow’s Youth Restored
The future is bright when kids vote Steve Jobs as the most admired entrepreneur over the Olsen twins. Yes, my faith in tomorrow’s youth is restored.
PowerPoint Rangers Need Only Apply
PowerPoint Karaoke gives a whole new meaning to PowerPoint Ranger! I thought there was skill in mastering the nuances of Microsoft’s bane aka PowerPoint, but PPTk changes all of that.
PPTk ain’t about the PPT itself but presenting the PPT that you’ve seen for the first time. Yup, PowerPoint Karaoke participants are given a random set of PowerPoint slides and must present them. That’s tough!
You think you’re up to the challenge? Try your presentation skills at Hawaii’s first PowerPoint Karaoke coming up on October 17. Sounds like a delicious disaster waiting to happen, and oh, don’t forget to recite your PowerPoint Ranger Creed before your presentation:
This is my PowerPoint. There are many like it but mine is 97.
My PowerPoint is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life.
My PowerPoint without me is useless. Without my PowerPoint, I am useless.
I must format my slides true. I must brief them better than the other staff sections who are trying to out brief me.
I must brief the impact on the CINC before he asks me. I will.
My PowerPoint and myself know that what counts in this war is not the number of slides, the colors of the highlights, nor the format of the bullets. We know that it is the new information that counts. We will brief only new information.
My PowerPoint is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its fonts, its accessories, its formats, and its colors.
I will keep my PowerPoint slides current and ready to brief. We will become part of each other. We will…
Before God I swear this creed. My PowerPoint and myself are defenders of my country. We are the masters of our subject. We are the saviors of my career.
So be it, until victory is America’s and there is no enemy, but peace (and the next exercise!)
Meet the KIA Soul
Have you seen the new KIA Soul, a new way to roll? Looks like another mini crossover following the Scion xB and Nissan Cube.
Um, nah, I’ll pass on a new way to roll. But the Soul’s web site is eclectic with sheep and swimming fish.
Spotted at Ala Moana
What did I spot at Ala Moana this past weekend? How about this $175 Juicy bag for a grandmother?
Not your thing? How about some Nike Lunarglides?
And in case you forget, here’s a shirt to remind you.
Awesome (and expensive) Star Wars Lego.
And Legos are cool! Just ask Naveen Andrews aka Sayid on LOST who picked up some kits. Yes, that is really him. I recognize him from the last time. And no, I didn’t want to bug him for a picture during his family time in a crowded toy store full of people.
And as I was leaving while eating a wicked Haagen-Dazs Dazzler, I saw this tweet.
Fitness by Trapeze or Hooping?
Who woulda thought that a trapeze bar or a hula hoop would be the latest ways to get into shape? Read about Jukari Fit to Fly and Hooping.
Victoria’s Secret Toting Your Bible?
In celebration of Victoria’s Secret grand opening in Hawaii at Ala Moana, I offer this somewhat disturbing juxtaposition.
Yes, that’s a Victoria’s Secret bag toting The Good Book! Is “Give me sexy” a verse from Psalm?
Here Comes the New Dora
The new Dora the Explorer is starting to make her appearance in the public. This week’s Target ad features the online and interactive Dora Links Doll game with Dora’s revamped look.
Use Facebook and Twitter to Become Rich
Not in some kind of Internet marketing strategy, but as an indirect means of upping your status. You see, in the past, it was users of Google search and Gmail who were characterized as wealthy and rich (and young).
Now, there’s been a shift to Facebook and Twitter. A recent study shows that FB-ers and Tweeters have more money and tend to live in urban areas. So the obvious correlation is that if you too want to have more money, you have to ditch MySpace and start using Facebook and also tweeti like there’s no tomorrow.
