All I like is the skin.
What do Amare Stoudemire and Barack Obama have in common? Â They’re both ballers who share a passion for the game. Â In fact, “Barack” makes a cameo in Amare’s latest video.

2009 rang in and Microsoft Zune players around the world stopped working. Due to a glitch with its internal clock, 30GB Zune models froze and would not reset. This “Zune Y2K9” bug should rectify itself by letting the battery die, recharging it, then turning the Zune back on.
Frustrated Zune users, if you’re looking for a change, this guy might have a suggestion.
Just what is “bromance?” MTV defines it as “an intense brotherly bond that makes two buddies become virtually inseparable” and is the center of attention in the new television series aptly named Bromance.
In the show, a few bros perform tests and challenges to see if they can spark bromance with host, Brody Jenner. And just to set the record straight, the bros are straight (though if bromance required some man-loving, I guess the bros would need to be down with that).
If you’re looking for some bromance in the New Year, you can see full episodes online here.
I saw that the KHNL news is now broadcasting in HD but didn’t know when the changeover occurred. Who better to showcase this move to High Definition than KHNL’s own Stephanie Lum?

And let me remind you that Stephanie Lum was the clear winner of the Listmania Hottest Local Newscasters back in 2005!
What caused the Oahu-wide electrical blackout on December 26, 2008? HECO isn’t sure if the outage was caused by lightning damage, but here are some simple (minded) conspiracy theories:
President Elect Barack Obama’s Secret Service detail needed a test. What better way to test the President-to-be’s security than protecting him and his family during a complete blackout away from the confines of a well-known, protected location?
HECO wanted to make a point. Hawaii residents have been complaining about the reliability of our electrical grid every time something happens to our power. Now that homegrown Barack is back in town for the Holidays, why not get HECO’s ailing electrical grid some Presidential attention and maybe, aid.
The Iolani/Punahou rivalry runs deep. During the blackout, Iolani alum and now Hawaii Mayor, Mufi Hannemann continually called Barack Obama who graduated from Punahou to offer assistance to his family. The subtext behind these calls? “Hey Buff and Blue, you’re going to be our next President, but you’re in my house now, the home of the Raiders. Just watch what I can do with my friends (and fellow alumi) over at HECO!” There is no confirmation that Mufi pulled some strings to punk’d Barack with this outage.
Anyone else got their own conspiracy theories to share?
Here’s a family Christmas card to add to your Holiday collection.

I didn’t know Evian had other products other than expensive bottled water. They have expensive canned water that you spray on yourself!
A great gift to keep calm, cool, and refreshed this year is an assortment of Evian mineral water sprays. A few spritzes of this stuff and you won’t be feeling like a scrooge anymore!
Also available at Nordstroms Ala Moana. Never mind the fact that Evian spelled backwards is “naive.”

There’s always that picky person who’s impossible to get a gift for. Here’s something to consider. Get him a space shuttle this Christmas (okay, okay, Christmas of 2010). NASA is retiring space shuttles and is making them available for “purchase” if you have $42 million lying around (and an indoor, controlled facility to store the shuttle).
Not only is having a space shuttle cool, but NASA will deliver it to you for $6 million (which is included in the overall $42 million price tag).
Now this would be a very special gift.
