Because “Accessories” Is Too Tough
Saw this sign advertising the availability of “Cell Phone Stuff” and had to smile.
Yeah, “stuff” is an okay usage, but it seems like “accessories” is the more preferred term out there.

Nerds Are Hot!
After watching GoDaddy’s #thekiss commercial during Super Bowl XLVII, nerdiness has taken a different light. Jesse Heiman, who played the nerd to Bar Refaeli’s beauty, is getting more attention from the ladies and even more action from Jay Leno.
Much thanks to @abaggy.
When Kinky Rolls Up to You…
So what do you do when Kinky rolls up next to you? I brought out my iPhone and made a panorama picture of the kinkiness in its full glory.
A “Rari-tree”
If you’ve driven on the Pali Highway in the new year, you’ve passed by a very rare “tree.” This rari-tree (get it, rarity and tree?) is at the entry way to the Nuuanu Reservoir. Watch this video and see if you can spot the “tree.”

Regardless of its camouflage, mobile customers must appreciate this abomination of nature.
New Ice Bag
My vintage blue ice bag finally gave way, springing a small leak somewhere. You know that generic blue ice bag, probably every household has one from who knows when. So I got a new one and found many options on Amazon. They all work the same, but now they have some color and personality to them.
Chuckling at the Jabra Solemate
Yeah, I’m a lover of kicks aka sneakers but even with this penchant, I have to question and chuckle at the design of the Jabra Solemate portable speaker. According to reviews, this small unit is tough and can deliver the tunes. But with its ridged base, well, this speaker looks like a shoe or a boot – interesting but not necessarily advancing the fashion trend. The ridged sole is functional, hiding an audio cable.
Although the Solemate looks funky (even to this shoehead), it’s gotten good reviews for its price point. So if you’re not swimming in the million$, be sure to give the Solemate a listen
What Is Brown Candy?
Just what is “Brown Candy?” I should have opened the box to find out. Now I’m intrigued by this simple but non-informative name.
Butter… Then and Now
My how butter has changed over the years. Take a look at this crock pot made for Kaukauna Klub butter. While it sounds Hawaiian, Kaukauna is from the the South Kaukauna Dairy Company in Kaukauna, Wisconsin! We found this sturdy clay crock while rummaging through old stuff and is dated 1933.
Interestingly, that Kaukauna Klub name is kinda weird if you ask me. Just alliteration or is there more to the string of KkK?
Today’s “butter” looks something like this…
You spread this body butter on your skin for the “ultimate sexy sensation.”
Which butter do you prefer?
Hostess’ Last Stand
I have seen with my very own eyes a lost American icony. Yes, I am talking about Hostess-made treats, specifically Hostess Cupcakes, unopened, in mint condition, with the expiration date good until mid-February. I have not seen Hostess treats in a big box since the days of plenty.
Where was this rarity discovered? In Guam. And brought back to the Hawaiian Islands unscathed. Miraculous!
Was That a Moving Pick?
It’s the NBA so it’s okay if picks and screens shift around a tad. But really, the magic is the finish by James Harden.
Though you have to give it to your teammates who do the dirty work like setting screens.
My Third Tweet
I finally got the option to download all my tweets as an archive and looked through the early days. Here is my third ever tweet.

Yeah, that’s some riveting stuff there I tell you. For all of 2007, I posted 33 tweets, 23 of which were in my first month of use (June 2007).
