Will You Be “Kaepernicking” During the Superbowl?
On Superbowl Sunday, will you be Kaepernicking the scores of the San Francisco 49ers? What’s Kaepernicking? Strike this pose after a touchdown, and you’re Kaepernicking.
Pulp
Get the “Full” Starbucks Experience at Home
The full Starbucks experience extends beyond just the coffee. Sure, Starbucks triggers all your senses with coffee, but the ordering and delivery of your coffee is also part of the experience. Saturday Night Live spoofs this aspect by poking fun at an “enhanced” version of the home brewing Verismo. Apparently, you don’t need to be a wise guy with your name.
At the Coach Outlet
I think I’ve only been inside the Coach Outlet at Waikele once or twice since they’ve been in business, so I didn’t know what to expect. I found some interesting things.
Everyone needs one of these in your wardrobe
Love the overall look of the store’s interoir
What costs more, the hat or the mittens?
Only had iPhone 4 cases
A $10 vs $60 umbrella
Overall, I was flabbergasted by the prices. I expected expensive handbags and wallets but was blown away by the cost of the accessories. How much better can a $60 umbrella protect you from rain? A basic iPhone case on sale for $48?! And it’s only for the older iPhone 4/4S, not the newer 5. What costs more, a colorful hat or a pair of mittens with a leather strap? It’s a trick question; they cost the same at nearly $100 each! I need to get that fur lined hat – just because everyone in Hawaii needs one in his wardrobe.
Okay, the store’s interior is great. It’s clean, sleek, spacious, organized well, and very bright. I have to give kudos to the store’s “deejay.” I loved all the upbeat songs played which (I think) helps get people in the buying mindset. I had never heard of Surfer Blood or I Blame Coco before, but listen to these songs to convince yourself you need that $60 umbrella.

Even Spoons Get Tired
Seemingly even spoons get tired and need a rest every now and then. I’m guessing that’s why products like this exist, Tumbleweed Spoon Rest
Japanese Spitz Christmas Ornament
Are you looking for Christmas ornaments designed with the Japanese Spitz dog breed in mind? Well, this isn’t the post for you! I’m just checking out how fast Google can index a post on an obscure topic. Or is Christmas ornaments featuring a specific dog breed? For all I know Japanese Spitz ornaments might be all the rage! They do make cute puppies though.
D, this is for you. 😉
Merry Christmas 2012
Merry Christmas to all the pulpy readers out there enjoying the holiday season. As Pulpconnection tradition, I’d be remiss if I didn’t show my favorite Christmas gift prank video of all time! This is a classic that’s approaching 15,000 views. Reminisce with me, and you’ll agree that was one cruel prank!

While that video is full of awesomeness, here’s an awesomer Christmas bonus for 2012. There is a lesson within so watch and learn…

A Sign of the Apocalypse
While our reality did not encounter the Mayan-foretold end of the world, the world of the Autobots must be in turmoil. I discovered this gruesome battle scene where it appears the Autobots leader Optimus Prime met his doom. Prime was wiped out by a swarm of Swifters!
Rally Autobots, rally!
I’ve Been Yelp-pinned!
Thanks to the confident Q-chi, I have a mini-collection of Yelp Elite mini buttons.
Yay! Thanks and Happy Holidays to Yelp (Hawaii).
Because Every Door Needs Swag
Say what? Swag for your door? I was thinking this kind of swag, not this holiday foliage type.
Well, if your door needs swag (traditional or arrogant), Safeway got your back.
The New University of California Logo Is Interesting
The new UC logo is interesting if not controversial. While I do think an updated look is in order, the new monogram might be a tad too progressive. I do like how this video explains the design inspirations.

I think the initial choice of colors might have made the new look harder to embrace, but I do like the color variations shown in the video.
But really, how can this logo compete with the good old Anteater of UC Irvine? Now this is a logo (and mascot)!
Just last year, my other alma mater underwent a similar update with its school logo. Joining the traditional, circular seal is this clean, modern logo.
From a visual point of view, the newer UC (and Iolani) logos are much easier to use and see. The details of the crest and seals just aren’t discernible. I think some killer logo items would quickly change opinions about the UC monogram. Can’t wait to see some new UCI gear.
