Why Doesn’t the TVPad m121 Have Wifi?
Seriously? After online research, I’ve painfully discovered the TVPad m121 does not support Wifi. Not sure if there’s no hardware built into the AppleTV Gen2 looking device, or if the hardware is not software enabled. In either case, makes streaming Internet television much harder without convenient Wifi connectivity. Time to spend more money and set up a Wifi bridge. Absolutely lame.
Disney Store Going Abercrombie & Fitch?
When I walked into the newly renovated Disney Store, I saw this display that reminded me of Abercrombie & Fitch. Gotta put a shirt on that mannequin!
And no, I did not see any Disney cast members doing push ups or squats.
Alaskan Scavenger Hunt
We posed the challenge once before, and it’s again time to set @abaggy off on a pictorial scavenger hunt. Can he find and snap pictures from the following list:
Alaskan Scavenger Hunt
- Dessert
- A scenic view
- Shipboard entertainment
- A towel sculpture
- Two different ethnicities of food
- A workout room
- “Wildlife” (could be interpreted many ways)
- Cold
- Gluttony

Bonus
- Crepuscular rays (aka God’s rays). See example on right.
- Mankini (could be his own)
I’ll make it easier by giving him an open interpretation of the items on the list. Can he complete his mission?
Seals Love Starbucks?
Who knew Hawaiian monk seals enjoy their Starbucks just as much as we do?

Actually, an overexcited (and unsupervised) youngster was trying to climb up to get a better view of the seal. In the process, his drink went over the railing. Fortunately, the aged seal didn’t really show an interest in the (empty) cup, and the staff workers were able to retrieve the cup without incident.
Jeremy Lin Spoke to Me
After a recent, tiring run, I thought I was hallucinated. I heard Jeremy Lin speaking to me. He was congratulating me on my workout. Oh wait, that was JLin speaking through the Nike+ system.
Instead of congratulating me on my run, I would rather JLin tell me he’s giving me a pair of his custom kicks.
Zune Is Gone… Again and Finally
If you thought Microsoft’s Zune was gone, you were wrong… until today. While Microsoft stop producing Zune players, the Zune brand name was still around.
Today, the Zune name is no longer.
Theme of Ultra Music?
I love the Ultra series of music – Weekend, Trance, Dance. There’s always good music and mixes with Ultra. But there seems to be a theme with their CD covers. Can you spot the theme of Ultra music?
Quality Control and Chopsticks
Here’s a riddle for you. What do you get when quality control fails on disposable chopsticks?
Answer – you get a stick or at least, half of a working chopsticks pair. I got this defective chopsticks today. I couldn’t pry the two halves apart. There was no break or seam with both sticks completely stuck together.
