Katy Perry, a Christian Gospel Singer?
I never knew pop diva Katy Perry’s musical past, so it was a shock to learn she started off as Katy Hudson, a Christian Gospel singer. After a tepid response to her first release, she underwent a “pivot,” became Katy Perry, and look at her recording sales now.
Here’s the pivoted Katy singing with Elmo (in a dress too small).
Thanks to Chad Ochocinco and His Stolen Starbucks Gold Card
First off, I am bummed that NFL receiver Chad Ochocinco lost his Starbucks Gold Card in a recent car break in. While his iPod and wallet were taken, the wallet was later found with credit cards and license in place. Just his personalized Starbucks Gold Card from the Starbucks Rewards program was missing. The card was charged up with $220 too! 🙁 Hear Chad lament his missing card.
But this does explain an anomaly seen here on Pulpconnection. Today sees a significant surge in traffic going to this post from 2009, Starbucks Gold Is Now Starbucks Rewards.
Seems like there are quite a few concerned Starbucks Gold Card members who are following Chad’s plight. But don’t fret, Starbucks replaced Chad’s card so he doesn’t have to eat all those lemon loaves again.
Signs of Hawaii: Plenty Parking
With the welcomed addition of Whole Foods Market in Kailua, there are more and more shoppers cramming into the Kainalu Plaza retail area. But don’t you worry about the parking situation as assured by these signs.
But did you spot the grammatical faux pas? It’s subtle, and for us in Hawaii, the improper use has become colloquial commonplace. So what is it?
There’s an “of” missing in “Plenty additional free parking.” It should be “Plenty of additional free parking,” but in local lingo, plenty parking is accepted. What would also make this phrase correct and shorter would be replacing “plenty additional” with “choke.”
Choke free parking.
Heinz Now Selling “Guess What My Bottle Is Made Of?”
I kid you not. Wonder how plants are made into bottles.
Captain America Linked with Fresno?
Did the Asian dude in Captain America: The First Avenger say he was from Fresno, California? That’s just awesome.
Kenneth Choi portrays Jim Morita of Cap’s Howling Commandos. Of the few Marvel superhero movies I’ve watched, I think Captain America might be my favorite. I wasn’t a fan of the shield-wielding hero before, but this flick changed my mind.
Red Velvet… Wine?
Recently, red velvet has been a hot flavor going beyond cakes and cupcakes. Â But red velvet cupcake wine? Â Nah, gotta pass on this one. Doesn’t sound too good.
Oreo Gone Gimmicky
Not sure what’s my infatuation with Oreos, but with all the gimmicks they pull, you have to love their chutzpah. Look at this assortment of Oreos. Not double stuffed Oreos, not tripled stuffed, noooo… there are Triple Double Oreos with three cookie layers and two different filling flavors.
Don’t like the traditional Oreo dark brown? Then you can get the Golden Oreos. Don’t like Oreos in a cookie form? Then Oreo Brownies are for you.
Keep’em coming Nabisco!
The Speed and Expertise of Tweeters
Twitter could very well be the way to get answers to esoteric questions. Â For example, don’t know what this Doritos flavor is. Ask the Twitterverse and get a quick expert reply. Â Follow along…
And the integration of Storify with the Tweetbot iOS client is a good match.
Zappos Has Me Pegged?
I guess if I were a female named Peg then Zappos’ personalized recommendations would make more sense. Here’s what Zappos profiled for my tastes.
I still love Zappos, but I really don’t know how I’ll look in them 7 For All Mankind crop jeans…
Picture of the Day: Tabbed Browsing
I absolutely love the tabbed browsing feature of modern day web browsers. Was it FireFox that first introduced this? Then Safari and Chrome? Somewhere along the way, even Internet Explorer got the tab treatment. As soon as I tried tabs, I was hooked. From my main window, each hyperlink that looked interesting I opened in a new tab. Simple but very effective from having to keep going back in a web browser.
Anyways back to the picture of the day. At work, I found this print out of Internet Explorer welcoming users to tabbed browsing and explaining what tabs can do. Yes, you HAVE to print this page to learn about tabbed browsing.
