Confession: I Groped LEGO
I confess. During the past two lunch breaks, I have been groping LEGO, specifically the Series 7 Minifigure packages.
Pulp
Looking for @abaggy
At lunch, went to see if @abaggy was working at his usual haunt.
Nope, he wasn’t there singing “We Are Young.”
Nuuanu Get One Tesla
Spotted this Tesla Roadster car in Nuuanu headed Windward bound.
Hmm, that’s two Tesla sightings now. Is there a hidden message ala Ryan Kanno?
Update: I thought it was a Tesla Roadster at first glance. Now, I’m not so sure.
Abercrombie and Fitch Model
Here’s what I saw at the entrance of Abercrombie and Fitch. Love that tourist “model.”
Not sure about the lighting on the poster’s face, purposeful or accidental?
Didn’t Wait for Fabio
There was a line to meet the personification of romance aka Fabio at Whole Foods Market Kailua so I bailed. Can you spot Fabio in the picture?
Kapaa Get One Tesla
So there’s one Tesla Roadster, and from its license plate, it or the owner is from Kapaa, Kauai.
L&L Barbecue Opening in China?
If I understand this right, L&L Barbecue is opening shop in China.
Wonder if the loco moco will be a hit?
What Does It Mean @ryankanno?
There is something there, but what is it? It can’t be pure coincidence. Something kismet is at work trying to tell me something. What is it that Ryan Kanno is trying to tell me?
All his messages came in a burst of a week. A tofu katsu. Then seeing Mr. Kanno’s coworkers and running into acquaintance, @parkrat. Next day, another inference with @worldwideed and his VH07V gear. The day after I was wearing gear from Threadless which by the way, Ryan introduced me to. Â So it didn’t faze me when the week ended walking around Kanno’s alma mater.
All this while I was attending a Microsoft SharePoint developers class. Hmmm… then this tweet.
[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/ryankanno/status/193538222616363008″]
And then it was clear. I had no idea what his tweet meant. Zip. Nada, and I didn’t care about developer tools. There was the message – I’m no developer. It’s not my passion. Visual Studio, Git, MonoDevelop, my eyes glaze over. If you want to talk athletes and their shoes then I come alive, and that’s all Ryan Kanno was trying to tell me. Stick with your passions, let them guide you, and don’t be something you’re not.
Thanks, Mr. Kanno. You do work in mysterious ways. 😉
Somehow This Is Not Surprising
Kailua is no longer the top choice for Oahu’s next landfill location due to a data error. Â Somehow this is not surprising.
Or maybe Ikaika Anderson deserves a +1.
We Are Young at Gilly Hicks
Why is it I think of Fun’s We Are Young when I pass by Gilly Hicks in Ala Moana?
Can’t Escape @ryankanno
Another day, another inference to @ryankanno. Today, I wore my VH07V shirt, designed and distributed by World Wide Ed.
Then it hit me! Thinking back, I was introduced to Ed by none other than Mr. Kanno. Don’t you get the feel that @ryankanno is the center of the universe, and we’re all bodies orbiting around him?
A Week of @ryankanno
It all started with a tofu katsu.
While searching for recommendations at Sam’s Delicatessen, I came across @ryankanno’s recommended dish, the tofu katsu.
So we ordered it. Yeah, pretty good for a vegetarian dish.
Then Monday. I’m in a training class with other former Kanno coworkers. Hmmm.
Then Tuesday. While in class, a scruffy guy walks by. It’s none other than @parkrat who I was introduced to by Mr. Kanno.
That’s three days, and three inferences to Ryan. Is it some kind of sign? Wonder what the rest of the week will bring?
