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.  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.

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. 😉

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?

I Lost the Dongs

,

Awww, it was right there. The 98.5 Wake Up Crew coming down the court. Rory, playing the role of Chris Paul, was leading the break. Then there was the lob to Blake Griffin aka Gregg Hammer for the throwdown.

Robert “Crazimero” singing Elton John’s greatest hits – I ride the dongs!

My iphone had Voice Memos fired up, and I had it all recorded. But… I took my iPhone to the Apple Genius Bar to get checked out. They asked if I wanted to reset my phone and I said yes – losing this morning’s I Ride the Dongs. Boo! 🙁

But if you want to hear it historically, here’s an older version.

What’s in Common?

Sorry, it’s just the way I’m wired, but when I saw this at Ross Dress for Less, I wanted to understand what’s in common that warranted this grouped display. Why are men’s underwear grouped with bags, carrying cases, and sacks?

Gilly Hicks Is Dramatic

, ,

Went into Gilly Hicks at Ala Moana for the first time. My first impression was one of drama. First the throng of good looking people hanging out at the doorway, welcoming us in. Dude, you can put your shirt on, you know. Oh wait, you can’t. Those abs need to be viewable in the public, I forgot.

Then I was instantly deaf. I see why there’s that welcoming throng outside. Once you step in the store, the disco decible music slams your ears. We asked an employee where to buy a gift card, and three feet away, I couldn’t hear a word she said.

So then, we ambled through the maze of rooms and barely there clothes, finally finding the registers way in the (quiet) back. Along this sensory overloaded path, I did think the interior lighting of Gilly Hicks was appropriately dramatic. Here are some clothes in that lighting. I couldn’t bring myself to snap a pic of undies with shoppers walking around me.
