Minnie Rescued!
Great news! Minnie Mouse has been rescued from her fall at Ala Moana. I suspect Prep & Landing’s Lanny and Wayne were called in during the Christmas off-season to perform the rescue.

“Mak a right”
Hope you made it to Jaden’s party alright. You did “mak a right,” right?
I see it now, the next great mobile app will be a spell checker. Using Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, you’ll be able to use your camera phone to look at any text. Then you’ll see the augmented display with the infamous Microsoft red squiggly line under misspelled words. It’d mak a fortune right?
Think Different or Think Microsoft Dynamic CRM?
For some reason, as I was reading the article 10 Ways to Think Different – Inside Apple’s Cult-Like Culture, I kept thinking that I needed to check out Microsoft’s new Dynamic CRM online service.
I don’t know why, and it wasn’t anything forced, it just fit, you know?
All I Got from a CIT Second Round Game…
…are pictures of the Rainbow Dancers?
That’s what happens when you let the leader of Hawaii’s hottest gentlemen’s club wield your camera during Hawaii’s second round CIT game against San Francisco. Thanks to ESPN radio, we had choice seats in the fifth row where we watched the Bows’ lead vanish in the last minute of play. It was crushing. The Bows were playing tough in their Adidas “Supermoons,” seemingly going to the next round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. Then like that, victory was gone.
Missed free throws, a flagrant foul, a shooting foul on a three, an errant pass, and the deal was sealed. Overall, the Bows had an excellent year after so many unknowns to start the season: injuries, mid-season departures, then more injuries. Going to the Big Dance would have been nice, but for a team picked last in the conference, playing in any post season tournament is an accomplishment. Congratulations to the Rainbows for a great season and can’t wait until the Bows hit the court next year. Until then, a few images from the Rainbows last game.
20,000 Bouncy Ball Drop – I Don’t Get It
So Utah State’s Science Department dropped 20,000 bouncy balls from a helicopter during Geek Week. I don’t get it. Here’s the video.
It’d be more interesting to see people directly under the ball drop and watch them dodge the balls or get pelted to pulp. What I do get is Utah State didn’t do me any favors in my March Madness bracket. 🙁
From Baywatch to the North Shore Barbarian
Good to see Hawaii born actor Jason Momoa still in the game. Starting with Baywatch Hawaii, Jason’s been in North Shore, Stargate Atlantis, and soon enough, he’ll be the new embodiment of Conan the Barbarian.
Is Sign Waving Hawaii’s Next Hot Job Market?
Have you noticed more and more sign wavers out there? Now that the elections are over, you don’t expect to see people along sides of streets waving signs, but they’re there. Is this the next job market for Hawaii?
Sorry, I don’t have pictures to corroborate this, but you know you have your own validating visuals. Have you seen Pizza Hut employees with signs telling you where to get dinner? It’s almost tax time, and I know you’ve stared at those faux Statue of Liberties telling you to file with Liberty Tax. And maybe it’s Spring Break and the kids are out of school, but why are there so many young’ens telling me to eat at Pandas if I’m hungry?
These guys must be on to something!
Hawaii’s “Supermoon” Kicks?
If the University of Hawaii Men’s basketball team wins their second round CIT game against formidable University of San Francisco on Saturday, then Hawaii’s mean green Adidas should be nicknamed the “Supermoons.”
As in the Supermoon that’s happening on Saturday night as the Bows play the Dons. Who’s to say what effects the Supermoon will have?
Guess Where?
I give you two guesses where this is (not the exact location but what chain of stores).
The Decorative Kamehameha Highway?
Driving along Kamehameha Highway in Aiea and Pearl City, I witnessed the awesome decorative display lining the chain link fence that runs the entire median of the road.
The pattern changes every few hundred feet, and I’m sure this does help reduce the headlights of opposing vehicles. But all I can say is, “Wow.” I’m not sure if that’s a Wow! or a Wow?!?
New Muffins at Costco!
It’s been some time since Costco changed up its selection of muffins. For awhile I thought those days were done, but look, there are new flavors! Vanilla Chocolate and French Toast (not pictured).
Probably a limited time thing so best to get your muffin action on soon.
Riding Off Into the Zune-set
Hold on to that Microsoft Zune since you might just have a collector’s item on your hands. Microsoft will stop introducing new Zunes, though they may try again with a new device.
