I still believe this is true even though Apple issued a statement saying otherwise. Seemingly someone that looked like Steve Jobs tried to carry ninja shuriken on board an aircraft.
I can see Steveo doing this and explaining to the guards that it wouldn’t make sense to hijack his own plane (using the shuriken). Steve is a ninja!
You know you’re not supposed to disconnect an iPod or iPhone without ejecting it first right? You can get away with it many times, but sometimes, doing this misdeed can bite you like it did me. My trusty fat Nano was charging up, and I thought I had ejected it so I disconnected the dock cable.
Then I saw the Mac OS X warning message about improperly removing a disk. Whoops. No problem I though, I’ll just reconnect, and things will be fine. Not so much this time. The Nano still works but wasn’t recognized by iTunes. iTunes wanted me to restore the Nano to factory defaults. So I did.
I had to repick my music playlists, movies, etc., but now, the Nano keeps restarting itself when trying to apply the settings. 🙁
So both you and I thought racy was hot. It is… but not as hot as buttery sweetness!
Maybe it’s the hot weather, and people want something cool to drink, but I just don’t why this simple post about Starbucks new (and delicious) Toffee Mocha is blowing up right now. On a Saturday too (which are typically slow bloggy days). Maybe I’ll go out and get myself a Toffee Mocha or perhaps a SBUX PSL.
Thanks to the contributors of Holy Kaw for finding this unusual marketing campaign for pads. I don’t know what to say other than watch this 3 minute video.
Looking over older posts, I can’t believe Pulpconnection was once ranked #4 for searches for Diane Ako. A current search no longer lists Pulpconnection in the search results, but instead, you can see that Diane has a new job as Director of Public Relations for the Halekulani Corporation.
Looks like Diane’s bringing a literal splash of color to the Executive team. Cool and congrats!
So the reusable cup sleeve I spied at Starbucks is the genesis of a My Starbucks Idea. Besides being someone else’s idea, the sleeve features a handy pocket to store cash, a Starbucks Card, or a packet of VIA.
Some of the simplest ideas make you wonder why you didn’t think of that.
I guess what’s racy is what’s hot if today’s stats mean anything. You gotta love how random posts from the past get picked up for whatever reason. Today, a pictorial from June 2009 asking if this Victoria’s Secret facade is racy is getting a lot of views. A lot of views!
I wonder what’s so hot about this (less) racy post?
On Labor Day, the visit count to Pulpconnection hit 300,000 lifetime according to SiteMeter. That’s almost one year to the day when this site reached 200,000 visits (just one day off)!
The lucky visitor was looking up Princess Leia kicks and is a Mac user running an older version of Mac OS X.
Again, thanks to all Pulpconnection visitors, readers, followers, fans (and even haters!) who have passed through this site. Can you believe it’s been five years for this labor of pulp, passions, and addictions?
Interesting round of tweets from Kanye West earlier today which concluded with this.
I’m sorry Taylor.

Just in time for the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards. Taylor and Kanye together on stage?
No, I’m kidding… sorta. Justin Cruz is a cool guy, but when I heard the “new” music format on 93.9, I was reminded of Justin’s time as a radio DJ (on 93.1 was it?). If I remember right, he played hits from the 80’s and 90’s, but now Justin’s making a name for himself on television and in social media circles, and 93.1 plays modern stuff. So why the change to 93.9 Jamz that plays “YOUR generation’s ol skool?”
In her Star Advertiser column, Erika Engle says it’s a:
move that will change the battleground for Honolulu’s youth-targeted radio stations.
Odd though, that the music format appears geared towards aging parents like myself and not today’s youth. I mean I heard pre-Whitney Bobby Brown at least 3 times on 93.9 already. Even odder is that 93.9 Jamz doesn’t have any DJs. It’s “jockless” according to Gregg Hammer who (was) moved to 98.5 awhile back.
@geewhy: Format switch… Check them out (jockless). We’ll still have to demolish them, although they are my brethren… Kane killed Able!

So it’s like an infinite loop of oldies but goodies but minus the personalities. In fact, it seems too impersonal, and I’m not sure if I can dig that. Can’t I just fire up Pandora instead?
So what happened to the personalities? According to Flash from the morning show:
all on air talent was let go. i will be fine. i am more concerned about the people w wives & kids whose career’s are in radio than me.
flashee flash

So what’s the shakeout now? Rory and Hammer are still on 98.5 (which is good for them), but I still miss their style. I doubt I can last listening to the impersonal 93.9, playing music from “The Revenge of Justin Cruz”. So more iPod action I suppose…
I knew the F-15 Eagles would be moving fast during takeoff, but they were WAY fast. Check out my movie fail while recording the takeoff.
Yes, it’s blurry, and I couldn’t even pan the camera fast enough to keep up with the jet. FAIL!!
Have you seen the redesign of the Civil Beat web site? It’s cleaner and has more visual elements that pop.
So how would this new design translate to Nike kicks? Well, it might look like these (iconic) Air Max 95s.
The “light” colorway.
The “dark” colorway.
I’d rock either of these (in a size 10)! And yes, the custom embroidered text is #becivil.
