Eschew Efficacious
Learned a new word today, efficacious. Essentially, it’s a fancy way of saying effective.
I will eschew efficacious since it seems ineffective, or is that inefficacious?
Pulp
I am a Social Media “Giants”
No joke. My Pepsi cap told me so.
The backstory: Me and @abaggy were discussing social media and being huge on Twitter then as a sign from the Powers that Be, I open a bottle of Pepsi with this Giants cap reiterating my social media stature. 😉
This is Genius!
Once in awhile, you see something, and you instantly “get it.” Such is the case when I spied this.
This is absolute genius! What you see isn’t a pair of dice, it’s two pairs of dice. One die contains a smaller die inside of it! So a toss of one die gives you the same result as a pair.
Madonna or Lady Gaga: Who Do the Gentlemen Prefer? Round 1
Remember back to Pulpconnection’s un-serious marketing comparison of Shaq vs Kobe? It’s time for another series. This time it’s Madonna versus Lady Gaga!
To lead off this debate, Pulpconnection wonders who do the gentlemen prefer? The obvious scientific method is to seek out the advice of Hawaii’s premier gentlemen’s club, Club 939. What say ye, 939?
Club 939 has spoken by hosting a Lady Gaga Edition coming up Sunday, May 30. Round 1 goes Gaga!
A Useless Error Message
While doing basic edits on a movie using iMovie 09, I got this useless error, “Alert, Error Occurred” while trying to upload to YouTube. That’s it, no reason or error codes. Searching for these terms though, I did find the culprit in this Apple Discussion forum.
Re-enter your YouTube account credentials, possibly using your YouTube-associated email address, and things should work. But how would you guess that from that useless error?!
Nalgene Image Test
Doing a quick test with the WordPress iPhone app and including images in posts. Does this one resize correctly?
Foursquare + Starbucks = No Mayor Respect :(
This is a harsh lesson about the virtual meeting the real. Starbucks and Foursquare have teamed up to offer virtual Mayors special offers at real Starbucks locations. But this is what it meant for me in real life.
The Starbucks location I went to wasn’t aware of this promotion, so I didn’t get my $1 Mayor discount for my Frappuccino. Is this promotion available in Hawaii even though the Foursquare app shows the discount? Or was the staff uninformed of the promotion? I wonder if there’s any recourse for getting my discount or a way of fixing this for the future?

What’s Next for Foursquare? Monopoly?
Since Starbucks and Foursquare have teamed up for a recent promotion, mayorship now has more than a virtual significance. When’s Foursquare going to allow the “trading” of mayorships? Say you want to be mayor of a Starbucks, and I want to be mayor of a McDonalds. As mayors of these respective locations, can we trade these virtual properties? Kinda reminds me of the game Monopoly…
Cell Phones Then and Now
How times have changed in the world of cellular phones. The Motorola “brick” and an Apple iPhone 3G.
The Motorola phone is still a better weapon though.
Are You on the Baby Food Diet?
So Jennifer Aniston and Lady Gaga are rumored to be followers of the latest Baby Food Diet. What’s that you ask?
For the Baby Food Diet, you consume 14 jars of baby food during the day and eat a “regular” dinner. It’s that simple, and you gotta admit there might be something to this diet – already portioned, no additives, and easy to eat. One potential side effect of this diet is you might be needing some of these.
