What Does Pee Wee Herman Think of the iPad?
Pee Wee Herman is back and look what happens when he supposedly gets an iPad from Steve Jobs himself.
That multitasking globe is a hoot!

Don’t Fear the Semicolon
I admit that the semicolon baffles me. What’s it for, when do I use it? Because of my semicolon ignorance, I never use it.
But check this out; here’s a great illustrated tutorial explaining the semicolon and uses for this feared punctuation mark.
You can even buy it in a poster format.
The Changing Face of the Froyo Wars
With the sprawl of froyo shops all over Oahu, you know the Froyo Wars is on. Who’ll survive in this over-saturated market? Who’ll be the first casualty?
As with any successful campaign, changing the game is key to battle. Instead of fighting the enemy on their terms, you change things up and dictate your own conditions to do battle. Yogen Fruz is doing just that with their Smoothie candy. Not just fighting the froyo front, Yogen Fruz is expanding their battlefield to include the candy market.
Will this maneuver outpace Yogen Fruz from their froyo competition or will it split and weaken their forces?
Recreate the iPad Intro
Who will be the first designer to offer up a mock simulation of the scene at the Apple Event where the iPad was introduced? I’m talking about bundling that iChair with that iTable, and maybe a bottle of that iWater with purchase of an iPad.
Who Makes that iChair?
Forget the iPad. Who makes that iChair used in the Apple Event presentation? Surefire sales!
I Like “Canvas”
Macworld has a list of potential names for Apple’s forthcoming tablet. From their list, I like “Canvas”.
It’s already spreading around the Net about the CEO of McGraw-Hill spilling some beans about Apple’s product announcement tomorrow.
I’m still hoping for some kind of tethering or MiFi-like wireless sharing for the iPhone and Canvas combo. I really don’t want to pay yet another wireless bill for the Canvas.
Feasting on GaGa
So the verdict is there cannot be too much GaGa. Lady GaGa is simply ubiquitous and cannot be denied. So if you’re a converted fan, you can feast on the popular music of GaGa at Amazon’s MP3 Store. For a limited time, Amazon is offering The Fame for only $5.
You’re talking Just Dance, LoveGame, Paparazzi, Poker Face, and all other The Fame tracks for one Abe Lincoln.
If that’s not enough GaGa to feast on, how about munching on these GaGa inspired cookies? Oops, it appears that too many like munching on GaGa since the server is currently offline. 🙁
Spotted at Don Quijote
No, I didn’t spot a Farmers Insurance Hawaii advertisement at the Kailua Don Quijote. Instead, I saw some of their strange items for sale. Things like this…
Hiro the Japanese Train
Went to check out Thomas & Friends: Thomas & the Runaway Kite at the Pearlridge theaters. This special only shows once on Saturdays at a few theaters around the island and is over at the end of January.
From the various mini episodes of this movie, I learned about Hiro who I think is supposed to be a Japanese train. Kinda iffy on that Japanese heritage since he has an accent that doesn’t sound Japanese. He doesn’t really look Asian either, but hey, we’re in a world of talking trains, right?
If you want Thomas to have multicultural useful friends, be sure to add Hiro to your Thomas train collection.
Where Paper Used to Come From
Leave it to the ingenuity of the ancient Egyptians to figure out that papyrus could be used to make paper.
Monthly Mancrushing RPattz
Can’t wait for Eclipse, the next Twilight installment coming in June 2010? Didn’t get enough of Robert Pattinson in his reduced role in New Moon. Lucky you, there’s a 2010 calendar dedicated to Mr. Pattinson! That’s sixteen months of mancrushing RPattz action.
Hey wait, sixteen months? But there’s only 13 pictures?
Unholy vampires, Batman! What marketing genius. Stick the last four months of 2009 on one calendar page to give sixteen months. Awesome trickery!
Too Much GaGa?
Can there be too much of Lady GaGa? Seemingly no matter what radio station I tune to, her catchy music is playing. Just Dance on 92.3, Poker Face on 93.1, Bad Romance on 93.9, Paparazzi on 102.7, LoveGame on 104.3, then mix it up and replay.
Then of course, there’s this poetic rendition of GaGa as done as only Christopher Walken can.
Even the almighty Oprah seems in awe of GaGa.
