Help Humanity. Bid for Evangeline Lilly
LOST actress and humanitarian, Evangeline Lilly, is putting herself up for auction to raise funds to support the GO Campaign. Winning bidders will have lunch with Evangeline in Hawaii, Los Angeles, or Canada (there are three auctions, one for each locale).
The auctions end on February 4, 2010 and the leading bids are around $2500. Go to http://tiny.cc/evangeline for more info.
If these luncheon auctions are price prohibitive, Evangeline is also raising funds with her own intimate collections line to support Task Brazil which provides for street children of Brazil. Costs for these auctioned items start at $10.
Banned from the Bowl
As usual, the Superbowl is a time for make-it-or-break-it commercials. But before airing, all the commercials must be screened and approved. Usually, it’s the good ones that don’t make the cut for the big game.
GoDaddy.com is no stranger to controversy for its Superbowl ads. This year, their commercial once again won’t air, but if you watch it, it’s not as racy as previous spots.
But then again, I guess it does communicate a sensitive subject for the NFL.
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?
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.
