It’s a nice day outside – sunny, slight breeze, blue skies. A great day for thinking and solving problems. Grab yourself a beverage, a quiet place, and start solving them problems!

Read about the Polk Audio SurroundBar speaker “system,” and it sounds and looks cool. It’s advertised as “Five channels. One speaker. Zero clutter.” Nice!

Has anyone seriously tried out audiobooks? How’s that work out for you?

I was looking at buying the book The Dip by Seth Godin. Amazon sells it for 7 bucks, but after rummaging around the Net, I saw that the iTunes Store has an audiobook version for about the same price. Even though there’s a problem with the Audiobook version right now, I’m sure it’ll get fixed soon.

Just wondering what the audiobook experience is like. I’m used to reading a book with a pencil or highlighter in my hand in case there’s a nugget of wisdom I want to remember. Comments anyone?

Nike’s finally going to retro the Zoom Flight 95. Not sure when exactly, but it’s coming sometime in 2008.

Jason Kidd wore these back in the day, and the kicks un-cognoscenti said the bubbles in the outsole were like extra eyes that gave Kidd his superb court vision. AC Carter rocked these while at UH and maybe center/forward Mike Robinson had these too.

Even 12+ years after its initial release, these shoes still look futuristic. Awesome design!

Anyone use the membership-based Ship to Hawaii service?

Thinking about joining but not sure if it’s worth it. Comments?

Got an email from Google notifying me that my Analytics account was upgraded to their new beta system. Much nicer interface. Clean, bigger, and easier to navigate around. I still don’t know what a lot of the functions are but never did spend the time trying to figure them out.

The Map Overlay feature focused on visits from Hawaii.

Quite a few hits coming in from Pearl City and Mililani. 🙂

Okay, maybe the Oprah didn’t say so herself, but frequent Oprah-guest doc, Dr. Oz says, “If you have more than 200 orgasms a year, you can reduce your physiologic age by six years.”

Six years! That’s pretty significant! What’s physiologic age? Who cares?!

Okay, maybe not quite a mashup, but it’s fun using and combining web services to do stuff couldn’t do before.

The Pumpkins first album in seven years is scheduled for release on July 10. Keep an eye out for Zeitgeist.

The popular blogging platform WordPress got a update today going to version 2.2. One of the new features is a importer from Blogger that pulls in posts and comments.

I have wanted to make a change to WordPress for some time, but kept putting it off. Maybe I’ll make the jump soon…

Been busy and almost missed the (minor) updates to Apple’s MacBook lineup.

Faster processors, more RAM – nothing fancy, but you’re still getting good bang for the buck.
