It was a banner year for trick-or-treating in the Kailua area. We had 25 kids come by the house! Though about half of the tricksters were either in high school or maybe even college.
Didn’t see any great costumes. Maybe the best was a Fred and Wilma Flintstone.
The 60 second Sony commercial about the Bouncing Superballs in San Francisco is now available.
Watch the video (QuickTime 7 required).
Read about how a harmless hobby of blogging consumed the time of a Wall Street Journal tech writer covering the New York Mets.
Kinda similar story for most folks starting out with blogging I would assume. And yeah, blogging does take time.
Interesting to hear how their readership numbers ballooned so quickly. The trio of Pulpconnection, Wayne’s World, and CCTWT have a ways to go before we see 14,000 hits in a month!
After learning about the Top 10 Design Mistakes for Blogs and seeing the changes made on CCTWT, I figured I should make some improvements to Pulpconnection.
Added a picture of me and Merynn under the About section. I had also changed the tagline earlier in the week to better describe what I usually write about. Oh yeah, I changed my user profile picture which shows up in comments I leave.
This blog is also now reachable via the URL www.pulpconnection.net. Of course, the original address of pulpconnection.blogspot.com works fine.
One more thing I want to fix is the navigation to older material. Other sites have “previous” and “next” links at the bottom of the pages, but I don’t think the Blogger service provides this feature. Anyone know?
If anyone has any suggestions for improvements, feel free to comment away.
Snoop Dogg told you to Drop It Like It’s Hot, and now Anoop Dogg drops this parody Drop It Like a FOB.
I am a nice FOB,
I work in the IT,

You will get me.
Someone’s list of free software (for the Mac) to use with your iPod.
Ultimate Freeware Package for your iPod.
Personally, I purchased iPodRip from The Little App Factory to manage my music on different computers.
Can it be? Yahoo news talks about the growing number of US workers who waste millions of hours online reading blogs.
this week that US workers would waste the equivalent of 551,000 years during 2005 reading blogs, online web diaries and gossip sheets
It’s a good thing I only spend time writing a blog. But I do read two of my favorite blogs, CCTWT and Wayne’s World.
This time, here are videos showing you how to backup DVDs to your Mac or to your iPod.
Is it me or is the video iPod causing a stir? There’s been so many articles about getting your own videos on to the new iPod. Looks like the making of the next killer app?
No sooner did I lament the absence of Rory Wild on I-94, he’s back from vacation just in time for Wicked Wahine Wednesday. I didn’t change the station or tune in my iPod. I just listened as the Wake Up Crew talked to Randy and PoK (the Pride of Kaneohe) about their Wicked Wahine hookup.
Rory knows how to build a story and set the stage. Was so entertaining that I had to speed through the H3 tunnel to get reception back so I wouldn’t miss anything.
Rory Wild of the 93.9 Wake Up Crew must be on vacation again, leaving Gregg Hammer, Natasha, and Krey-Z Oshiro to hold down the morning show. You know what that means? Tuning out and tuning in my iPod. Even Men Are Slime Tuesdays couldn’t hold my interest without Rory leading the way. Sorry Gregg, you still sound forced and unnatural as the lead DJ.
Speaking of iPods…
Did I mention I love my iPods? I got a “regular” iPod and a Shuffle which I use pretty much everyday. With the FM transmitting iTrip, I listen to my music while driving to and from work, especially when Rory Wild is on vacation. The Shuffle accompanies me during workouts.
A few other developments on the iPod front. Although I don’t have a Nano, there’s an iTrip for the Nano so Dr. Tall can listen to his podcasts and audiobooks while driving. I also came across an FM receiver for the iPod when you want to listen to FM radio broadcasts.
Ars Technica has yet another article about getting video onto the new video iPods. Covers both Mac and Windows tools.
And oh yeah, you don’t need an iPod to listen to music purchased via iTunes. You can listen to this music on your computer or burn CDs for your car stereo. Buying music from iTunes couldn’t be any easier or faster. Instead of buying the CD from the store, I purchased the new collection of Destiny Child’s #1’s greatest hits from iTunes and was listening to it in a matter of seconds. Way easy and convenient.
Thanks Steve Jobs. Speaking of whom…
US News profiled its choices for America’s Best Leaders and included in that list is Mr. Steve Jobs himself. There are other notables on this list such as Larry Page and Sergey Brin (the Founders of Google), Colin Powell, Oprah Winfrey, Howard Schultz (Chairman of Starbucks), Condoleezza Rice, and the Gates (Bill and Melinda).
And about leadership…
