Signs of Hawaii: On Your Toes
When the sign says flush only once, you better flush only once. Otherwise, you’ll get a surprise on your toes.
Expanding Outbrain’s Reach
Keep an eye out for babes on Pulpconnection. After reading this article about “Around the Web” recommendations and the mention of Outbrain.com, I got curious. I use Outbrain’s recommendations on Pulpconnection but had its scope limited to content only on my blog. For the time being, I expanded Outbrain’s recommendations to include other sites just to see if I experience what the Verge’s article mentions.
Although I think I already saw a precursor of what’s to come. Remember when I compared Outbrain, the Similar Posts plugin, and JetPack Related Posts? Outbrain had a penchant for recommending off-the-wall suggestions, typically dealing with Club 939. So just a warning that there may be babes ahead.
What’s Old Is New Again
That was fast! The Starbucks neighboring Macy’s Ala Moana has undergone a renovation and is ready for business. Looking at pictures taken by fellow caffeine addict, @yoda808, the renovation primarily appears to be cosmetic, but then again, the location wasn’t closed for that long, and it still is a tiny space so what can you really do? Not clearly discernible from the pictures is the lack of indoor seating. No longer do tables line the inside of the glass walls.
Structurally, things look the same although the drink pickup counter is nearer the middle, no longer at the end by the water pipe. Also, the pickup counter is flanked on each side by espresso machines (sadly not Clovers).
I can’t recall if the original layout had two espresso makers. If there were, the two machines were side by side, crowding the baristas. This new layout potentially provides a balanced piston action to fire out customer drinks. Hopefully this means shorter wait times in this popular pit stop.
Starbucks in Ala Moana is back at full strength with two locales at Hawaii’s largest shopping mall.
Now about the aesthetic redesign, here’s one opinion of the old but new look…
Taking a Pepsi Bath
Why take a bath in Pepsi, I don’t know. But listen to the fizzing carbonation and watch the look of discomfort on the guy.
Shopping for a Body Roller
This extra firm body roller looks like a good mix of price and reviews, j/fit Super High-Density Foam Roller, Black, 36×6-Inch
Easter Basket Full of Kicks
If you had to make an Easter basket full of kicks from Ross, here’s what you could include:
Made popular by Scottie Pippen, the Nike Air Up was worn by many including a collegiate Allen Iverson.
Remember the time I was about to buy pink kicks? These Shox TL (first generation) are a reminder.
Interesting Jordan retro-look. Part Nike Blazer, part Jumpman is the Jordan Sky High Retro.
The Jordan Flight 23 RST looks better in black than white, and the black has icy soles!
You never know what you’ll find at Ross, but you can surely find some Easter eggs.
Love These Decorations
Posting this pic just because I love how this gym was decorated for a teen event. So colorful! And those balloons are about 10 feet off the ground.
Statements in Redesign
Check out these statements in redesign – the new 2015 Toyota Camry and the Air Jordan XX9.
Sunday Paper Delievered
Sadly, a house fire severely damaged a home in the Kailua community earlier in the week. But Sunday’s Star Advertiser newspaper was still faithfully delivered.
Is That a Starbucks or Storage for Home Depot?
Now Starbucks is just playing with caffeine addicts like you and me. Go from two busy locations in Ala Moana to a single, always-slammed spot. But hey, look, a new kiosk graces the Center Court area, and it, too, is busy.
So Starbucks balance has returned to Ala Moana. But not so fast! What’s this?! The minuscule, always-crowded, Macys-in-store location is now closed.
Or is that really a Home Depot storage spot?

What are you doing to us Starbucks??? Just can’t win.
