Kailua Get One Scion FR-S
Although this picture is near the H3 on-ramp in Kaneohe, I first spotted this new Scion FR-S in Kailua on my morning commute.
You wanna help me win a test drive of the FR-S? Then vote!
It’s Also Danno’s Birthday!
Ooops, sorry Scott Caan, didn’t mean the oversight, but I didn’t realize you share the same August 23 birthdate as Kobe Bryant and Jeremy Lin.
Happy H50 Birthday!
Starbucks Getting Competitively Playful
Have you noticed Starbucks’ recent forays have been playful competitions? There’s the (ending) game to bring the Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) to a city near you. Each day of the PSL competition brings new challenges to rack up more points for your favorite PSL city.
Today, I get a somewhat mysterious email from Starbucks for their upcoming 12 Star Dash competition. All that’s known is the task of earning 12 Starbucks Rewards stars between August 27 and September 9 to win $5 in assumed Starbucks “coffee cash.” Typically, you earn one star per transaction at Starbucks, but this contest will probably introduce some playful wrinkles. No additional details are provided even after registering to compete in the 12 Star Dash.
Anyways, I’m game for some playful competitions.
Today Is the Birthdays of Kobe Bryant and Jeremy Lin
I find some humor in the shared birthdays of the Black Mamba and JLin, especially after this exchange.
Anyways, Happy Birthdays are in order for a pair of NBA’s finest!
Lady Gaga’s Black Perfume
I’m not sure what to make of Lady Gaga’s Fame Eau de Parfum. It sounds like the fragrance is a black liquid in the bottle but once sprayed, turns clear.
The three inspirations of Fame are nightshade, opulence, and magnificence. So if this embodies your spirit, by all means spritz away! And Fame is for both gals and guys (sorta).
From the advertisement, I get a sense that Fame contains hints of Gaga’s pits?
Saab Cars and Kiddori
At first, the license plate of this Saab caught my eye. WASAAB. I see what the car owner did there with Wassup and a Saab.
Then the frame for the license plate caught my eye. It’s an advertisement for Kiddori.com. That’s an interesting way to advertise an app! For a description of the app, check out Ryan’s Hawaii Blog.
Jay-Z’s Blueprint for the Brooklyn Nets
Reading about Jay-Z’s deep influence on the Brooklyn Nets branding. Interesting when Jay-Z’s empire collides with sports.

I found this box on a shelf, opened it up, and found more LEGO!
There are a lot of bricks crammed into this small box.
A couple more minifigures to add to the collection…
Time to start building!
The Inaccessible Accessibility Path
I don’t know about you, but this accessibility path looks kinda inaccessible to me. At least there is a path, but it is a little narrow, winds around, and further along, is a little overgrown by the grass.
The First Word in the Mac’s Dictionary App?
What’s the “first” word defined in the Mac’s built-in Dictionary app? Hit the spacebar in the search field to find out. I accidentally brushed the space bar and was given this Easter egg.
