Hot Sun, Hanauma, and a Big Dew
What does the hot sun, looking at fish at Hanauma Bay, and a Mtn Dew have in common? I don’t know, but I’m glad I had this big Dew on hand.
Walking In on Google Street View
Posting this for posterity sakes. Google announced its expanded views of Hawaii within Street View whereupon many local mainstream media covered the announcement. Check out how I “walked in” on KITV’s coverage at the 0:51 mark.

Being on television is almost second nature already! Have you already forgotten about my appearance during the closing of Don Quijote in Kailua?
What’s This Dock Dojobber?
Was given this dojobber but don’t know what it is. It’s like a rubbery lanyard with a iPhone/iPad dock connector on the end. It can’t be a lanyard since it’s kinda short. Could be a tether of some sort for your iPhone, but I wouldn’t risk securing my iPhone (or iPad) solely by the dock. If that breaks, you might as well get a new device.
Oh, and it’s branded from Panya Bakery which doesn’t help solve the mystery. Any ideas?
The Next Outbreak of Avian Flu
Here’s ground zero for the next outbreak of Avian Flu. You saw it here first.
But of course, everyone knows that pigeon spittle is perfectly non-toxic, right? So swimming in the  pool aka the drinking fountain for a flock of pigeons is perfectly sanitary, right?
Count the Inuendos
How many suggestive inuendos do you count in this Adidas display?
I count three. What’s your count?
Got My Farmers Supabowzooka Shirt
I got my promotional Supabowzooka Shirt from the Farmers Hawaii and Yelp partnership. How about you?
Much thanks to Farmers Hawaii and their social media crew!
International Delight Might Have a Winner…
Historically, I’ve been disappointed with the variety of great sounding creamer flavors from International Delight. The bottle designs and images look great, the flavors sound tasty, but the actual flavors aren’t actually there. Â Never learning and doomed to repeat my mistakes, I tried another new flavor, the York Peppermint Pattie. Yes, this is based off of that round disc of a chocolate-covered mint.
International Delight got it right with this one. My perceptions and expectations matched the flavored outcome. Imagine if you melted a York pattie or two into your cup of coffee. Can you taste the subtle mint with that chocolatey tones? Yes, that’s what this creamer tastes like. Usually, I like my coffee on the sweeter side, but with the York Peppermint Pattie creamer, International Delight kept the sweetness appropriately muted.
Why Doesn’t the TVPad m121 Have Wifi?
Seriously? After online research, I’ve painfully discovered the TVPad m121 does not support Wifi. Not sure if there’s no hardware built into the AppleTV Gen2 looking device, or if the hardware is not software enabled. In either case, makes streaming Internet television much harder without convenient Wifi connectivity. Time to spend more money and set up a Wifi bridge. Absolutely lame.
Check-in or Vote for Ala Moana Regional Park

Yes, Spalding Makes Kicks
With the Miami Heat’s championship, there may be a surge in the sales of Spalding basketball shoes. Yes, Spalding makes kicks as displayed by Heat guard Mario Chalmers. He wears the Spalding Splash that looks like this.
So what if DWade who’s endorsed by Team Jordan and LeBron with his own Nike signature line don’t approve of the Spaldings, at $90 these are not exorbitantly priced.
If you’re not wooed by the Splash, then you’ll have to wait for the LeBron X shoe, releasing later this year at a rumored $315!!
The Scent of Aged Ocean Breeze
What does an aged ocean breeze smell like? A spritz from this old, decaying can of air neutralizer, and you can find out. No thanks, I’ll pass.
Congratulations LeBron (and His Reading)
Congratulations to the Miami Heat for overcoming the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals! What was the secret weapon for the Heat? Was it the play of Mario Chalmers? Was it the three point barrage of Mike Miller and Shane Battier? Could be, but as librarians will point out, it was LeBron James new reading habit that fueled the post season victories.
So if you too want to be successful, you need to read a few books to clear then focus your mind. Here is LeBron’s reading list that earned him his first NBA Championship.
