LEGO Series 7 Collection Growing
Got some additions to the LEGO Minifigures Series 7 set. Â The collection is growing. 🙂
President Obama Thrown by a Chee-Hoo
If, for whatever reason, you need to fluster President Barack Obama, just give him a hearty chee-hoo! Watch the POTUS’ expression when he gets the chee-hoo during his speech at the Asian Pacific American Institute.
Giving the Gift of “We Are Young”
Not only is Gilly Hicks dramatic, but it’s where the young people are (and older people who like to sing “We Are Young”). So if you want to give the gift of youth, get a Gilly Hicks gift card.  Just look at the card itself, it exudes youthful exuberance and um, vitality.
Hawaii Five-0 Hotness
Book’em Danno indeed! Check out these limited edition Hawaii Five-0 Nike Free Trainer 5.0. Made for the H50 cast, the customizations are mind blowing. Â “Book’em Danno” on the tongue, “Hawaii” and “Five-0” on the heel backs, and the sock liner with the names of the cast and their respective character names (sorry Kamekona). The colors are themed after the show’s logo.
You can see these H50 Free Trainers tonight as Daniel Dae Kim, aka Chin Ho Kelly, throws out the first pitch for the Philadelphia Phillies game.
I need me these kicks!!!
A MILF Monogram?!
I don’t care what your initials are. Please, someone, anyone. Don’t allow your friend whose initials happen to be “MLF” to get a bag embroidered with her legal monogram. It makes for an uncomfortable or head-turning scenario.
Exiting the Bottled Coffee Market?
Does the closeout of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf bottled coffee drinks at Longs signify CBTL’s exit in this beverage market?
The Downfall of Swirl Candy Apple?
Is Swirl Candy Apple still open for business in Hawaii? I no longer see the long-time vendor in Windward Mall, and their Ward location has been gone for some time.
Could other bakeries offering candy apples at a competitive cost led to Swirl’s downfall?
Pair Programming
While I’m no software developer, I heard the term “pair programming” before, and this is how it’s done with LEGO right?
The Revenge of Borders
Even though the Borders location at Windward Mall closed in August 2011, it’s indirectly had a lasting impact. You see, as part of their closing sale, I discovered LEGO Minifigures (Series 4) and bought a few at discounted prices. Since then, I’ve been hooked on these “random” packages of LEGO. Â With Series 7 just released, here are a few I’ve collected so far… with more to come.
Rocking the Old iPod Cable
Though Firewire is no longer supported on newer iPods and iPhones, these old iPod cables featuring both Firewire and USB still work. Well, just the USB cable anyways. Might as rock’em if you got’em.
I Have No Impulse Control
Must stay away from the LEGO store in Ala Moana. I have no impulse control there.
Is It Legal to Wear Headphones While Driving in Hawaii?
While stuck in Hawaii traffic, you’ve seen them – drivers wearing headphones in their cars. Â I never quite understood why. Is their car stereo busted? Is the music quality of the headphones that much better? Is it even legal to wear headphones while driving in Hawaii?
Looks like the answer is yes, it is legal. Â According to AAA (in this Lifehacker article), it is perfectly legal to wear headphones while driving in Hawaii. Â In other states, this is banned though, so check first before donning them Beats.
