Kickstarter has yet another great project that you can back – the Pebble. This watch connects wirelessly with your smartphone (aka iPhone) and acts like a small gateway to your phone. Watch the video below and you’ll know what I mean.
Rock Week was a little off with some dancing slip-ups, but again overall, the DWTS cast in Season 14 is a talented group. Â I thought Roshon Fegan had a breakthrough with his Viennese Waltz.
Donald Driver’s crazed paso doble with Peta Murgatroyd received the highest marks from the judges this week. I can’t tell if Donald’s supposed to be a rock star or a flamboyant pirate. And his partner, Petra Murgatroyd? She has the best name.
Went into Gilly Hicks at Ala Moana for the first time. My first impression was one of drama. First the throng of good looking people hanging out at the doorway, welcoming us in. Dude, you can put your shirt on, you know. Oh wait, you can’t. Those abs need to be viewable in the public, I forgot.
Then I was instantly deaf. I see why there’s that welcoming throng outside. Once you step in the store, the disco decible music slams your ears. We asked an employee where to buy a gift card, and three feet away, I couldn’t hear a word she said.
So then, we ambled through the maze of rooms and barely there clothes, finally finding the registers way in the (quiet) back. Along this sensory overloaded path, I did think the interior lighting of Gilly Hicks was appropriately dramatic. Here are some clothes in that lighting. I couldn’t bring myself to snap a pic of undies with shoppers walking around me.
Heck, Liberty House became Macy’s a long time ago when Hackfelds was still around. But did you know that inside the Ala Moana location, you can still find the vintage logo of Liberty House?
It’s hidden in plain sight, especially if you’re riding the escalator from the bottom floor to the main level. Here’s another view.
So next time you’re riding the escalator, take in some of the history that was Liberty House.
Just because they asked nicely, I’ll comply… sorta. You see, before there was Farmers Insurance Hawaii, the organization was known as AIG Hawaii. I blogged about both names in the past, but since the AIG Hawaii online name is being phased out, Farmers has a renewed focus on branding their current name. As such, they asked me to update my historical posts linking to aighawaii.com.
But instead of changing these historical posts from 2008 and 2009, I merely appended an update stating that AIG Hawaii changed to Farmers Insurance Hawaii in January 2010. Somehow, I just couldn’t alter the historical context of these posts since at the time, they were accurate. It’s like changing all my posts referencing Liberty House to now say Macy’s.
Anyways, history has at least been updated.
With the grand opening of the Whole Foods Market in Kailua coming up in a few days, its marketing machine has been busy. Here are just two promotional materials that have come my way.
And don’t forget about the (sold out) Preview Tour on Sunday, April 15.
Dreamhost and CloudFlare recently joined forces to offer a sweet deal for Dreamhost users – free CloudFlare! I’m still learning about all the benefits of CloudFare then need to figure out what plugins I won’t need because of CloudFlare.
Bought some LEGO Minifigures Series 6 the other day and got this anachronistic mixture.
Okay, that was painful, but this is even more painful. Here’ Gasol again being manhandled by Blake Griffin.
Here’s a clip of both monster dunks Griffin had against the Lakers, including the reverse angle slow motion replay.
I had seen this dunk while watching the game on ESPN. Trust me, it looked way worse with the reverse camera angle, in slow motion, and in HD. You could see Gasol’s expression all the way.
You know that if you’re nifty with Microsoft PowerPoint then that makes you a graphics designer, right? Check out this sign.
Need a surefire way of spicing up your design? Color, have several. Oh, and fonts. They’re all awesome. Why decide, use a different typeface for everything. Still missing that special pop? What’s that last missing element? Of course! It’s WordArt. Nothing says skills like slapping on some WordArt.
