More insights about the demise of the still popular Flip video recorder.
Seems like the Flip still had lots of life and business in its product, line but Cisco still pulled the plug.

Trouble with Emptying Trash in Mac OS X
Had this problem emptying the Trash in Mac OS X Snow Leopard:
The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).
Gigs of space were used by my non-emptying Trash. Came across this FAQ about the Trash in OS X which recommended the utility Trash It. Trash It lived up to its name, wiping out all the items in the Trash. Yay!
Pornucopia – Did I Hear that Right?
Whoa, what was that? Pornucopia? Did I hear that right in the work place? Must be since two other coworkers asked the same thing – did he say pornucopia? Well, it is defined in Urban Dictionary:
An abundant supply of pornography.
Though I think cornucopia was the intended word. Oh those Freudian slips.
Night Traffic to Waimanalo
Due to today’s carjacking and shooting and resulting road closures, people are going through Waimanalo to get to Hawaii Kai. At 7:45pm, the traffic was still nasty.
That’s One Way to Get Ready for a Night Out
KITV.com reports on several arrests stemming from theft from the Navy Exchange. Most thefts were of electronics and small, pilfer-able items. But for one defendant, it sounded like she was getting ready for a night out:
Then there’s defendant Kirby R. Sells, who is charged with stealing two tank tops, makeup, two pairs of panties, a bra and whitening strips from the store on Aug. 4.
Umm, yeah.
DWTS Best of Week 4
What does Dancing with the Stars competitor, Hines Ward, think about the Karate Kid, Ralph Macchio, reenacting “The Crane” in one of his dances?
Q: Can you convince Ralph Macchio that he has to use “The Crane” during one of his dances?
Haha. I don’t think Ralph needs much convincing to do that. My guess is that that may be his secret weapon and we may see it at some point during the competition. I would love to see it myself.
from the Los Angeles Times.
For Week 4 of Dancing with the Stars, I have to go back to Mark Ballas and Chelsea Kane as one of my favorites. That Viennese Waltz was truly enchanting.
And speaking of the Karate Kid, here’s Ralph and Karina dancing the waltz. During the entire performance, I kept thinking, “Be strong, Daniel” from the movie Karate Kid.

Flip Cameras No More
So Cisco is ending its Flip line of point and shoot video recorders. I’m sorta not surprised after owning a Flip camera.
The Flip is nice and easy to use, but… it isn’t the greatest thing either. It’s portable, and the video quality is good. But you really need to be within a few feet of the subject for good video, and even then, audio is not good. Compared to the video recording of the iPhone 4, I can see how the Flip became expendable. Instead of carrying a Flip and an iPhone, I’d prefer a single device, the iPhone, that has more functionality. That and I much prefer the audio quality of the iPhone recordings.
The moment of change for me was at the ArtSpree event. Granted this hula dancer started doing his thing adjacent to me, but after watching the captured HD video from the iPhone 4, I knew my Filp camera was no more.
Placenta Hair Rejuvenating Conditioner
When shopping at your neighborhood Wal-mart, be sure to pick up that Placenta Hair Rejuvenating Conditioner.
It’s right next to the Liver-Infused Shampoo, in the aisle one over from Hannibal’s Flava Beans in a Can. Something must be lost in translation!
Yogur Story Is an Oasis of “Ohs”
Gave the unusually named Yogur Story a try this weekend, and it is an oasis of “ohs,” from its location, to its decor, to the beauty of it patrons, to the (oh no) warm food.
Where is Yogur Story? Next to the very green Sorabol on Keeaumoku, down the way from 939. Oh, okay, got it. Oh, that place is huge!
Oh wait, this place serves more than yogurt and dessert right?
Oh nice!
Oh yay, starting off with a peppermint latte.
Oh hey, is that @mirthlab downstairs where all the beautiful people sit? And was that Malika Dudley at another table. Oh wow!
What else can you say but OH! in the bathroom.
Oh, the food sounds so good on the menu and looks oh so good, but… oh no, the food is warm.
Despite the one zing of warm food, you need to give Yogur Story a try. It really isn’t what I expected. On Yelp, Yogur Story has an average of 3.5 stars, and I would have to agree. Would have been 4 to 4.5 stars if the food were hot. Still though amazing design elements, modern with playful twists.
Next time, I’ll have to try the yogurt.
