Katy Perry makes an appearance on Sesame Street and sings a Hot and Cold duet with Elmo.
Update: Well, well, well, I guess Katy’s clothes was a little too hot for Sesame Street since they’ve officially pulled the video.
So what’d you think of the remade, rebooted, remixed Hawaii Five-O? Is it still a classic? Only time will tell, but the premiere episode definitely was fun!
Some thoughts and wonderings.
Hawaii is well armed and seedyI never knew how serious and epidemic the criminal element was in Hawaii. Even Governor Lingle stand-in was fed up and wanted the criminal SOBs off her island. I mean where ever you went the public was armed and ready for a shootout. And what timing for Aloun farms and the forced labor workforce to coincide with the H5O subplot of human exporting. Who watching thought about the pumpkin patch when the cargo load of imported Asians was discovered?
I thought Five-O did an excellent job portraying the visual beauty of the islands. Every lead-in was a scenic sight to see. Even tents on beach got airtime. But I wonder why locations like Kukui High School had to be made up? Why not use real location names?
Say what? Okay, so I’m a fake Hawaiian akin to imitation crab, but I’ve never heard “bird” in pidgin. I need to update my Hawaiian slang list with all the gems spoken by the Five-O cast.
So yeah, even with its imperfections, Hawaii Five-O is still fun, and I’ll be sticking around for more episodes.
If you missed the premiere episode, you can now view it online at CBS, and here’s the trailer along with the iconic theme song.

Ooops, sorry about that. Pulpconnection was beaten civilly (I think) by a Civil Beat tweet. There was a big spike in server resources (see that blue and red lines climb?) that made this site unresponsive.
Rebooted and now back online (kinda sorta). #becivil!
I’m not into politics, but when I wanted to follow the latest with Hawaii’s 2010 Primary election online, I had two choices. Which one do you prefer?
About a third of the screen of the Star Advertiser site was advertisements! Meanwhile on Civil Beat, you could glance at poll results, headlines, and discussion in the same screen space. Much better!
While you’re at Civil Beat, be sure to read the grades given to local TV and newspaper coverage of the primary election. I wonder what grade Civil Beat would give its own election coverage?
I must say that I enjoyed Civil Beat’s live blog of the election, reading not like typical news articles, but instead, like… well, a blog. The pictures were fun, the tone was fun, and the insider perspectives from the various campaign headquarters added to the appeal. And geeks know this post was made for tabbed browsing! 🙂
While sort of off-topic, these Abercrombie & Schatz tees are a cool design inspired by the stylings of Abercrombie & Fitch. But, no, I don’t want to see Abercrombie and Schatz modeling in an Abercrombie & Fitch store.
Gotta do a flight check on my Tivo with a bunch of shows taking off this week.
Let’s see, the conclusion of Season 1 of The Gates should have recorded on Sunday. It ain’t a bad show, kinda a poor man’s Underworld but in a modern context where you’re the unusual one if you’re not a mythical creature.
For Monday, Hawaii Five-O premieres (in HD!!) along with Season 11 of Dancing with the Stars (also in HD!!).
Tuesday showcases Glee and even more DWTS.
On Wednesday, the behind-the-scenes Top Chef episode is followed by Top Chef: Just Desserts.
Hawaii’s Andy South and Ivy Higa continue their Project Runway journey on Thursday, and Mililani’s Maggie Q takes on the Division on Nikita. Grey’s Anatomy kicks off after a monstrous season finale.
Then it’s Friday and the weekend when I can watch all these hours of great television. Tivo, don’t fail me now!
What was that laugh I heard on Island 98.5 this morning? Try sample (especially the end of the audio clip)!
[audio:https://www.pulpconnection.net/audio/island985.mp3]Could it be the moratorium against KreyZ Oshiro is over, and he (and his distinctive laugh) is back on the airwaves?
A great infographic compiling the history of WordPress along with stats and interesting tidbits.
Thanks to Holy Kaw!
Since I seriously think my customized iPod Nano is really, really zapped, I’m looking at using an iPod Touch, 2nd generation, during my runs. The Touch is much bigger than the Nano, and it does support the Nike+ running sensor and the new Nike+ GPS app (sans the GPS part for a Touch).
Now I need to find an armband for running. This Belkin DualFit armband looks okay and has good reviews.
Hmmm, I got my Nano in September 2007 and before that, a Shuffle in August 2005. Now in September 2010, my Nano is flailing. What’s with the months of August and September and faltering iPods?
Mini is about to introduce a new four-door model to its famous car line. Despite its dowdy name, the Countryman looks great!
The Countryman goes on sale tomorrow in Europe but makes its way to America in early 2011.
Today’s coffee salvation comes from Illy in a canned form. Don’t shake the Cappuccino.
In a galaxy far, far away, when Boba Fett is done hunting for bounty, he kicks off his armored boots and slips into something more functional and fashionable. Just like these Adidas Originals ZX 800.
I thought the plastic blister packaging was over the top but it’s supposed to mimic the packaging for Star Wars action figures from back in the day.
