Reading about photovoltaic systems and the installation concerns about flashing, wind uplift, and leaky roofs. Read the short but informative article in the Star Advertiser’s Hawaii Renovation section.
The article is on page 7.
Interesting round of tweets from Kanye West earlier today which concluded with this.
I’m sorry Taylor.

Just in time for the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards. Taylor and Kanye together on stage?
Just one more dark variation of Civil Beat inspired kicks, and this time testing out NikeID’s embed code.
Check out the
Nike Air Max 95 iD Shoe
I designed at NIKEiD.com
This is the generated wallpaper version.
Starbucks is selling its own line of gear at its stores. Here’s a reusable cup sleeve and a bag I can’t understand the purpose of.
Anyone know what the bag is for?
No, I’m kidding… sorta. Justin Cruz is a cool guy, but when I heard the “new” music format on 93.9, I was reminded of Justin’s time as a radio DJ (on 93.1 was it?). If I remember right, he played hits from the 80’s and 90’s, but now Justin’s making a name for himself on television and in social media circles, and 93.1 plays modern stuff. So why the change to 93.9 Jamz that plays “YOUR generation’s ol skool?”
In her Star Advertiser column, Erika Engle says it’s a:
move that will change the battleground for Honolulu’s youth-targeted radio stations.
Odd though, that the music format appears geared towards aging parents like myself and not today’s youth. I mean I heard pre-Whitney Bobby Brown at least 3 times on 93.9 already. Even odder is that 93.9 Jamz doesn’t have any DJs. It’s “jockless” according to Gregg Hammer who (was) moved to 98.5 awhile back.
@geewhy: Format switch… Check them out (jockless). We’ll still have to demolish them, although they are my brethren… Kane killed Able!

So it’s like an infinite loop of oldies but goodies but minus the personalities. In fact, it seems too impersonal, and I’m not sure if I can dig that. Can’t I just fire up Pandora instead?
So what happened to the personalities? According to Flash from the morning show:
all on air talent was let go. i will be fine. i am more concerned about the people w wives & kids whose career’s are in radio than me.
flashee flash

So what’s the shakeout now? Rory and Hammer are still on 98.5 (which is good for them), but I still miss their style. I doubt I can last listening to the impersonal 93.9, playing music from “The Revenge of Justin Cruz”. So more iPod action I suppose…
My Nike+ system just let me know that I’m blue, the blue running level that is. I’ve surpassed 620 miles of running, going from level green to level blue. Next up is level purple at 1553(!) miles then level black at over 3107 miles.
Here’s the movie clip that greeted me when signing into Nike+ online.
This calls for a reward! Maybe some Civil Beat-inspired kicks?
What’s this? Another change on the Hawaii radio waves? I saw this tweet from Gregg Hammer so I need to investigate KHJZ…
KIKI is dead! 93.9 Jamz is born at 12:00 noon SHARP!Gregg Hammer

I knew StumbleUpon was a popular social media service but always viewed it as a dark horse. Who knew how popular it really is.
I knew the F-15 Eagles would be moving fast during takeoff, but they were WAY fast. Check out my movie fail while recording the takeoff.
Yes, it’s blurry, and I couldn’t even pan the camera fast enough to keep up with the jet. FAIL!!
Just the pictures from today’s farewell ceremony for Hawaii’s last F-15 Eagles fighter jets.
Blog post coming later…
Have you seen the redesign of the Civil Beat web site? It’s cleaner and has more visual elements that pop.
So how would this new design translate to Nike kicks? Well, it might look like these (iconic) Air Max 95s.
The “light” colorway.
The “dark” colorway.
I’d rock either of these (in a size 10)! And yes, the custom embroidered text is #becivil.
So the secret about Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte is out, but did you know about the new Toffee Mocha?
It’s pure buttery sweetness! Then you taste the hint of mocha. A new seasonal favorite?
