LeBron James May Be King, But He’s Still a Twitter Rookie

See the spaces between the @ symbol and Twitter names? But in the NBA you learn and adjust quickly, and LeBron did so in his next tweet fixing his @ fails. Go Heat!
Searching in Mazatlan, Mexico
The search for epic traveled to Mazatlan, Mexico with a beautiful church, cliff divers, and a spectacular show with local performers. Then some sunset shopping at the local mall.
Though impressive, cliff diving is more like “ledge” diving, the town seriously shutdown when Mexico played in the World Cup, and yes, we paid $6 for a cab to take us across the street to Walmart.

Can Power Supplies Get Tired?
That’s the question I’m wondering as I’m dealing yet again with wonkiness with an external hard drive. I’ve had a history of bad experiences with Western Digital drives, so after my last mishap, I went with a Maxtor (now under Seagate). This One Touch 4 had been doing good until recently.
A simple unplug and replug fixed the drive the first time. This time it lost the entire partition (and data). Failed drive? Not so fast. Using another Maxtor power supply, the drive started working normally again. Good thing for a drawer of old parts!
So what’s the deal? Do power supplies get tired after awhile and stop providing enough juice?
And if you’re wondering the APD WA-24C12U is compatible with the Sunny SYS1308-2412-W2, both outputting 12V, 2A.

How would megalomaniac Kanye West diss LeBron James and his NBA free agency decision? It’d be like this!

What’s Your Backup Plan asks Big Boi
This morning my Awaken-powered alarm clock started blaring Back Up Plan from Big Boi’s Sir Lucious Left Foot… The Son of Chico Dusty. This timely start of the day had me wondering about my backup plan for my data.
Here’s what my backup plan currently includes (of course, things change).
Mac OS X Time Machine. This built-in Mac OS feature has saved my bacon on occasion and even though my current Time Machine drive lost its mind temporarily, it’s rebuilding and backing up gigs of stuff.
Backblaze. Speaking of gigs of stuff, how long does it take to back up gigs of stuff online? I’m not sure, but I still got Backblaze blazing away. There’s about 200 gigs to go…Â Have you signed up?
VaultPress. This is my most recent addition to my backup plan. How do you keep your words (and everything else) on WordPress safe and protected? You store them in a vault, a VaultPress. Since I got a Golden Ticket, I figured I’d try this service in its startup stages.
So if Big Boi asks, my backup plan is Time Machine, Backblaze, and VaultPress!
My Social Media Fortune Divined by a Pepsi Cap
Did you know that Pepsi caps can tell your social media fortune? Last time, my Pepsi cap told me I was a social media giants.
So what does the wise Pepsi cap say about my social media status today?
Hmmm, not good. Seemingly, the uncanny powers of Pepsi are telling me that all my recent social media efforts are as bland and plain as a white sox. I need to step up my game!
The Son of Chico Dusty – Just Because
Big Boi’s latest release, Sir Lucious Left Foot, the Son of Chico Dusty is out, and you need to get it just because. How can you resist with a title like that?
272 iTunes fans have rated Sir Lucious Left Foot five out of five stars!
Cruising Guests While Searching for Epic
What epic guests made special appearances while cruising Mexico?
Take a look at the towel animal art. Didn’t see any spectacular displays of marine life, just a sea turtle and an unidentified sea creature. The Crumpler $5 Million Dollar Home was perfect for this trip.
Twilight’s Bella Swan showed up, not once, but twice!

Happy Fourth on the 5th
Watched the annual Kailua Independence Day parade, the only Fourth of July parade on Oahu (which happened on July 5th), and here’s some of what I saw.
Seems like every politician was represented. There were some strange groups marching in the parade, and I didn’t understand why they were there. Sadly, the parade has more politicians and social messages rather than fun, feel good displays.
A quick run down of the Hawaii Governor 2010 candidates and their parade showings. Mufi Hannemann brought out the serious tech hardware and marched the route surrounded by supporters. Looked like Mufi had the most supporters, but he seemed aloof walking in the middle of his party, not engaging the crowds.
The rain started to come down as Duke Aiona’s party passed by (the reason I don’t have pics of Duke), but it made for a spirited showing by his soaked supporters. Even rained on, Duke walked the sides of the parade talking with the people.
Neil Abercrombie was the last gubernatorial candidate to march as he led his fans. The choice to walk in front of his group made for a dramatic scene, and the guy shouting cadence for the Abercrombie party did a good job.
