Starbucks continues to branch out its coffee holdings with suggestions from My Starbucks Idea. This time it’s flavored coffee that’s been added to the Starbucks menu.
Available in vanilla, caramel, and cinnamon, these naturally flavored grounds can be found in supermarkets near you.
Check out the introductory video.
How would megalomaniac Kanye West diss LeBron James and his NBA free agency decision? It’d be like this!

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!
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!
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!
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!
LeBron James aka King James is now on Twitter as @kingjames. He already has almost 90,000 followers with only a single tweet! Here is the first tweet of King James.
Hello World, the Real King James is in the Building “Finally”. My Brother @oneandonlycp3 gas’d me up to jump on board so I’m here. Haaaa

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.
Nike might be set to release kicks inspired by popular Street Fighter characters. First up are sneakers designed after Chun Li and Ryu.
Subtle style, but you can definitely see the design elements from the SF warriors. I’m hoping for Nike’s take on a Guile inspired shoe.
The first epic stop of the Carnival Splendor was Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. There were pirate ships at the pier, and the coastline featured interesting statues and monuments.
Yes, Mexico has Starbucks locations with a similar menu but no free Wifi access. Ate at the air conditioned Coexist restaurant and watched World Cup matches.
While wearing a “Free Kobi” shirt, Takeru Kobayashi was arrested as he attempted to take the stage at Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest? For what and why, I don’t know.
And seriously, these competitive eating events are run by Major League Eating?! Takeru, lose the headband. It’s too classic Karate Kid Cobra Kai if you know what I mean.
Silly me for not reading closely the definition of “iPod” for Hawaii State Library’s Overdrive audio book system. My hold on Rework
You see, even though Rework displays this compatibility chart, you have to read it correctly.
Yes, I understand this audio book is NOT Mac compatible, but it does appear to play on an iPod. What you have to decipher is that this audio book will play on an iPod tied to a Windows PC. This particular audio book is protected with Windows WMA DRM which is not Mac compatible. So hoping to hear Rework on my iPod while driving to work isn’t possible. Bummed and bamboozled.
