And this fantabulous pen!
Already?! Canon Rebel T2i DSLR
I just got my Canon Rebel T1i DSLR camera and already it’s obsolete with the forthcoming T2i. Amazon is taking preorders for this “sister” camera. Who are we kidding? The T2i will replace the T1i in the Canon DSLR lineup.
Car Safety Kits from Farmers Hawaii
Look for car safety kits from Farmers Hawaii. Pack this handy kit in your car and you now have reflective warning signs, a bright reflective vest, a flashlight, and a tire pressure gauge.
Thanks Farmers Hawaii!
Strangely Fascinated by Scott Fujita
Whoa, double take. The New Orleans Saints have a linebacker named Scott Fujita? That’s an Asian brother of another color. He got the name, Fujita. But blonde hair? And kids with even blonder hair? That ain’t no Fujita.
Ah I get it. Adopted son. Grandmother in a WWII internment camp. Grandfather fighting with the 442nd. Named the Saints’ Man of the Year and now Superbowl champion. Strangely fascinating.
Dance Nation As Seen on TV?
I haven’t seen the music compilation Dance Nation on TV, but it is a new release on iTunes and Amazon. Over one hour of continuous dance mixes!

Are the Dancing with the Stars pros wearing more or less than their usually bare dancing attire in this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

Superbowl 44 Party for the Non-Fans
What does a Superbowl party look like for non-football fans? It kinda looks like this…
Eat, keep the kids entertained, eat, watch the commercials, eat, talk about Pink’s Grammy performance, cheer on the underdog. Geaux Saints!
Superbowl 44 Music Mix: Geaux Saints!
Congrats to the New Orleans Saints for winning their franchise first Superbowl and congrats to the Indianapolis Colts for a tough challenge. To commemorate Superbowl XLIV in Miami, here are a few songs that stuck in my head.
- In the Air Tonight. When I hear Miami, I think the classic Miami Vice but this one is remixed.
- Run This Town. Jay-Z, Rihanna, Kanye West. Grammy winning. Part of the pregame festivities.
- The Saints Are Coming. Need I say more?
- Who Dat. Because KT Cat said so.
- Wild Horses. This one is for the Colts.
- Halo. Still can’t forget about Haiti.
- Glitter in the Air. Pink’s Grammy performance would have been an awesome halftime show.
- Shock the Monkey. For Jeremy Shockey’s go ahead touchdown.
- Amazing. The video says it all why the NFL Pro Bowl needs to return to Hawaii.
- Le sens de la vie. Superbowl 44 is done. Now it’s time to chill in Miami.
- Turning Japanese. Bonus song dedicated to the Saints Scott Fujita.
Limited Time: Free iPhone Game
Remember that hand-held football game from back in the day? Little red lights represented the players and you were the bright red one?
 For Superbowl weekend, an iPhone app recreating this classic is available for free. Of course you must download!
Ninja Sushi No More
That was fast. Ninja Sushi in Kailua closed down on February 1st and already the place has been cleaned out.
And after shopping at Don Quijote, the refrigerators were gone too. Supposedly the owners will reopen Ninja Sushi in the neighboring complex by Safeway since Target is slated to occupy the Don Quijote location.
Nothing Says Lunch Like Victoria’s Secret
Nothing says lunch like Victoria’s Secret! From carrying the Good Book to being a popular Christmas gift (albeit ill-fitting) to toting a loaf of bread, who knew the versatility of this distinctive bag.
Reuse, reduce, recycle!
Will Dwain Williams Determine the Future of Coach Nash?
UH men’s basketball coach, Bob Nash, isn’t have a successful WAC season, and the future of his coaching career with the Rainbows is in question. Despite the team’s win-loss record, I wonder if guard Dwain Williams will determine Bob Nash’s future as Head Coach.
Williams is a long range threat hitting the most three point field goals on the team despite missing seven games, and his presence is welcomed in the current two-guard rotation. So why would Coach Nash indefinitely suspend Williams? Because Dwain Williams the person is more important than Dwain Williams the basketball player, and Coach Nash understands this fact of life.
Even though Williams is a much needed member of the team whose play could result in more UH victories, Coach Nash has to ensure that his student-athletes are ultimately prepared for life off the court. Besides missing practice while attending his cousin’s funeral, Dwain also missed classes. Upon returning to the UH Manoa campus, skipping a class is not the way to go. Coach Nash had no choice but to reprimand Dwain so he could re-evaluate his priorities and start making more mature decisions.
So although Dwain’s indefinite suspension will hurt, I think Coach Nash’s handling of this situation is admirable and worthy of an extended stay.
