Predicting the Future Is Hard
Just listen to Steve Ballmer’s analysis of the then introduced Apple iPhone in 2007.
Yes, predicting the future is hard.
New Moon in 4 Minutes
Haven’t had time to watch the latest Twilight saga, New Moon, in the theaters yet? Here’s a four minute video synopsis including the surprising ending. Of course, spoilers are evident.
This video is so going to be taken down, so watch it while it’s available.
OVUII Online
The Honolulu Police Department has their wall of shame up for those arrested Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence of an Intoxicant (OVUII). You can see the inaugural offenders here. Do you know any of them?
Oh, and some of the pics are classic. Is Banery doing the shaka in his pic?
Don’t forget that CourtConnect is also available to lookup traffic violations.
Sampled Wraps and Rolls Hawaii
Refreshing and light were my first thoughts biting into a California Crab wrap from Wraps and Rolls Hawaii.
But first, full disclosure that this wrap is regularly priced at $2.90, but I received it free as a gift.
Filled with imitation crab, rice noodles, crispy lettuce, avocado, and cucumber, the crab wrap was the right size with a nice balance of ingredients. The creamy wasabi dressing is a perfect match to spice up the wrap just enough. I would suggest that the dressing be in a wider container so I can dip the wrap instead of scooping it out with the included spoon.
The Wraps and Rolls Hawaii menu features more than just wraps, and they just opened a second location at Ward (in the former Ben and Jerry’s location).

The Blessings of Being Taylor Lautner’s Boy Toy
I can’t deny it. I am Taylor Lautner’s boy toy, and I have been blessed. Look at this past week’s search results for Pulpconnection, domination by the New Moon hunk.

From recent analytics, I knew I <3 Twilight, Jacob and Taylor Lautner, and these latest stats enforce Team Jacob’s fandom. But would I have guessed that pimping out Jacob Black would turn into a blessing?
In December 2008, I made the switch from Google’s Blogger to WordPress, and Pulpconnection visits tanked. Links and URLs broke or changed, ruining Pulpconnection’s standings with search engines. But look what happened in October and November 2009, activity finally caught up with and exceeded averages from one year ago.
That’s the blessing of being Taylor Lautner’s boy toy! So I’d like to say thanks to Taylor, he of the washboard abs.

The fastest rising image search says that pictures of Twilight’s Bella Swan and Alice Cullen were more sought after than Jacob Black.
The 90’s Was My Kicks Era

A very nice stroll down the kicks memory lane indeed.
