Wow! After reading this article about making serious money on Twitter, I have to check out the advertising services, ad.ly and SponsoredTweets.
Who knows, I might have found yet another way of getting the money to roll in like this last venture!
Microsoft has opened its doors to its own retail stores similar to the Apple Stores. Here’s a video of the store opening. Are you excited!?!
I wonder if Microsoft is confident enough to showcase Apple computers running Windows or Windows software like Office for the Mac? No Windows 7 running on Apple hardware yet though.
But really, can a Microsoft Store opening compare with this done Hawaiian style?
I was so sure that former NFL wide receiver, Michael Irvin, would be the next one to go on Dancing with the Stars that I didn’t pay attention to Tuesday’s results show. But on the week that Cowboy Irvin flashed his “guns,” he was able to fell the Olympian Wonder Woman, Natalie Coughlin.
That’s a big loss from the ladies camp (remaining are Krupa, Osbourne, Hart, Mya). The men (Carter, Osmond, Vito, Dacascos, Irvin) caught a break this week.
This past week of Dancing with the Stars had to be a set up for things to come. The lowest score in Week 5 was a 21?! Len Goodman consistently giving out higher scores than Bruno? All I can say is watch out in Week 6 as the feelgood is gone!
Natalie Coughlin looked great as Wonder Woman but her performance made me wonder if she can make it to the medal rounds. Aaron Carter definitely redeemed himself this week, but what was that pseudo-military uniform he was wearing in the pre-dance clip?
I really didn’t like Michael Irvin’s paso doble, but he got respectable scores and commendations from the judges. Remember the set up mentioned above? I still think Michael’s the next one to go, but if he makes it through Week 5, he’s going to get ripped in Week 6 if he doesn’t dominate.
Mya is still the front running lady and the Argentine Tango to Jem’s They was solid. Can newcomer pro partner Dmitry bring out and sustain the best in Mya? Mark Dacascos had a good week with his smoking paso doble with Lacey. Never mind she looked like the Big Red Chicken from Dora the Explorer, her paso entrance was literally smoking!
Donny Osmond and Kym had the biggest breakthrough of the week, almost achieving perfection. With Donny’s hectic schedule, can he maintain this intensity? Chelsie and Louie Vito are struggling, and Chelsie continues to compensate by overperforming. They make a cute couple though.
Derek Hough => Mark Ballas and Joanna Krupa > Melissa Joan Hart. Therefore Derek & Joanna > Mark & Melissa. And Joanna is like the inducer of gribbles involved with flubs with both Derek Hough and fill-in partner Maksim.
Love Kelly Osbourne’s story, dancing to Ozzie’s Crazy Train, and garbing Louis in heavy makeup. She needs some of Wonder Woman’s mental toughness to keep her in the game though.
Get ready for some rough scores in Week 6!
For the Twitter fanatics, here’s the Halloween costume for you – the Twitter bird mascot!
But really, not for sale at Walmart.
Don’t know why this tactic wasn’t used earlier, but songs and albums are now releasing ahead of schedule after being leaked online. Instead of letting people pirate the music before release dates, music companies are now selling the goods before pirating can steal away too many sales.
Adam Lambert’s Time for Miracles is the latest casualty. Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 went on sale early due to piracy, and I have to wonder about the New Moon soundtrack. Supposedly, it’s release date was pushed up due to “high demand,” but methinks high demand by pirates was the real cause.
So I’m not sure if I should be thanking music pirates or not?
Can the supposedly best 13-year old basketball player play hoops at UH? At 6-6, Andrew Wiggins will probably (if not already) be recruited by the big name schools, but why not play in the Aloha State?
Had to do some tuning to Pulpconnection after a rash of meltdowns and poor performance. Thanks to the duo of @ryankanno and @mirthlab, I made a few changes hopefully for the better.
There were a few other minor changes I made (like bumping up my DreamHost Private Server memory just a tad), and overall, performance has been more stable. But boy, the withdrawal from all the blogging bling (like this one) is hard to deal with. 🙁
Looks like Target is targeting Holiday Mart Daiei Don Quijote for its next Hawaii store. Not sure what to make of that. Having a Target close by will be cool (still haven’t visited any Target locations on Oahu yet), but where are we going to get cheap groceries and Royal Mills coffee? What about the Easter Seals office? Their services have been good to us.
And ever since the chain link fence separating Don Quijote and Safeway came down, I thought a new era of peace and prosperous shopping had come to the community.
