What to Do, What to Do?
Got to follow up some leads about possible new “projects” to join. The biggest decision is whether to stay “home-based” or go back out working at customer sites.
Just not sure what to do, but I can’t forget the reason why I came back to the office, to help our organization improve.
Pre-order Glee on Dee Vee Dee
Even though Glee is in full swing, you can pre-order the first season of Glee on DVD already!
Pulpconnection Mobilized
Thanks to some prodding by @mirthlab, I finally got around to “mobilizing” Pulpconnection. What does that mean? I installed an alternate theme that kicks in when Pulpconnection is viewed by a mobile device like an iPhone or Blackberry. This theme is more compact and will then load faster without all the widget bling that you’d normally get.
Thanks to WPtouch, the mobile version of Pulpconnection looks like this.
Fitness by Trapeze or Hooping?
Who woulda thought that a trapeze bar or a hula hoop would be the latest ways to get into shape? Read about Jukari Fit to Fly and Hooping.
A Newer Way of Fundraising
With Twitter, traditional ways of doing things are being turned upside down. Last year, orders for Girl Scout cookies were (unofficially but successfully) taken on Twitter with the cookies delivered via a tweetup. Most recently, a fundraiser for breast cancer is using Twitter to get the word out about the disease.
Making online donations have been available for some time, but it’s easy to ignore these requests. What’s interesting is that Twitter gives these fundraisers a voice. A real voice that isn’t so easy to ignore as witnessed by a successful campaign by Team 808 Tweeps. Using Twitter as a campaign platform, this Hawaii-based team raised over $1600 for the fight against breast cancer, exceeding its goal of $1500.
Congratulations to Team 808 Tweeps!
Victoria’s Secret Toting Your Bible?
In celebration of Victoria’s Secret grand opening in Hawaii at Ala Moana, I offer this somewhat disturbing juxtaposition.
Yes, that’s a Victoria’s Secret bag toting The Good Book! Is “Give me sexy” a verse from Psalm?
Starbucks for Now and Later
Some iced Starbucks for now and some VIA for later. Yes, the “instant” ready brew VIA is everywhere!
An Average, Gimme Week of Dancing with the Stars
Week 2 of Dancing with the Stars was a gimme. Seemingly no matter how bad the dancers performed, the judges gave average but encouraging scores. I guess it’s just too early in the season for the judges to break down the performers with scathing comments and low scores.
This week’s standouts are Aaron Carter, Mya, and Donny Osmond. Hey, these could be the finalists for Season 9.
Local boy Mark Dacascos had a slight slip up but still managed (surprise, surprise) average scores of 7,7,7.
So who went home on Week 2? The dancing disconnect, Kathy Ireland, who never looked connected to her performances.
Paramore’s Misguided Ghost for Grey’s Anatomy?
Picked up a copy of Paramore’s new release, Brand New Eyes, and I’m thinking the track Misguided Ghost is perfect for Grey’s Anatomy (assuming it hasn’t made the Grey’s soundtrack yet).
The entire CD is still available on Amazon for the special price of $3.99, but that price is going to change before the night is done. Get it at this great price while you can!
Here Comes the New Dora
The new Dora the Explorer is starting to make her appearance in the public. This week’s Target ad features the online and interactive Dora Links Doll game with Dora’s revamped look.
