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.
Use Facebook and Twitter to Become Rich
Not in some kind of Internet marketing strategy, but as an indirect means of upping your status. You see, in the past, it was users of Google search and Gmail who were characterized as wealthy and rich (and young).
Now, there’s been a shift to Facebook and Twitter. A recent study shows that FB-ers and Tweeters have more money and tend to live in urban areas. So the obvious correlation is that if you too want to have more money, you have to ditch MySpace and start using Facebook and also tweeti like there’s no tomorrow.
TEDxHonolulu Coming
Have you ever watched inspirational TED videos of people changing the world. Two of my favorites are Clay Shirky’s “How Twitter Can Make History” and Seth Godin’s “Tribes.”
Technology, Entertainment, Design (TED) has gone global and continues to expand with local, self organized events called TEDx (where x denotes independently organized events). Thanks to familiar faces, Hawaii is fortunate to have its own TEDx event, TEDxHonolulu. Slated for Friday, November 6, 2009, TEDxHonolulu is themed “Shift” and will feature “speakers who can inspire the audience to make changes physically, mentally, and emotionally to change their worlds and inevitably the world.”
Attendance is limited to 100 and you must be invited to attend, but still, this is simply awesome!

Remembering Seth Sundberg
It’s been a long time since center Seth Sundberg lumbered the court of the Stan Sheriff Center. He surely wasn’t a dominating force for UH in the paint, but he was serviceable for the collegiate game. Didn’t he get into an infraction or two?
Those days are gone with Seth, also known as Franco Metcalf, now arrested for tax fraud. Yeah, a 7 footer getting a tax refund check for $5M isn’t noticeable and suspicious in any way.
A Box of Old Legos
Opening a box of Legos from small kid time revealed all kinds of goodies.
