Spoilers of Upcoming Glee

, , ,

I hate to spoil your glee, but with the series start of Glee not until September, I couldn’t resist reading spoilers of upcoming Glee episodes. Sounds like there’ll be a musical performance of some sort in every show starting with a raunchy rendition of Push It followed by Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).

Me and the family have watched bits of the Glee pilot time and time again, not quite every day but several times a week! We’re giddy for Glee!

Hawaii Has the Most Millionaires!

,

But of course, otherwise how can you afford “lucky you live Hawaii?”

Yes, Hawaii does lead the US in the percent of millionaires per overall population. A millionaire is defined as a “household… with $1 million or more in investable or liquid assets, excluding sponsored retirement plans and real estate,” and Hawaii has 28,363 of them.

Here’s the top five:

  1. Hawaii (6.4 percent)
  2. Maryland (6.3 percent)
  3. New Jersey (6.2 percent)
  4. Connecticut (6.2 percent)
  5. Virginia (5.5 percent)

Personally, I think a fair share of Hawaii millionaires live in Mauka, the stomping grounds of the Tabasco Man’s expanding kingdom.

Hey There Hurley x2

,

Just had another run in with Jorge Garcia from LOST. I was just sitting in the car with napping kids when I see him going into his car parked right in front of ours. With the kids sleeping, all I could do was wave hello, and “Uncle Hurley” (as the kids call him) waved back.

Sorry, I didn’t take a paparazzi pic since I know Jorge doesn’t dig those pics but is very willing to take a picture if approached politely.  I still get a kick when I randomly come across stars from LOST doing their daily business around town.

Serious Technical Issues

, ,

Pulpconnection has been experiencing some serious technical issues recently. Hosting provider Dreamhost has provided some support to no avail. So if the site vanishes again, you know there are still problems.

Fortunately, I know a smart dude who’s been helping troubleshoot the root of the problem (thanks Ryan Kanno!). That and I’m doing the brute force method of maximizing server resources to see if that helps. Pulpconnection will be moving to a Dreamhost Private Server (PS) to see if having more dedicated resources can temporarily overcome the real technical issues.

The switch to Dreamhost PS won’t mean anything to viewers since it should be one of those “seamless” transitions.
