Lego Rescue Copter
Made this helicopter from a set of Legos. No instructions, just started building.
Kite Flying in Kailua
After eating some crepes in Kailua, how about going to fly a kite? Was a windy day which helped the Sesame Street friends get airborne, but not the dud Elmo mini kite.
The Elmo mini kite was a dud.
Crepes in Kailua
If you happen to be craving crepes while in Kailua, head on over to 131 Hekili Street, the home of Crepes No Ka `Oi.
Their menu features both sweet and savory crepes which are surprisingly filling. We sampled the Temptation in Paradise and Lovers’ Delight (with strawberry ice cream).

And I had some illy coffee to go with the yummy food.
The Awesomeness of Balloon Adventures
The balloon artists of Balloon Adventures are simply awesome. Their creations are great and very imaginative. It’s a family run business with like 9 brothers who each do several events throughout the week. Crazy!
Balloon Adventures was at the Pacific Club for Easter and at Windward Mall over this past weekend. Here’s some of their handy work.
Windward Mall Could Still be a Deathtrap
Here I thought Windward Mall was on its way to financial solvency, beating its reputation as a financial deathtrap. The renovation plans to go upscale are done, and new tenants have occupied empty spaces. Heck, a brand new Aeropostale is on the premises.
But just when things are looking up, this travesty happens!
And the bad news of the Footlocker closure is announced and delivered by an email no less!
The Real von Trapp Family from the Sound of Music
I didn’t know that the Sound of Music is based on the real life story of the von Trapp family. Yes, there really is a Maria von Trapp (who doesn’t look like Julie Andrews).
Read the history of the von Trapp family and their travels from Austria to America.
Talk About Skills!
Have you seen the mad skills of 2009 Narcissus Queen Lisa Wong? In February, she showed the fans of the Ellen DeGeneres Show what creativity and skills she has.
Life Sized Gundam
If a Gundam mobile suit were for real, what would it look like? How about this?
This a full sized 59-ft replica of a Gundam suit constructed in Japan. Coolness, but how do you keep the birds from crapping all over it?
Watch “How Twitter Can Make History”
Watch Clay Shirky give his presentation on how Twitter can make history and how communications has been drastically changed forever.
Is This Less Racy?
So the new Calvin Klein billboard is causing a stir in New York, but is this gigantic Victoria’s Secrets poster any less racy?
This image facades the construction site of the new Victoria’s Secrets at Ala Moana. Anyways, this location is now hiring.
Disney Store Reopened at Ala Moana
It was one month ago and the Disney Store at Ala Moana was under construction. Now, the new location is open for business.
It’s quite a bit smaller than the previous location taking over the former location of Sharper Image.
Return of the And1 Tai Chi
Another serious blast from the kicks past! The iconic And1 Tai Chi is making its return though I don’t like this planned colorway.
I loved my royal blue/sky blue combo with the multicolored laces. And if you forgot, these are the kicks that Half Man, Half Amazing Vince Carter wore when he went nutso at the 2000 NBA All Star Slam Dunk Contest. Oh yeah, the Bulldogs of Fresno State had these as their team shoe when Chris Herren was much loved and hated in the WAC.
