Doubleshot Redone
Starbucks’ canned Doubleshot drinks have a new design.
The original.
The redone.
Same potent flavor and caffeinated effects.
Day of Traffic
Some interesting traffic today. Hope no one was hurt.
See the overturned car on the left?
Was it the accident on the other side of the H3 that caused the afternoon backlog?
Or was it the presence of KHON and KGMB(?) behind the Toyota truck that caused the traffic?
Possible Day Biz Model for Club 939
So Hawaii’s hottest gentlemen’s club, Club 939, is a place for nocturnals. But what about the daylight hours? Isn’t there a whole business opportunity being missed when the sun is out? Consider this daytime business model – a scantily clad coffee shop!
Despite the economic recession, this market has been quite successful in the Southern California region. That is young, clothes-challenged women serving up coffee and non-alcoholic slushees to primarily male patrons.
Just think of it, a Mr. Coffee (or even a $11,000 Starbucks Clover system), the same talented employees, and the Club 939 Café is now open for business!
Today is National Fist Bump Day!
Yes, you got that right. June 3 is National Fist Bump Day where the calling is:
for Americans, and perhaps even all global citizens, to put aside their differences — be they class, race, religion or values — and show their respect with a little bump.
So get your bump on today!
Kristen Stewart, Yeah, You Got Me
Kristen Stewart (and Rob Pattison), yeah, I admit it. You got me on your acceptance of Best Kiss at the MTV Movie Awards.
Whew!
Quick Poll: Taylor Lautner and Steroids, Does It Matter?
First off, I’m not inferring anything about Taylor Lautner actually taking steroids, human growth hormones, or any other performance enhancing drug. But with steroid use tainting the sporting world, I merely wonder its impact on the movie industry and pose the question, “Would it matter?”
To maintain his role as Jacob Black in the Twilight saga, Taylor’s been devoted to working out and getting in shape for his physical transformation to a lycan. Would it matter if it was discovered that Lautner supplemented his workouts to get pumped?
Who doesn’t envy the kid for looking great in the New Moon trailer? Personally, I don’t think it matters, but I’m interested in what you think.
The History of Hot Tweeters
Have you been slumming in hottweeters.com picking out the hottest Tweeters? No shame, I’m not judging you. 😉
Interestingly enough, this site was created by a developer duo led by Pek Pongpaet. The creative force behind Hot Tweeters tells his story how Hot Tweeters was rolled out in 45 days.
Can’t wait to read part 2.
See Jake Phase
Phase, Jake, phase. Turn into a huge vampire-fighting werewolf!
The official trailer of New Moon! What else can you say but Team Jacob is pumped!
And I’m not punking you with Samberg’s Twilight spoof.
New Chocolate Banana Pop Tarts
Yet another new Pop Tart flavor. This time it’s chocolate banana.
I passed since I’m still working on these boxes of hip and healthy toaster pastries.
Great Article on Implementing Web 2.0 in Your Organization
Wow, read a great and very pertinent article, “A Practical Guide to Implementing Web 2.0 (aka Social Networking Tools) in Your Organization” which hits very close to home. I’ve been experimenting and pushing the use of social networking tools at work and see lots of what is described in the article. And after attending a recent Knowledge Management Conference and meeting others working similar issues, the points of the article are driven deeper even more.
I have to blog more about this at work! But here are some interesting quotes from the article:
users have to resort to the dreaded search bar on the Intranet, too. Most people I speak to use this only as a last resort, and rarely find anything useful — they quickly give up and look for a real person to provide what they’re looking for
The final lemon in our trio is groupware (though the term, which is now disparaging, is rarely used). Groupware, of which the most notorious example is SharePoint, was designed to facilitate ‘communities of practice’ (CoPs)
Most groupware tools are so horrifically over-engineered and bloated with ‘features’ that they require full-time IT resources to manage, and to set up and ‘authorize’ new CoPs
From my experience, you should question the need for everything on the Intranet beyond directories and policies
Ah heck, there’s too much to list! Read the entire article for all it wisdom.
