Apple’s Back to School Promotion Begins
Apple has started its annual Back to School promotion where buying a new Mac gets you a “free” iPod. There are some restrictions to the free iPod but still a killer deal if you’re going to buy a Mac anyways.
Seduced by Amazon: Just Dance for $3
Amazon, my music mistress, has seduced me once again. For today only, the newly released Just Dance is available for $2.99. For less than the price of a Starbucks mocha, you can get 17 caffeinated dance tracks including an Amazon exclusive of Move for Me by Kaskade Vs Deadmau5.
Be seduced now!
A Twitter Dinner at Formaggio
Formaggio Grill in Kailua is hosting an upcoming “Twitter Dinner” where guests can learn about Twitter while dining. This themed meal is on Tuesday, June 2 at 6pm.
If a Twitter dinner isn’t enough, how about a job tweeting? The Murphy-Goode Winery in Sonoma County is searching for a social media maven who can jump start the winery’s Web 2.0 presence. We’re talking Facebook, blogs, Twitter, YouTube, and whatever else you can think of.
This temporary job goes for six months and pays $10,000 per month as you live on the lands of the Murphy-Goode Winery. If this job is to your tasting, interviews will be at Formaggio on June 3rd.

Adam Lambert for the Twilight Saga Soundtrack!
Even though Adam Lambert was denied the title of American Idol, I think he’d make a perfect fit on one of the soundtracks of the Twilight saga! The singer is definitely Team Edward and can even be a vamp stand in if needed.
Adam’s rendition of Mad World is his Twilight audition.
Mad World has had an interesting past. I didn’t know Tears for Fears originally wrote and performed the song. It’s definitely changed (for the better I think). Take a listen.
I first encountered this song in 2006 from the Gears of War game commercial. After some research, I found the song was redone for the Donnie Darko soundtrack.
And now Adam imparts his personality on this haunting song.
Susan Boyle is Back with “Memory”
Susan Boyle is singing once again on Britain’s Got Talent. This time she sings “Memory.” A little off at first then she lets it rip.
Flat Stanley Visits Hawaii
Flat Stanley is a jet setter, and he recently visited Hawaii. Check out his stops in Oahu.
Is Tats Shave Ice on Twitter?
Anyone know if Tats Shave Ice is on Twitter? It’d be cool if the colorful van of cool delights were on Twitter to notify their fans of their whereabouts.
Just yesterday, I saw the van down the street but didn’t get a chance to go. I was hoping they’d be back to day but no luck. Not sure where Tats is today. That could be solved by announcing their location via Twitter like Kogi Korean BBQ-To-Go does.
The Hills Are Alive…
with the Sound of Music. Digital versions of the soundtrack available at iTunes and Amazon for the same price of $10.
