From The Counter
Just a few pics from a previous dinner at The Counter in Kahala Mall.

Kanye West Covered by The Fray
I don’t follow American Idol but heard that Kris did a cover of Heartless by Kanye West. Seemingly, The Fray also did a cover of the song which isn’t too bad. See for yourself.
Still like Kanye’s original version? You do know that you can pick up Kanye’s 808 & Heartbreak for only $5 for a limited time on Amazon, right? And for comparison, here’s the original version of Heartbreak.
Run Super Natural with Nike Free
Watch this parody of runners who train in the buff at Bear Butte Running Camp! These runners are not natural runners. They are super natural runners, and of course wear Nike Free on their feet (which also comes in size 15 for that Asian brother!).
Watch as they apply the SPF 45 with the sprayer and did you catch that hot dog reference during the barbeque? Hilarious!
See how flexible the Nike Free running shoes are!!
More Pulpconnection Changes
Things at Pulpconnection continue to change. I’ve been tinkering around with some stuff to see how it works.
I’ve changed my “subscriptions” around and consolidated my main ones in the Connect section in the sidebar.
I installed Google FriendConnect along with a few of its gadgets. I’m currently using the Members gadget, Recommendations, and the Social bar. I’ll probably keep the Members and Recommendations gadgets. Not sure about the obtrusive Social bar which you now see at the very top. I also want to see if users can login to comment using their Google account via FriendConnect.
If you read a post you like, there’s a Recommend It! button at the end of the full post. These recommendations feed the Recommended stories gadget in the sidebar. I haven’t completely figured out the Recommend It button though since it shows on the very first post on the home page but not the other posts. But if go to a specific post, you’ll see the Recommend It button for each post.
With Google FriendConnect, I might drop the MyBlogLog Recent Visitors. They used to be THE game in town, but I hardly see any new MyBlogLog users roll through here anymore.
I tweaked the Top Posts widget to show the five most viewed posts from the past 30 days instead of the all time top posts.
And I forgot that Suggestions tab floating on the side of the screen. That’s powered by Skribit (and seen on Paul Stamatiou’s site). If you have any suggestions or recommendations for Pulpconnection, you can use this to provide your ideas.
The Bibleberry
Went to a service this morning where the pastor was reciting psalms stored on his Blackberry. How forward thinking!
I dubbed this smartphone the “Bibleberry.”
Save Kaho’olawe
Yo environmentalists! Did you know you can help restore the Hawaiian island Kaho’olawe? You can sign up for a four-day tour to clean up the desolate land and plant new vegetation. Of course, you do need to be wary of unexploded ordinance (UXO) during your stay.
If interested, you can get more info here. There’s a Facebook page about the volunteer effort and some pictures on FB.
Nike Trainer Reborn
Back in the day, Bo Jackson and John McEnroe wore Nike Air Trainers and made them classic kicks. Taking from this inspiration and enlisting Bryan Clay, Adrian Peterson, Larry Fitzgerald, Troy Polamalu, Brandon Roy, and Amare Stoudemire, Nike has given life to the Nike Trainer 1.
The Trainer 1 features Nike DiamondFLX, “a patent-pending outsole system that provides flexibility and support through multi-directional movement,” a Max Air unit, and FlyWire.
These kicks release on July 1, 2009 unless you’re a supporter of boxer Manny Pacquiao. The Pacman and Nike teamed up for a special version of the Trainer 1 that went to his friends and family and with 100 pairs sold in select stores.

A Commencement Shaka Instead of a Handshake?
This weekend, UH will have its graduation ceremony with one twist. There will be no congratulatory handshake from the Manoa Chancellor, Virginia Hinshaw, due to fears about transmitting swine flu.
Yes, the H1N1 influenza A virus is present at the UH dorms, and the chancellor who also is an expert in infectious disease does not want to potentially spread the virus by shaking thousands of hands.
I say give the graduates a commencement shaka instead of a shake!
