Building a Team Site
Just playing around and building a new team site to replace our old team site. Same but different…
DUI Up the Street
Saw a DUI arrest go down on Friday night on my street. A car ran into two parked cars and tried (unsuccessfully) to drive away. I didn’t witness the actual event, but did hear the crash and saw what looked like the driver trying to dislodge her car from the parked vehicles. After gunning the engine and with wheels screeching, the car got free and puttered along until the engine wouldn’t go any more. About 6 police vehicles arrived in a matter of minutes and got the situation under control.
Fortunately, no one was hurt, but there was significant damage to the parked vehicles. And it even appeared the the driver was in an earlier accident with her car showing additional signs of damage.
Don’t drink and drive.
Respect Your Ingredients
Episode 8 of Top Chef was somewhat of a shocker. Lessons learned down on the farm, respect your ingredients (and proteins) and past performance means nothing.
For these two reasons, Ariane was ousted after mangling her team’s lamb dish. Tom Colicchio presented his philosophy of cooking, stressing the respect chefs show their ingredients. Ariane, he felt, dishonored her lamb with her butchering. Even though Ariane has done well with lamb in past competitions, each elimination brings a clean slate, so Ariane was dismissed.
“Fockya” Says Skynet
Maybe it’s one too many trips to Starbucks, but I have proof that I’m not hallucinating. Skynet really did go online with Hawaii’s early digital television cutover, and it’s slowly growing. For now, the immature sentient has a sense of humor and is toying with us. Just look at this message, it left me.
That’s right – “Fockya”. Surely, this can’t be the radio text for Aaliyah’s Back and Forth.
Not Surprised. Bye Circuit City
Somehow I’m not totally surprised all Circuit City locations will be closing their doors. Whenever I went there for sale items, the Hawaii store would be sold out.
Wonder what will take it’s place in a somewhat visible area in Pearl City right next to Pearlridge and Starbucks?
Similar But Different Kicks – Kobe and Lebron
Some similar but different kicks from Kobe Bryant and Lebron James.

Need Ankle Insurance? Kobe Got You Covered
Nike continues to promote Kobe Bryant and his signature shoes with the latest “NotMyBrokenAnkles” campaign. Here is part of the message Kobe released as President of Ankle Insurance Co.:
Broken ankles can happen at anytime. Don’t let your friends, loved ones or opponents suffer from slow game any longer. If your superior quickness has ever broken someone’s ankles, don’t just laugh at them. Get them the piece of mind they so desperately need.
Of course, the push here is to buy the Zoom Kobe IV which is available in a rainbow of colors.
Frak, Did I Miss the BSG Start?
Whew, nope. It’s on Friday. That Sci-Fi ad had me for a moment saying new episodes tonight. Only 10 more episodes in the Battlestar Galactica story.
Who’s the last remaining Cylon?
What? No School Tomorrow
Looks like kids are getting a break tomorrow. Wonder if the weather will be that bad?
Yes, My TV Is Still Working
Reporting in. My television is still working with Hawaii’s early move to digital television (though I had no concern as an Oceanic cable subscriber).
I’m still keeping an eye on our Roomba for any funny business.
You Got to Be Kidding Me?
I don’t know what’s up with Don Quijote, but come on now. I have to wonder about some of the products they sell. This is scary.
What do you make of this?
