Ballin’ with Barack

,

Even though Barack Obama’s a Punahou graduate, this Iolani alum has to give props to this shirt sold at Prototype in Pearlridge.


Ballin’ with Barack is old school/new school, retro/contemporary, and fresh and funky all at the same time.

Technorati’s State of the Blogosphere 2008

Technorati’s annual State of the Blogosphere report is rolling out this week. It’s an interesting but maybe somewhat limited look at the trends and characteristics of blogs and bloggers.

Each day, a new topic is published. So far, Who are the Bloggers? and The What and Why of Blogging are available. The How of Blogging, Blogging for Profit, and Brands Enter the Blogosphere round out the week.

I think I fit most of the descriptions outlined in The What and Why of Blogging. Pulpconnection contains multiple topics loosely centering around pulp, passions, and addictions of mine.

“Half of bloggers consider their style to be sincere, conversational, humorous, and expert in nature.” Yeah, I’d go with that.

“Self expression and sharing expertise are the top reasons for blogging.” Yup, yup.

“Personal satisfaction is the key success metric for three out of four bloggers.” Must be since revenue around here is paltry. While blogging is mostly for fun, once in awhile you get monetary surprises. Let’s see, for the month of September, Google Adsense says I’ve earned $6.82.

“Blogging has opened up unique opportunities” and has benefits. I still got my Vudu box for an occasional flick. 🙂

Just Tacos is Just Okay

,

A new Just Tacos opened up near work so I gave it a try. Eh, just okay. Nothing fancy, nothing great, just okay. I wasn’t in the mood for a belly busting lunch so I got the two tacos plate. The “two” taco tortillas overlap so really, it’s like one extended soft taco. See for yourself.


Cost was $5 and I was warned advised that the dish is prepared plain so I’d need to hit the spice bar to give it some kick.

Even though the meal looked small, I was full. Would I go back again? Probably not.

Pulpconnection On Sugar

,

There’s another blogging platform now freely available to the public. Check out On Sugar for some sweet blogging.

On Sugar is easy to use and pretty flexible. The admin interface is simply but provides all the necessities. You can change between various themes, design your own theme, add popular widgets, have multiple authors, and more.

And for the heck of it, there is, of course, pulpconnection.onsugar.com.

The Weekend in Pics – Baby Emporium, Mana Bu’s, Whole Foods

,

Pictures from the weekend. Checked out new infant car seats at the expanded Baby Emporium.


Went to Mana Bu’s for lunch. By the time we got there, they were pretty much wiped out, but we had to get something after reading this detailed review.

Parking is atrocious. The white rice musubis were already gone, and when things go, you’re pretty much out of luck.


The 10 Grains musubis weren’t too bad.


Lastly, off to the recently opened Whole Food Market in Kahala Mall. Was crowded(!) with umm, characters. Some interesting types shop at this healthier marketplace. I shoulda stuck with Starbucks coffee which is right across the way. The iced mocha from the Allegro coffee bar needed some help.

Pictures in a slide show format.

Hope you had a great weekend in Hawaii!
