The first ever Podcamp Hawaii is coming up on October 24-25 (Friday-Saturday) and is free at the Hawaii Convention Center! Anyone interested in going?
Looks good with a WordPress Wordcamp as one of the available tracks among others. And of course, it’s free!
I’ll be checking it out (hey, it’s free!).

Har, doing some rabble-rousing at work with our internal blog! Talking about salaries and ceilings is sure to incite people.
It ain’t me. I gotta straighten that out. Blog comments are directed at me, the messenger of the information. I don’t create the guidance, I just pass along the info.
The vampire lust of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga continues to grow. The series has inspired its own WordPress theme based on the artwork of the book covers.

Season Seven of Dancing with the Stars is debuting on September 22, and the star lineup has been announced today. Hmmm, looks a little gimmicky if you ask me.
After seven years on the air, this popular series may be having problems outdoing itself. In order to hold the interest of its fans and keep up its appeal, the show’s producers might be relying on some gimmicks. Let’s take a look at this year’s stars.
First off, there are 13 stars, the most ever. In the past, there was an even number of male and female star performers. Season seven features 7 guys and 6 gals. A little odd that there are more guys since there have been more male winners in the competition. Kristi Yamaguchi finally broke this string of male winners last season.
Lance Bass of *NSYNC caused an initial uproar asking to be paired with a male dancing professional. Inspired by the Gutt’s mango, the gay singer’s request has been denied. I don’t think America would have been ready. Gimmick #1.
Toni Braxton has had health issues of late, but could DWTS relaunch her once stellar career? Un-break my heart with Gimmick #2.
Brooke Burke continues to tap the MILF-izzle started by Jennie Garth in Season Five. A mother of four, former host of Wild On, voted one of the sexiest women in the world, and paired with Derek Hough. She get chance of winning if she’s a decent dancer.
Props to Rocco DiSpirito for crossing over from the culinary world. This renowned chef has been on Top Chef several times, but can he cook with partner Karina Smirnoff on the dance floor? I personally don’t see this combination working out.
Olympic sprinter Maurice Greene is fast. Hopefully his stay on the show with Cheryl Burke isn’t fast. There’s that Olympian angle again – Gimmick #3.
ABC is lucky that Kim Kardashian has a reality television show with her family. Otherwise, how else could they justify a big booty, porn star on the show? Gimimck #4.
Cloris Leachman is 82 years old. Enough said. Gimmick #5. She is paired with Corky Ballas, the father of Mark Ballas. Gimmick #6.
Cody Linley is the youngest DWTS competitor ever and is on the Hannah Montana show. He’s dancing with Julianne Hough who now has a partner younger than she is. Gimmicks galore! Gimmick #7.
Has Susan Lucci finally won a Daytime Emmy? I thought she would have been the elder states-person role, but Cloris has that one.
Olympic beach volleyball player Misty May-Treanor will now be wearing outfits less revealing than her beach attire.
I’ll give Ted McGinley Gimmick #8 just because he’s been around and was on Happy Days and Revenge of the Nerds. That and he might have taken Tom Selleck’s older, hunky spot on the show. What happened to Magnum PI?
I don’t know who comedian Jeff Ross is.
Super Bowl winner Warren Sapp is a huge dude. Don’t get smushed, Kym Johnson. Gimmick #9 cause Sapp’s decked out in Jordan wear.
I have a weak mind susceptible to Jedi mind tricks and simple gimmicks so I eagerly await the three-night premiere starting on Monday, September 22!

At lunch today, my brother-in-law comes hurrying up and tells me to grab my (ever present) camera. “That guy from LOST is here. The one who’s a bad mother…”
“Shut your mouth,” I say. “Sayid’s here?” So off I go, looking for Naveen Andrews. Sure enough, there he was walking around, doing some shopping. A simple request and a snap of the camera, and we have…
While Naveen thrills millions of viewers on LOST week to week, what also caught me by surprise at this chance meeting was the sight of a long lost Hawaii legend. Assisting Naveen with his shopping was, I assume, a personal shopper of the store. Seeing this guy again brought back forgotten memories. I don’t know his name, but I remember his face and his well coiffed look. This guy has been in the game for a long time, going back to the men’s shoe department at Liberty House Pearlridge.
Over the years, I don’t know how many pairs of shoes I bought from this fashionista. Heck, I probably bought my Nike Huarache basketball kicks in high school from him. Work shoes, dress shoes, casual shoes, you name it, he was there. Many from the Leeward side were probably assisted by his shoe horn.
In the recent years though I didn’t see this guy around so it was good to see that he was still doing his thing though moving to a new locale and perhaps expanding his scope to include all fashions. Me and Naveen thank this long lost Hawaii legend for his continued passion for fashion.
Just some pictures seen over this weekend.

I’m still getting my head around the Twilight universe created by Stephenie Meyer (did you know a movie is coming out?), and Borders is really pushing Meyer’s work. Witness these Borders displays.
As a juxtaposition, look what Barnes and Noble is featuring at one of their locations. It’s Lottery by local Hawaii author, Patricia Wood.
