Club 939 Says Mahalo to our Troops

,

This weekend, Club 939 is recognizing the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice of our Armed Forces, freely welcoming them to the Club’s haven. From July 3 to July 5, all active military personnel showing valid military ID can enter the confines of 939 with no cover charge.


It’s 939’s own way of saying, “Mahalo to our troops!”

Club 939 is Now Super Large

,

Club 939 has always been large on the scene, kicking it as Hawaii’s hottest gentlemen’s club. Now Club 939 is literally super large with their new sign lighting up Keeaumoku. In fact, the sign is so large that driving and taking a picture of it was too dangerous, and this is all I could get (it’s the one in the top left corner).

HMSA (and Chinese Food) Going Social

Who knew Hawaii’s largest health care coverage provider, HMSA, was such a social (networking) place? According to Bytemarks, times are chaging with HMSA opening its network tollgates to the likes of MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter.

With this change, it’d be interesting to see if the company can capitalize on and join the social network movement. Who wouldn’t want to talk dental plans on Twitter and post to Facebook and have it followed on FriendFeed? 😉

The next thing you know, local Chinese restaurants on the Windward side will also feature social networking tools to share their new Specials menu, so you too can promote the ono Crispy shell baskets on Reddit, Facebook , Technorati, Digg, Mister Wongs(?!?), MySpace, and more!

Reliving the Nike Air Pippen 1

, ,

Back when Scottie Pippen roamed the court along with MJ, he had some kicks to his name as well. Not as avant-garde as the Air Jordans, but the Air Pippens had their moments especially with the first in the Pippen lineup. Despite weighing a ton, the Air Pippen 1 were stunning. The Nike Air unit provided a lot of support, and quality and makesmanship was excellent. Look, I still have my original pair!



Nike is retroing these kickis in August in various colorways including this OG version matching the Chicago Bulls colors.

Thanks Bill Gates?

Read this story about Bill Gates signing off at Microsoft today. I don’t know about you, but the article sure points out a lot of low points of Bill’s career. Not quite what I would expect as a tribute on Gates’ last day. Some quotes from the article:

Microsoft is losing Gates at a time when “cloud computing” is shaking the packaged software foundation on which the company’s fortune is built.

Meanwhile, Microsoft’s Windows Vista operating system released in January of 2007 has flopped with customers, many of whom are clinging to its predecessor Windows XP.

Vista loathing is heightening interest in free Linux open-source software and Macintosh computers, which use operating systems built by Apple.

Microsoft began selling Zune brand MP3 players in September of 2006 to compete with Apple’s market-dominating iPods, but the devices haven’t been a hit with customers.

Microsoft appears to have failed in a recent bid to buy Yahoo for nearly 50 billion dollars in order to combine online resources to better battle Google in the booming Internet search and advertising sectors.

Uh… thanks??
