Official Site for Nike Dunks
With its timeless style and continued demand, Nike created a site just for their Dunks line.
The site doesn’t do much for now, but looks like will be the hub of all Dunk news for 2008.
The Finality of the Air Jordan XX3
The revolutionary Air Jordan shoe line is coming to an end with the upcoming release of the AJ XX3 for #23. Interestingly, Jordans typically introduce high tech improvements that filter down to other sneaks, but this time, the Jordans have gone environmental following Nike’s Considered guidelines.
There are three colorways planned starting with a limited edition Titanium Blue XX3.
This guy releases January 25 at limited locations for $230.
The white version comes out on February 16 followed by the black “Stealth” colorway on February 23 (2/23). Both go for $185.
Even though, the visual design of the XX3 hasn’t blown me away, I think I still have to get me a pair just for the significance of the Jordans in the kicks world. 23 years of Jordans coming to an end…

Review: Vudu Movie Service (Part 3: Convenience)
In Part 1 of my Vudu review, I profiled my movie watching habits and in Part 2, I talked about setting up the Vudu box. For this segment, let’s look at the convenience of Vudu.
Pulp reader susie commented that going to the old fashioned neighborhood Blockbuster was still her MO. In my younger, single days that’d be true. But in my stage of life with young kids, a visit to Blockbuster is just too hard. Getting the kids packed then toting them around the store looking for a movie is not worth the effort. Can you relate, parents?
One more comment about Netflix. While getting DVDs in the mail was easy, I must admit that Netflix came with a certain level of stress. Watching a movie then getting the disc back in the mail quickly so the next movie would come added undue stress. Letting DVDs sit unwatched was also somewhat stressful. Not looking for more stress in my life, letting go of Netflix was cathartic.
So this is where the convenience of Vudu comes in. Buying or renting movies on Vudu is super easy. There’s no driving involved and with a 30-day rental period, the stress of finishing a movie is minimal.
How easy is it to get a movie on Vudu? It’s this easy.
I’m McLovin it! And don’t forget, the movie is downloading off the Net as you’re watching. The quality and speed ain’t too shabby, huh?
Get the 2008 Sugar Bowl on iTunes

Apple Ready to Transform Once Again?
MacWorld Expos are always fun but the best ones are when Apple goes nuts and does something unpredictable. Something like entering the cell phone industry with the iPhone.
Is the upcoming Macworld Expo starting on January 15 going to mark another transformation for Apple? Will Apple focus more on content for its entertainment market? There’s rumors that Apple will begin offering movie rentals via the iTunes Store. And now the businessman, Jay-Z, is said to be partnering with Apple as part of some kind of music label.
Interesting times ahead.

The Manchild, the Reign Man, the Apple Fan
Shawn Kemp once fascinated the NBA with his powerful dunks. Known as the manchild for jumping to the League from high school then the Reign Man for raining dunks on those who got in his way like this video shows.
Away from the court, Shawn is an Apple fan. Yes, the Reign Man covets all things Cupertino and was at the Apple Store at Ala Moana picking up some goods over the Holidays.
Love and peace, Shawn.

Trini’s Back
She’s back. 2008 marks the return of Trini Kaopuiki to KHON’s Morning News. Trini returned wearing a “I (heart) Colt” shirt and her castmates, Kirk and Kathy, welcomed her back with old school footage of Trini and Justin Cruz hosting the local World Cafe television show.
Now the ubiquitous Mr. Cruz can scale back to weather reporting on the evening broadcasts.
