You know them Heelys, those shoes with built-in wheels that Kazuo’s kids race around in? I saw something new, an adult wearing Heelys and rolling around.
I gotta say it looked odd. And I don’t know the weight limit of the Heelys, but he couldn’t roll very far. So if you’re an adult and want to get Heelys, please don’t.
The third week of Dancing with the Stars was set to be an emotional event with the recent passing of Jane Seymour’s mother, and Jane didn’t disappoint with a great tango. Unfortunately Wayne Newton (and Cheryl Burke) was eliminated with a not-so-emotional performance.
Other highlights from Week 3. Sabrina Bryan continues to impress with her precise and powerful dancing. Youth is so unfair! Cameron Mathison is showing some strides. The clock is ticking for Mark Cuban. Even though he wasn’t in the bottom two, like his Mavs, he’s soon to be out. Jennie Garth had the comeback of the week after falling in her last performance. Instead of letting her fall shake her confidence, she fought back for redemption. Bouncy Mel B and a shirtless Maksim Chmerkovskiy was almost perfect. Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough are still the couple to beat out of the male stars. Marrie Osmond’s fan support continues to dumbfound me. Even though I think her fanbase might be lacking, she has the ability to connect with the audience. Floyd Mayweather still dances like a boxer though his jive opening with his jump rope was cool.
Is Drew Lachey’s cohost gig up? I must have missed the announcement but it sounded like it. Too bad, he was just coming into his own as a host with his interview antics.
After three weeks of competition, two guy dancers are out.

The legendary BMW M3 series will be getting an extra pair of doors when it releases a sedan model in 2008. I don’t know the cost, and there are too much specs to talk about, but just look at it!
The “ultimate driving machine” is also the ultimate holiday gift.
Went to the Honolulu Zoo and got the obligatory pictures of sleepy and pooping animals. Also saw the construction of the new Safeway complex in Kapahulu. Looks gigantic!
Posted the pictures to my .Mac Web Gallery using iPhoto ’08.
Also got a short video clip of the feeding of the zoo’s Sumatran tiger. Shared this video using iMovie ’08 to both my .Mac Web Gallery and to YouTube. The .Mac Web Gallery version looks a lot better than the YouTube version. Still though, a nice convenience to export movies straight from iMovie to YouTube without any extra intermediary steps.
The YouTube version:

Even though Coco Bean is holding out against buying Britney Spear’s hot club single Gimme More, she won’t be able to resist Britney’s Blackout album. Releasing on November 13, Blackout focuses on “blocking out negativity and embracing life fully,” a good theme for the upcoming hectic holidays.
Coco Bean is so going to get Blackout since you know she loves black things.

The 2007 Pulpconnection Holiday Gift Guide is starting early this year. Last November, the Nike Amp+ wristwatch and iPod Sports Kit controller was featured. This year, the Amp+ is actually shipping.
For $80, you get a watch that is a wireless remote for the iPod Sports Kit. So instead of fumbling to reach the controls of your iPod+Sports Kit, you can simply use the Amp+ for volume control, forward/back a song, play and pause, and to queue up your power song.
Instead of visually displaying your running stats on the watch face, the Amp+ can trigger audible feedback of your time, distance, calories, and pace.
So simple and a great gift for music loving runners!
Season Three of Top Chef is over, and Hung has done it, going all the way! In the kitchen, he was the most talented technically, but his cold, competitive demeanor also made him the most despised chef. Despite getting the least amount of votes in Bravo’s Top Chef poll, he still beat out a surging Dale and fan favorite Casey with a mistake-free and balanced final meal.
Casey just didn’t have it in the finale. Not sure what happened to her. I thought it would be between Hung and Casey for the championship, but Casey’s dishes didn’t win over any of the judges. Yeah, she looked flustered on the show, but a big factor had to have been Dale’s strong finish. In the first round of the finals, Dale’s cauliflower comeback gave him a huge confidence boost that he carried into the second round winning two courses of the final meal.
Everything simply came together for Hung in the finals. Getting paired with Rocco DiSpirito and Sara was divine. Rocco and Hung’s cooking styles and flavors were complementary and knowing he’d have issues working with former Top Chef contestants CJ and Howie, Hung luckily draws Sara as his sous chef. With the freedom to cook the kind of food he wanted, Hung combined his skills and his passion, created fabulous dishes, and deservedly won the title of Top Chef.
Hey, I didn’t know Hung knew Wolverine!
