At work today, I got an email about a blog post I wrote on our internal blogging system. I had ranted about how a web site could be improved with simple fixes.
This post made the rounds and offense was taken, and email started about the non-professionalism of blogs (as a whole, not just my post).
Tomorrow may be an interesting day…

A while back Angry Asian Girl talked about bakeries and how some made “nasty” cakes. While she didn’t elaborate on what nasty cakes were, I think I found an example.
Guys, turn away if you’re squeamish. This could be painful!

Got a personal perfect storm headed this way. Carpet coming on Thursday, need to box up stuff and move everything. Sliding doors should be ready for delivery and installation. And hey wait, we have to go to the hospital on Thursday!
How to manage all of this?
Anyways a few pics…
Life in a bubble
Fence going up
One inch rebar is thick!
Listening to some freestyle music, baby!

Now, wouldn’t it be cool if some of the old time favorites got together? Groups like Sweet Sensation, Expose, and Lisa Lisa. Imagine an old school, freestyle concert like that…

Angry Asian Girl didn’t like my call for help to assist Britney Spears in naming her upcoming CD, so instead I’ll talk about how Paris Hilton is helping her fellow prisoners. Listening to the radio news this morning, I heard that Paris’ incarceration is having some great effects on her fellow prisoners aka “her biotches.”
Due to the high profile of having Paris in your jail, I guess the microscope of the paparazzi is watching everything. Maybe to hide any overcrowding concerns, several prisoners have been released early. Others still in the slammer with Paris are saying that the quality of meals has since increased.
What’s next? Everyone on good behavior will be given a pet companion in the form of little dogs named Tinkerbell?
So you may not want to help out Britney, but you cannot deny the goodness Paris is bringing to her fellow prisoners.
While flipping through a magazine, there was an article about classic, timeless toys. And guess what was on the list? None other than Mr. Potato Head!
But unlike the unchanged appearance of the Corn Popper, Mr. Potato Head has gone through some changes over the years. Check it out, the spud was a smoker! Now, he’s a robotic Transformer!
The Daiei store in Kailua finally changed their name over to Don Quijote. While they were under Don Quijote ownership, the outside sign still said Daiei.
As of Friday, June 15, the new Don Quijote sign is up (and employees have new red Don Quijote shirts).
And nothing portrays the eclectic cultural mix of foods at Don Quijote like some Mexican flavored ramen! Anyone try the Cup Noodles Spicy Chile Chicken??
Though I haven’t seen one driven on the streets yet, the teeny Smart Cars are being sold in Hawaii. I saw a lot of these while traveling in Italy, and they were parked in seriously small spaces. Here I am in Italy standing next to one of these Smart Cars.
Makes the BMW Mini look like a Hummer! And yes, I was wearing Jordan 8 Retros going through Italia, Italiae, femine feminine – Italy (old habit from Latin classes).

Lots of new choice kicks coming out to choose from.
New colorway of LeBron Zoom Soldier
Kobe Trainers
Air Max Structure Retro
P-Rod 2 Elephant Print. Going back to the serious MJ influences like the original “J-Rods.” Elephant print is money!
Do I need any of these? Of course not, but do I want’em all? You betcha!

As an affiliate of iTunes, I get sent promotional material once in a while. The last mailing has this kinda freaky ad for the new iTunes U educational material.
I don’t know why, but her eyes bug me out.
Been playing around with some new (to me at least) social web stuff that’s spreading ala viral campaigning.
I have a Twitter account and previously joined Facebook. Now I’m taking a look at last.fm, a music service that can track the songs you listen to and make recommendations for other music you might like. There’s more to it than that, but you gotta head over and take a look to get a better feel.
You can also create widgets for your blog showing your recent tunes or top tracks or artists. Cool.
