NetNewsWire 3.0 Is Out

My favorite feed aggregator/reader, NetNewsWire, has been updated to version 3.0. I’m trying to figure out the upgrade path and cost from my 2.x version. Is this a free upgrade? Hmmm, can’t seem to find any pricing info on upgrades.

New NetNewsWire purchases (with 1 year NewsGator Online Premium) are $30.

Baby Dog Days Parent Favorites

Over at Baby Dog Days, there’s a meme about parent favorites. Here’s my favorites:

  • Favorite Baby Store: Baby Emporium. Ask Tom (the owner) any question. He got the answers.
  • Favorite Kids’ Clothing Store: Carters and Gymboree (tie)
  • Favorite Toy Store: Toys R Us. Just cause it’s a big place filled with toys.
  • Favorite Restaurant to Take the Kids: No matter.
  • Favorite Family Attraction: Hmmm, don’t have one…
  • Favorite Free Activity: Playing in a small swimming pool.
  • Favorite Mall: Ala Moana Center. Starbucks at both ends of the mall, the Apple Store, and a big Footlocker.
  • Favorite Beach: Bellows. A little rough waves but close by, limited access, and hot water in the showers.
  • Favorite Park: Hmmm, don’t have one…
  • Favorite Birthday Cake Bakery: Kaneohe Deluxe Bakery Haupia or Chantilly.
  • Favorite Birthday Party Activity: Bouncer (with adults joining in).

Dissed by Desmond!

, ,

After finishing dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Kailua, me and the fam were headed out. As I reached for the door handle, I see this face on the other side of the door, and there was a voice in my head.

lostdesmond
“I’m sorry Charlie, but you gonna die.”

Ai carumba! It was Desmond from Lost starring back at me. Unfortunately, I pulled a blank remembering Desmond’s real name (which is Henry Ian Cusick by the way). I had my camera and asked if he were willing to take a picture, but he politely declined saying he was late for dinner with his family. So he didn’t really diss us and was nice about it, but it would’ve been way cool to add to our Lost collection.

Inside the Honolulu Design Center

Went to look at furniture at the new Honolulu Design Center on Kapiolani Boulevard. This modern, stylistic center contains many vendors like:

  • INspiration
  • BoConcept
  • Natuzzi
  • Cliq Lighting
  • CasaHoku
  • Studio Works

More impressively, there’s a wide range of food options inside the center. You can choose from:

  • Stage
  • Amuse Wine Bar
  • Cupola Events Theater
  • Crema Espresso & Deli
  • The Ice Bar Martini Bar

Overall, a very interesting place to shop.

Windward Mall Going Upscale

, , , , ,

My oh my, how the face of Windward Mall is changing. I’ve made the comment once or twice that Windward Mall is a financial deathtrap, but it looks like the Mall has a pulse that’s only getting stronger. There’s the addition of several stores and restaurants, but the interior look of the Mall is upscaling similar to that of Uptown Pearlridge. Etched glass lines the second floor railings, cushy seating areas are now available, and everything looks more hip. Here’s a quick peek.

And to revive an old poll, I ask, “What’s your favorite Hawaii shopping mall?

What’s Your Favorite Hawaii Shopping Mall?
Ala Moana. I like to shop with tourists.
Pearlridge. Ewa side represent!
Kahala Mall. Ewa side not represented.
Windward Mall. It is NOT a death trap.
Victoria Ward Area. Hip and modern.
Shopping Mall? On-line shopping is where it’s at.
Swap Meet and Flea Market. The bestest deals.
