Crazy Upcoming Kicks
Scanning the pages of Niketalk and Hypebeast, saw these mad crazy kicks coming out in 2006.
The Air UpTempos. Retroed. Remember the original black and white ones worn by Pippen? Original in B&W, downright crazy in red.
Nike Dunk SB Hawaii/Lava. The nickname and release date are still undetermined, but just look at the patent leather, the clear soles, the Hawaiian quilt-like insoles, the outline of the Big Island, and the Hawaiian flag stitched in the back. Sure to sell out in Hawaii, even at $200+.

Google Earth for Mac Leaked
Yeah, it’s a bummer that Google Earth is for Windows only, but a Mac version is definitely in the works. In fact, a beta version was leaked on the Internet and is still probably available via BitTorrent.
I’ll wait for the real deal.

Another New Mac User Must Have Software List
Blogging student Paul Stamatiou posted his top ten list of software that every new Mac user should download.
Not the most exciting list but accurate. From his list, I use Firefox, Quicksilver, Stuffit Expander, VLC, and at times, TextWranger and Windows Media Player. I should do my own list…
Use Google as a Proxy
Very interesting… Use Google’s translation feature to access web sites through Google. What does this do for you? If your organization blocks or filters web sites, this “feature” could be an answer.
Hmmm… got to remember this… just in case. Of course, as a policy-abiding netizen, I would never think of circumventing security policies (as dumb as they may be. I can access all popular sports and finance sites, but access to tech support sites, blocked!)

Love.Angel.Music.Baby
Pop singer, Gwen Stefani, found love marrying Gavin Rossdale in 2002. She may not be an angel, but her music is good. Now she’s expecting a baby.
At 36 years old, maybe she used the Woman C?
Christmas Lights in Mililani [Updated]
Was in Mililani (again) driving around the neighborhoods, marveling at all the Christmas lights decorating the homes. Icicles, moving reindeer, huge inflatable Santas and Snowmen – Mililani residents go all out with their decorations!
On this street alone, house after house was decked out with lights.
Check out the non-conformist house above. Fight the power! 😉
Update: Yep, our own Kazuo is the culprit of the non-conforming, non-Christmas lights home. He writes:
Yup, das us. There’s a neighbor 2 houses away from Dee Why. He actually came by to try to pressure me to keep up the the ‘hood. Needless to say, it only strengthened my resolve to fight the commercialism that the christmas season has become (only joking). Long live Charlie Brown and his love for the dead branch!
BTW, I think I’m the only one with a hedge growing in front as well.
Your blog made me spit coffee on my iBook.

The new Ward edition of Kicks/HI is now open for business. They’re in the new area of Ward Centre, next to the relocated Crazy Shirts.
Small, but slamming store. Got to meet CK (no ka oi!), the dude that emails out all the latest stuff the store gets. Sign up for their mailing list of new releases.

Time Persons of the Year [Update]
Time magazine announced its Persons of the Year award and the honor goes to Bill and Melinda Gates and U2’s Bono.
For being shrewd about doing good, for rewiring politics and re-engineering justice, for making mercy smarter and hope strategic and then daring the rest of us to follow, Bill and Melinda Gates and Bono are Time’s Persons of the Year.
Last year’s Person of the Year was George Bush. In 2003, the “American Solider” was honored.
Update: Steve Jobs didn’t win but was recognized as one of the “people who mattered.”
iPod: The New Way to Get Dates?
Clever people have figured out how to use iPods to meet others and get dates. So this Holiday season, give a gift of love and romance, give someone an iPod.
(Well, except for the 1GB iPod Shuffle which is already sold out for the Holidays, and the Nanos are going quickly.)
