Haven’t done either of the two… yet.
Pictures from Roman Fort on Tyne Expedition
Kim sent a few pictures from her recent Earthwatch Roman Fort on Tyne expedition in the UK.
The idle rich
“Hey, you think there’s a Starbucks in there?”
“Hey, this looks like a good place for stratigraphic excavation“
“See, I told you Romans served cake.”
“Afternnon tea?! It’s bloody hot out here! When I told you to go sample, clean, and process, I meant get me an icy Frappuccino, you Yankee twit!”
Oh, sorry, the captions are mine. 🙂
More Jordan XIV Retro
Lots of colorways being released for the Jordan XIV Retro. I like this black/carolina one.
Probably will see these shoes on the feet of the National Champs Tar Heels. Comes out early 2006.

She finished in a 5-way tie for 3rd place in the Listmania of Hottest Local Newscasters. With her departure, KHNL now has the most friendliest faces on local television.
Jade Moon Leaving
Jade Moon is leaving KGMB after 18 years of service to become a full-time mom. Or could it be she is a little peeved that she did not garner a single vote in the lastest Pulpconnection Listmania poll? First Tasha, now Jade. What have you started Gee Why?
New NBA Season Means Lots of New Kicks!
Since the 2005-2006 NBA season started, a whole lot of kicks have been released. Foot Locker had a bunch of new stuff like…
| Dwyane Wade’s signature shoe, Converse Men’s Wade (boring name). Bold design. Not bad for the price. |
| Tracy McGrady’s signature shoe, adidas Men’s T-MAC 5. Probably the most interesting of the signature shoes. Kinda Vick-like in appearance with the strap. |
| Allen Iverson’s signature shoe, Reebok Men’s Answer IX Pump (crazy Limited Edition shown). Why are AI’s shoes always so heavy? You’d think a guard wants light shoes to maintain that quickness. Though probably the best shoe in the Answer line. |
| Jordan Retro XIV (men’s and women’s). Many colorways of the XIV are coming out. Waiting for the black and carolina blue next year. |
The boot-like Lebron James’ signature shoe, Nike Zoom Lebron III, doesn’t drop until November 17.
Visit nikebasketball.com for the full Zoom LeBron III story.
Death by Caffeine?
Okay, I like my coffee, but maybe too much isn’t good for you. This site calculates how many of your favorite caffeinated drinks it would take to overdose you. True? Don’t know, but as a precaution, I should stay away from 160 servings of Starbucks grande Mocha!!
Be sure to look at the site’s Caffeine Database that shows that a regular cup of coffee has way more caffeine than a latte drink.
Changes to Ala Moana Shopping Center
Went to Ala Moana yesterday and saw some of the changes Wayne’s World talked about. The renovations are looking good. The 4th floor dining section, Ho’okipa Terrace, is done, but all the new restaurants aren’t. Only Romano’s Macaroni Grill is close to opening (November 7 in fact).
Wanted to go to the Borders Express bookstore but found out they closed! Price Busters took its place but also discovered that Barnes & Noble is now open on the Street Level near the Satellite City Hall. This B&N could be bigger than the one at Kahala Mall. It’s new so everything is nice. Lots of books and their bakery has Starbucks and serves desserts from Cheesecake Factory.
If you get a chance, check out Ala Moana during the holiday season when more of the renovations are done. Should be very nice!
Bye Bye, Vanilla Coke
Coca-Cola is getting rid of Vanilla Coke, Vanilla Diet Coke, and Diet Coke with Lemon at the end of 2005. In its place, Coke will introduce Black Cherry Vanilla and Diet Black Cherry Vanilla. Diet Coke with Lime has pretty much overshadowed Diet Coke with Lemon anyways.
I got used to drinking diet sodas with the introduction of Diet Coke with Lemon in 2001.
How about Goji Berry Coke and Diet Goji Berry Coke?
Custom Nike Case for Your iPod
Nike ID, where you can customize your own Nike gear, is now offering iPod carrying cases for the older Mini or the regular iPods. Select the colors of the case, the side panels, the stitching, and of course, the Nike swoosh. Cost of your own design is a steep $35, but hey it’s your design.
Go to nikeid.nike.com and check under the “View All” menu. Look for the Nike iD Case.
Here’s one I made (but didn’t buy).
A Busy Week at Work
Was a very busy week at work. Seems like something kept popping up everyday. Made time go by faster but also made me think a little. To me, it seems like the work I got involved in was due to the workers around here. Yeah, everyone comes to work to work, but I don’t know if some of them are really productive if you know what I mean. It seems like my recent work I’ve been doing is cause of the productivity of some of the workers around here. 🙁
Killer Kontent for Video iPod
‘K, I’m not a fan, but I think I know what could be the killer kontent for Apple’s new video iPod – Korean soap operas! Yes, the wildly popular shows are gaining ground in Hawaii at least. Why not make them available for purchase via iTunes?
Although Apple won’t be marketing content to the South Korean market, nothing is stopping them from marketing South Korean content to American fans. People are already krazy for their K-dramas and having downloadable shows would be hot like kim chee!
