LEGO Mystery Machine
How can you not dig the Mystery Machine
Not a bad set for $30.
Bravo Hawaiian Air, Bravo
Airline safety videos have become recent hit sensations, and I think Hawaiian Air did an excellent job with their recent video. While it may not have the Hollywood production glamor, the scenery of Hawaii is fantastic. The use of hula to demonstrate the emergency exits is very akamai. Bravo Hawaiian Air, bravo!
“Mahalo Marcus” Now Cheaper
Nike released a Mahalo Marcus shirt in early May for $35. It’s not a bad shirt, but at $35, it’s pricey for a tee. But check it out. The shirt is now in the Nike clearance section, and there’s an additional 20% off for the next week. As a Nike+ member (free membership), you also get free shipping on any orders. So that once $35 shirt is now a more reasonable $15.98.
Mahalo Marcus.
The Greatest Hoodie Ever Made?
The greatest ever made? A hoodie? Is there even a need for such a title? I guess so since Slate bestowed that honor to the hoodie made by American Giant in 2012. These hoodies got so popular you had to wait months for an order, and now I’m intrigued by this hoodie, and so are you.
Since the holiday buying season will be upon us soon enough, you may as well place your order now. I doubt that in 2015 American Giant still has a backlog of orders, but why take the risk? Order the greatest hoodie ever made.
Nike’s “Old Man” Shoes Are Wonderous
Nike is easing my transition into “old man” shoes with this makeup of the super popular Monarch line. Yes, the Monarch line is the top selling Nike shoe, and for some reason, I only picture old men wearing them. But if this black/cement colorway were available, I’d buy them right now. No, right now.
Starbucks Cookie Straws for Free!
Did you manage to get an entire tin of the Starbucks Frappuccino Cookie Straws for free? That’s 28 straws normally priced at $9.95 all for “free” by redeeming one of your Starbucks Rewards. Yup, normally used for drinks or food items, you can trade in a star reward for an entire set of cookie straws. Why would you want 28 of these? Give a straw to coworkers or gift the entire tin to someone for fun.
After completing a recent Starbucks Dash, I had accumulated three Rewards, and three free cookie tins later…
Because Baymax
You need to buy this because Baymax
Consider this an early entry of Pulpconnection’s Holiday Gift Guide, 2015 edition.
I Want Me Some 8 TB of Love
With the gigs of stuff saved over the years turning into terabytes of stuff, I need more storage. I need, nay want some 8 terabytes of love in the form of a Seagate Backup Plus 8TB Desktop External Hard Drive. Price prohibitive at nearly $300, this drive squashes the previous spinning disk capacities of 4 or 5 TB. This is a whopping 8 TB!!
Okay, okay, I’ll settle for 5 TB
Starbucks Treat Receipts Are More Discrete and Less Discreet
The Treat Receipts are now back at Starbucks where a morning purchase unlocks any iced grande drink for $2.50 in the afternoon. But there’s a change to the actual Treat Receipt that makes them simultaneously more discrete and less discreet.
The new Treat Receipts are now their own separate paper receipts. When you make your Starbucks purchase, you’ll get your regular receipt along with a discrete Treat Receipt. This discreteness comes in handy so you don’t accidentally toss your receipt that previously doubled as a Treat Receipt. So this additional printed receipt makes the Treat Receipt less discreet, calling for your attention.
From Eco-i-lite to Ivation
I can no longer find this rechargeable flashlight/nightlight combo at Costco anymore. The Costco ones were Eco-i-lite branded, but now they’re sold as Ivation on Amazon. Over the years, I’ve owned two sets of these lights. The original set was a goldish color, and the second set was silver. Now they’re white.
Well, that’s a bummer. This Ivation item doesn’t ship to Hawaii for some reason. I’m reading the delivery restrictions and nothing sticks out. 🙁 So it’s back to the Eco-i-lite brand and their different version of this light.
Few Bucks Cheaper for Red
So the red color of the Dromida Ominus quadcopter is a few bucks cheaper than the green, blue, and yellow. I’m okay with red. Lots of positive reviews on Amazon.
Must Be a Sign
This has got to be a sign. Not sure of what though. Is SkyNet active? Is artificial intelligence at play? Is it my subconscious speaking to me? Or is it just a plain mistake that Amazon delivered a box of parts for a Dromida UAV drone? No, we didn’t order the parts. The shipping label was correctly addressed to us.
I guess I need to order the rest of the parts to make a functioning UAV.
