Get Cheap HDMI Cables at Ross

Gee Why Life, Pulp hawaii, tech, television

Ross Dress for Less might as well be called Stuff for Less with the eclectic collection of discounted items they offer. If you’re in search for an HDMI cable to connect your High Definition television to a Blu-ray player or AppleTV, check the nearest Ross. You might luck out.

$9 for a 6-ft name brand cable. While probably not the cheapest for an HDMI cable, you save on shipping and time by buying locally.

First off, big props to Rene Mansho for organizing the monthly Aloha Aina Earth Day events. This is a great way to recycle difficult items like old computers, batteries, etc. At the recent Castle High School event, Ms. Mansho showed off some crazy kicks. I don’t know how to describe them other than awesome!

Learning History Through Music

Gee Why Passion education, hawaii, music, teaching

These Hawaii-based history teachers are on to something here. Why not teach history lessons mashed up with popular music tunes? Like learning about the French Revolution to Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance?

Hmmm, what to learn next? The Black Death to Gwen Stefani’s Hollaback Girl? The vikings to Depeche Mode’s Personal Jesus?

Best Balls of Oahu?

Oh those juicy, succulent balls. Tasty and bursting with flavor.

Does Big Kahunas have the best balls of Oahu? Where else are better balls?

Snapped this pic of a lunchwagon in Kailua called Gee… A Deli.

I gotta try this place one day. Never seen it before but this eatery has a history in Kailua and has solid Yelp reviews.

Whoa, That’s a Lot of Fuzz!

Gee Why Pulp hawaii, kailua, obama, windward

Over the Holiday break, there sure was a lot of fuzz in the parking lot of Aikahi Elementary School.

It wasn’t an isolated incident at the school since various police vehicles kept arriving and leaving over a span of time. Methinks this was Police Command Central for the Obama security detail.

Jake Shimabukuro Knows NBA Trade Rumors?

Gee Why Pulp farmers, hawaii, humor, music, ukulele

Jake Shimabukuro surely knows how to play the ukulele, but can he also divine NBA trade talks with it? I don’t know, but Jake’s likeness was plastered all over this InsideHoops page covering NBA trade rumors.

I guess props goes to Farmers Hawaii’s advertising team in charge of getting their new spokesman out there! Clap, clap!
