For a five-hour transcoastal flight, what kind of power source is this? Yeah, it’s a regular US power outlet but with the ubiquity of USB ports, these standard outlets aren’t as useful (especially when I packed all power bricks in checked baggage). Minus one point for United Air.
Other than being stuck in traffic as the First Family’s motorcade makes its way to an Air Force One departure, when are the other times you Barack and chill? It’s got to be all those times Hawaii residents experience power outages, inexplicably when POTUS is in the islands. This started back in December 2008 when […]
It’s been some years, but whenever POTUS visits Hawaii during the holidays, there’s a very good chance that a power outage will ensue. That tradition continues tonight on the eve and first day of 2016 with power going out around 11pm and coming back around 5am. Lots of stars out on a clear night (see […]

Additionally, the Powerwall can charge itself when electricity rates are cheaper and then provides power to your […]
Gotta love the coincidence. Each year when the First Family spends their holiday vacation in Hawaii, there’s typically a power outage. I believe this started happening from 2008.

Still though, the green aprons of the mermaid showed up to work, just to apologize to caffeine-addicts. Maybe the Windward City location had power […]
With major power outages island wide, we experienced a modest outage lasting about two hours from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. How’d we survive dinner time with out electricity? Like this.
After a windy, rainy night, I’m sitting in the dark. Amazingly the network is running, not sure how long my UPS and laptop battery will last.
