Autobots vs. Decepticons in Honolulu

Star Wars LEGO at... a hair salon?

No explanation. Just a lot of LEGO Star Wars above and around the hair products.

Jollibee at Ala Moana food court

Never seen this place before and not vegan. Just struck me as interesting.

Dim Sum at Legend Vegetarian Restaurant

Will have to return at least 99 more times. Only tried one menu item out of a hundred.

Is it still hoarding if you're selling the stuff?

Ah, Chinatown.

Best pharmacy in Honolulu Chinatown

According to my mom who helps out here part-time.

Just another bright morning at Kailua beach.

...and the food I could not eat tonight.

Had I skipped lunch, my willpower wouldn't have lasted.

The food I could eat tonight...

Plus, my mom made an excellent pot of vegan Portuguese bean soup.

Civilized version of yesterday's #Vegan breakfast

I returned to Morning Brew for a late breakfast. Repeat of what I got yesterday from Kalapawai Market, but with proper dishware.

Yesterday's #Vegan Manapua from Down To Earth

Forgot to share this glorious snack yesterday. Tofu and mushrooms were prepared to mimic the usual chewy insides. So good.

Keeping it #Vegan this morning

What's old is new again: Tablet PC Vs. Laptop http://tinyurl.com/7qqd55o

Mother f-word. This “article” is so vague it could have been written 7 years ago. My gift of pattern recognition really is a curse with all these rehashed tablet vs. laptop arguments returning to haunt me.

My Creative USB sound card still rocks after 7 years

Last night, I ran optical audio from my Apple TV to my Windows Media PC through a Creative USB sound card (my PC lacks optical input) bought in 2005 for my Tablet PC. Still sounds great. So easy to Airplay music to my living room stereo now.

Jesus (Diaz) is a prophet. http://tinyurl.com/y9d3cfz - Read 2nd to last P

I pat myself on the back often enough for nailing predictions, so I thought I’d give someone else a shout-out. The clincher is in the 2nd to last paragraph where he gives a sequence of events that is currently being fulfilled. Truly insightful.

iOttie car mount, I've so been waiting for you

Reading Scribbles on the new iPad

Might need to think about high-res ink.

Post-PC does not mean the end of PCs. http://tinyurl.com/7rjrlvu

Honestly, am I the only person who researched what those at the top of the computing industry have actually said about “Post-PC” before spouting off about what “Post-PC” means?

Yay! Glee Gum is here! Thanks @GleeGuy

Two pounds of natural, sugar-free chewing glee.

My universal tool

I use it to peel oranges and, just now, to tighten loose screws.

Reminder: the "Post-PC" era was already defined by those who shaped it. http://tinyurl.com/7rjrlvu

I so don’t understand why people must constantly make up their own definition of “post-PC” when folks who actually helped shape the post-PC industry already defined it.

Never seen an Apple Store this empty

Maybe it'll fill up after the mall actually opens. :)
Those who are there are attending a class on iCloud. Read that on my Apple Store, which automatically showed me this store's info.

6 vegan foods at 6 for $6

Best $6 dinner I've had in a while.

How did my fasting blood glucose (FBG) hit 114?

Answer: a dinner that included two servings of mashed potatoes, a glass of champagne, a frosted cupcake, coconut ice “cream”, and no greens. If you wondered why my glucose reading was so high, now you know – high-glycemic V-Day indulgence. If you thought 114 was low, read this book.

Had V-Day lunch at Loving Hut

An appropriately named place for a vegan Valentine's lunch.

Wednesday, February 08, 2012

Damn, I used to be amazingly insightful.

Read the second half of this post from 2007. Tell me we’re not in the future I predicted.

Rock-paper-scissors-army-Hulk! http://youtu.be/bGt-saFvkNk

A variant of Jan Ken Po (i.e, Rock-Paper-Scissors), much like Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock except the rules are simpler: Hulk is strongest one there is! That is all.

A sad use of paper

This book should be a pamphlet that explains how to read the eBook version on your nook.

Finally got my dream music medly app thanks to @MyDJApp

Feel dumb for never finding this app before recently. First released in October 2009, a mere six months after I published this exact idea on Scribbles. But I have it now and it is a delight. New iOS 5 update is working like a champ.

Another prediction pans out. See comment #4. http://tinyurl.com/7mmvo28

Actually, I think of these more as observations than predictions, like Shawn Spencer. Anyway, my observation here, reality here. Thanks to commenter #4 on the former for the sweet bonus point.

A paper vs. digital argument? Party like it's 2005. http://tinyurl.com/7t8h7vh

It’s like every argument from the Tablet PC era is back again. Except with a tablet that people want to use. http://tinyurl.com/7t8h7vh

Two years ago, I outlined what iBooks Author is. http://tinyurl.com/7m3c9al

Another Packed Apple Store

No sales, almost nothing new for the season, still the most crowded spot in Fair Oaks other than Starbucks. And yes, people are buying.

Organic green cuisine at Great Sage

All vegan, even the "crabcake", "egg nog" latte, and cinnamon bun. Great brunch!

Streaming Straight No Chaser @SNCmusic concert at work via Remote Potato @fatattitude

Recorded concert on PBS last night using Windows 7 Media Center. Playing it back today on my iPhone via Remote Potato. Billy Jean/Poison is the greatest mash-up ever. Must remember to do this for more concerts.

Investing $55M in Carrier IQ seemed like a good idea at the time. http://tinyurl.com/5tgacjp

“[Carrier IQ] monitors network performance on the device itself, giving carriers data about exactly what customers are experiencing.” – VentureBeat, June 2010 – In fairness, I would have dropped a few mil on that too, and you can’t say they didn’t warn you.

If Siri was REALLY pro-life...

What happens if you tell Siri you want to protest an abortion clinic? Results still "pro-life"? http://tinyurl.com/7v7ag9x

I don’t have an iPhone 4S to test this, but I’m guessing Siri’s inability to guide you to an abortion clinic isn’t based on what you intend to do there. Software isn’t politically biased. People are.
