Naked man shot by police was reportedly chewing off another man's face huff.to/LyKP6a

Zombie or not, I'd call that a justified shooting.

A simple way to improve chocolate bar wrapping

Make the wrapper open to the top of the bar instead of the bottom. Helps those who only eat one brick at a time.

Finally cold brewing my coffee...

...and it is strong as hell even cut with soy milk. Must reduce proportion.

I find broken iPhones to be strangely beautiful

Don't worry, it's not mine. Thinking about an iPhone skin that looks like this though.

Last meal before leaving the islands

Was running late so had to stop here on way to airport. Just potato and carrot in curry.

Last breakfast at home

Potatoes & spinach in a cheese-style taro sauce, plus leftover manapua from Legend.

Packing and cataloging my worldly treasures

Didn't finish but trimmed not quite six long boxes of comics to 1.5. Will be listing a lot of eBay in the coming months.

Closing time deals at Shirokiya. So tempting.

Would have eaten two of everything if I wasn't vegan.

Local flavor x2: SPAM flavored macadamia nuts

Ingredient listed as "SPAM brand flavoring". Assuming it's not vegan.

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.

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.

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?
