Motorola’s new ROKR (E790) cell phone with built-in iTunes music playing still isn’t shipping. It’s getting closer to being released, and Motorola did promise a release before the end of September. Patience, patience.
Dane, be sure to give me the Cingular hookup when the ROKR goes live.

Everyone had a good time seeing Kim before she flies back to the Bay Area. Thanks to 939 for the reserved table, comp’ed drinks, and behind-the-scenes view of your operation. Make sure you buy baby wipes for your dancers and lay down the law-no, you can’t leave early.
Highlight of 939 - the dancer [...]

Canon released a bunch of new digital cameras today. Check out the PowerShot S80! 8.0 megapixels, 2.5-inch LCD, 3.65 wide-angle optical zoom. Suddenly, my trusty PowerShot S30 is looking kinda old.
What? The S80 is about $550? Okay, my S30 ain’t that old.

Even though I got my free iPod Shuffle a few weeks ago, I never had a chance to try it out. Its little green box has been sitting on my desk, so when I forgot my big iPod in the Sienna, I figured it’s time for the Shuffle. I unpacked it, connected it [...]

Kim will only be here for a few more days on her yearly fly by. She’s going out with a bang starting with dinner at Side Street then a quick jaunt to Club 939 to check out the (perfectly legal) action. Anyone else want to meat meet up @939??

Went to the wedding of Ryan and Judie last night at Ihilani. Had a fun time. Groomsmen and Bride’s Maids’ speeches were funny (and some times quirky), but it’s all good. The Ihilani Presidential Suite is unreal! Ryan and Judie, wish you the best.
And for some pictures…

Another new Nike SB release, the Vapor Dunks, looks funky but ain’t too bad when seen up close. Not sure if they’re still available from in4mation or Kicks HI. At least you can get these at a reasonable price unlike the hype driving up the costs of the Tiffany Diamond Dunks.

In an earlier post about Dancing with the Stars, I thought John “Mr. Peterman” O’Hurley was robbed of the title. Others on the Net complained as well, so what does ABC do? Capitalize on the publicity and have a dance off between the two finalists. Mark you calendars for Tues, Sept 20. [...]

Club 939 has a new ad featuring Heidi in today’s Honolulu Advertiser. Grand opening is still rockin’. Check out 939 at 939 Keeamoku.
I’ll try to get a picture up. (Hint, hint, 939 owner)
Update: Without further ado… Heidi. Is she local? Comment away.

Should you purchase music from on-line retailers like the iTunes Music Store or subscribe to music services like Napster and Yahoo? Of course, Walt Mossberg has this to say:
But for most people, it’s no contest: Right now iTunes and the iPod are the better choice in digital music.
Hey, wait, he didn’t mention his assistant [...]

These white/flint grey Zoom Team Editions are starting to grow on me. Price is right too at less than $80. These aren’t the Jordan P-rods or the Diamond Dunks, but it has some possibilities. I’ve always had a thing for grey shoes though my current rotation is leaning way to the black.

The over-hyped Nike Diamond Dunks dropped in Hawaii today. Going price was $200, and places still sold out in no time. Also known as the Dunk Low Pro SB Aqua/Cool Grey or Tiffanys cause of its color scheme, I’ll have to pass. How do you match these kicks?
Read about the Tiffanys in [...]

Be sure to check out kazuo’s new blog, Fireswamp, Dedicated to the 3 Terrors of the Fireswamp and other whimsy.
This blogging stuff is kinda addicting. Not sure why though. I can see blog-like apps being used for work-related tasks, but I doubt folks at work would agree. Sad the life…

Almost forgot. The UH Men’s basketball schedule was just finalized this week. Looks like the Bows will have their hands full. Michigan State on the first game?! I was never a fan of MSU during their Final Four run, but they pretty much killed my picks.
Merynn and I will be watching [...]

According to this post, Disneyland was hit hard by the recent rash of virus outbreaks attacking Windows 2000 machines. The FastPass system, ticketing, and the cash registers all went down at the same time.
du575, why don’t you take care of this when you take your family there on vacation? You already take care [...]
