Merynn got a new book and while reading it to her, we came across this picture.

Aveda Concept Spa and Salon, Elements Hawaii, will be featured in Sunday’s Star Bulletin. Actually, I think the profile will focus on the owners who changed careers, leaving the legal field, to start the spa.

Can’t seem to find the article yet. Maybe it got pushed back?

The NBA 2006 All Star Game is coming up on Sunday, February 19. Shoe companies are setting up their All Stars with custom kicks.
For the most part, I think these All Star kicks are ugly, but whatever.
More pics at Hypebeast and Nike Basketball.

Yeah, Jerry ain’t the most gifted or natural dancer, but he’s playing [...]

I, Cringely is back with a thought-provoking column about Apple and Blockbuster joining forces for movie distribution.
Here’s the scenario:
Take your Video-out iPod to Blockbuster, drop it in a kiosk dock then download from… your choice of 50,000 movies… Take the iPod home, drop it in the dock attached to your TV and watch the movie. [...]

Starbucks now offers the Marble Mocha Macchiato, “an intense sip of espresso, with a double dose of chocolate indulgence - white and dark chocolate.”
Sounds good. Too bad the Hawaii-based Starbucks won’t have these, well except for the one in the Airport. Someday…

Never did see this, but Google has an online store where they sell Google branded products. All kinds of stuff from clothes, office items, dog collars, and baby clothes. They even sell gear with the Blogger logo. Neat!

Don’t quit your day job quite yet. It ain’t easy making a living off of blogging alone. Some people have done it, but it’s waaay hard.
You should have at least 100 pages of high-quality content in the can.
Maybe my rants about work could qualify as “high-quality” content?
