The local Safeway has one of these Red Box kiosks in it, so we’ve recently rented a couple of movies overnight. It’s a pretty convenient deal, and at $1 plus tax it’s even cheaper than Netflix for the number of movies per month we watch. Last night it was “Up In The Air,” the George …
Thus, otherwise occupied. I’m folding clothes between innings (Yay, Waipio!), slicing mangoes for lunch and thawing chicken for dinner. That’s all hard work, you know!
Does Secretary Gates know about this? For the past several years, two U.S. Army posts in Virginia, Fort Eustis and Fort Lee, have been putting on a series of what are called Commanding General’s Spiritual Fitness Concerts. As I’ve written in a number of other posts, “spiritual fitness” is just the military’s new term for …
Yesterday, the third Friday in August, was the 51st anniversary of the date Hawai’i was proclaimed a member of the United States of America by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. You can be forgiven if you didn’t realize that even if you live in Hawai’i. All celebrations of the day have been mute to non-existent for …

Those would be Blake Oshiro, the incumbent, and Gary Okino, the challenger. Oshiro is the guy who pushed HB444, the same-sex marriage bill, through the House this spring. Gary Okino is the …
No matter how hard the attorneys on either side try to divine it, putting twelve people together in a room and asking them to determine somebody’s guilt or innocence is in some respects a crapshoot. I say that not only because of the Blagojevich verdict and the news that on the charge that he attempted …
Are the wireless cards in Macs noted for their ability to pick up signals around corners or at greater distances than the average? I ask because this new MacBook Pro we have has not had a single occasion where it lost/dropped the wireless signal from the back room. The Asus netbook, on the other hand, …
As a Dodgers fan of 42 years and counting, I probably shouldn’t be sad at Bobby Thomson’s passing, but I am. Thomson famously hit “The Shot Heard ‘Round the World,” the winning home run in Game 3 of the 1951 playoff series between the Giants and Dodgers. It wasn’t the first crushing defeat the Dodgers …
