It's "he-vä-ee", haole


5 questions for the people of Honolulu:

1. What's up with the chain smoking?

2. On a daily average, how many drunk, helmet-less girls kamikaze those rented scooters into payphones, and what kinda Jackie Chiles-team of lawyers do you employ to keep you in business? Waikiki looked like the speeder bike scene in Jedi.

3. Why are there homeless, miniature chickens in Hanauma Bay?

4. What mixture of oil and blistering sun will cause Too Tan Man to actually combust on the beach?

5. Where can I find an ABC store?

Hawaii was awesome. Snorkeled with crazy tropical fish and feared every other snorkeler thinking they were a hammerhead, cruised around the International Market and busted out the haggling skills (didn’t fare well- afraid of pushy Asian women), pool, drinks, checked out some of the O’Neill World Cup on the North Shore (saw a killer Andy Irons ride), pool, went to a Luau and ate too much pork, more beach, drinks and caught the last 10min of the Charger win (stupid time difference). And more beach.

Good times.

Procreation Accessories

I saw a pregnant lady strutting down the strand this morning. She had her shirt pulled up and was sporting the gigantic belly that said, "I'm a sexy, empowered woman and the giver of life. Behold my big-ass, bare belly and pretend it isn't freaky." This was all accentuated by a belly ring. It looked like a cantaloupe with a fishing lure stapled to it.

On a geekier note, I figured out how to add audio to video clips. I’m just like George Lucas now.

Rootkit DRM List


The EFF (Electric Frontier Foundation) released an incomplete list of Sony artist's CDs that are loaded with rootkit DRM. I didn't see anyone in the list that I would buy, but it's nice to know someone's paying attention. Good lookin' out, EFF.

Eat shit, Sony.

Lavatory Literature


NetMagazines has a special on Rolling Stone- 3 years for $6. I know, i know- Rolling Stone is about as edgy as Jay Leno at a bat mitzvah, but 3 years for $6? That's cheaper than toilet paper. Some might argue only slightly more interesting.

Refresh Your Jello Shot, Sir?


myscienceproject.org conducted an experiment to determine the highest possible concentration of alcohol attainable in a Jell-O shot, while still maintaining the structural integrity. For anyone that's tried to walk this line and failed, it's pretty interesting. link

Big Sandwich 2.0

A while back I blogged about this kid in the UK that woke up hungover and spent the day building a 8,500 calorie sandwich. As a big fan of the big sandwich, I was impressed. That record has been shattered:



Calories= 30,000
Cost= $47

According to Griff241 (the architect), it took 15 hours- but he ate it.
