My family has traveled to Hawaii to produce our Hawaii Bridal Expo next weekend. It’s not fair that I’m the only one who didn’t go. :-(

Ah the life of a geek — someone has to hold the fort down.

Here’s a Flickr image of Diamond Head to remind me of home (I was born in Waikiki).

Publicity seems to require crazy, wacked-out, strangeness anymore. Is it wrong that sometimes we like it?

Danny Way, 2004 Skater of the Year (Thrasher), is going to attempt jump the Great Wall of China tomorrow.

Good Luck!

Thanks to Shanghaiist.com for the story and images.

I’m not really sure what all this means, but it has been HOT all day. The air conditioner has been running every 5 minutes, which will be exciting when the bill comes.

According to Desktop Weather from Weather.com my neighborhood hit 100 around 6:00 pm today.

Can world poverty be solved through music?

Thanks to Hugh McLeod of GapingVoid.com we can see what Live 8 was truly all about.

Modified comment from GapingVoid.com
Why should we (as consumers of music) spend the billions on cd’s, dvd’s, mp3’s, concert tickets, and accessories while musicians (some well-intentioned) continue to pretend to care about world poverty. The musicians, in this case, are getting all the benefit here (publicity, face time, money, etc.).

Idolizing musicians who sell overpriced music and entertainment while telling their lies (see Seth Godin’s All Marketers are Liars) and encouraging us to personally spend more money (through higher taxes) is not my idea of gaining ground in tackling world poverty.

Tell me really, if Bono cares so much, how much is he donating to Africa? I venture to guess that Bono has made more money than several small country’s GDP throughout his career and yet he lives very well. Does it matter that I don’t like Bono? Sorry.

I guess I’m just tired of publicity skunks (musicians in this case).

Lucky. Gosh. Summer Vacations Rule.

Sadie has been in California all week with GMPA Buckles and Callan. They have been to Disneyland, San Diego Zoo, the waterpark in Palm Springs, swimming in GMPA’s pool, golfing at PGA West (at GMPA’s house). But, she’s coming home tomorrow YEAH! And, who knows, maybe she’ll even bring home presents. ;-)

Of course there are more pictures on my Flickr page so go on over an check out the rest of Sadie’s vacation as well as all my other pictures.
