After quite a bit of prodding by friends, I’ve finally started to play golf on a regular basis. I’ve been taking lessons up at Leilehua Golf Club near Schofield and the pro there has been helping me to un-learn some bad habits. It’s been hard work but it’s already proving to be rewarding. I really wish I would have started doing this two years ago when Ray was still on the island.
I’ve been using Hulu.com for a few months now and its gotta be one of my favorite sites on the net for streaming content. In case you haven’t already heard of it, definitely go sign up for the private beta and start watching your favorite TV shows today online! I’m tellin’ ya, I almost have no need for a cable box anymore. I just wish that there was a better option than Time Warner out here in Hawaii.
If you guys are wondering where I’ve been, I finally made it back home for the holidays after nearly ten months away. It was a really long flight and I had countless layovers and delays but it was well worth it. I’ll see you all when I return and I’ll be bringing my cousin and her friend along for a visit. Hapy holidays and God Bless.
This morning some of my friends and I headed down to Waikiki to participate in the annual Toys for Tots Motorcycle cruise. The weather wasn’t on our side, but it was pretty cool to see everyone come from all over the island to meet up at Ala Moana Beach Park and make the 3 mile journey to Kapiolani Community College with their gifts. I added a few photos up that I got from Roth, but since it was so wet outside I didn’t take any pictures. Hopefully more will surface from some of my other friend’s soon.
It’s been about ten days now since I’ve installed Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard on the MacBook and, aside from a bizarre installation bug where the target installation media takes 20 minutes to appear on the installation path screen, it’s been fairly painless. The new features far outweigh the cost and I’ve noticed that things are much faster to render on screen, especially when multi-tasking. Spaces, the new virtual desktop manager application, is fantastic too. It’s easy to navigate and keep things organized. I don’t think I’ll be going back to Microsoft any time soon.
PS~ I heard Corinne’s MacBook charger caught on fire yesterday! YIKES!!! Mine doesn’t seem to have a problem dissipating heat but I guess I might have to check and see if there has been a recall. I leave this thing plugged in all the time and that would suck to have my house burn down because of it.
Interestingness...
