December 3rd, 2007 · No Comments · Science, Technology

Leaving work today, I was startled by the usually serene view of Honolulu Harbor from my office building.

(Okay, it only loomed over Aloha Tower, but suffice it to say, this thing was huge.) [...]

SPOILER ALERT! Justice moves swiftly in TV land. “LOST” took over much of the Capitol District in downtown Honolulu today, including parts of the Hawaii State Capitol and the nearby Laniakea YWCA.

We caught the trailer to Judd Apatow’s next film, “Superbad,” when we slipped out to see his current release, “Knocked Up.” Which was brilliant. But the “Superbad” trailer — in addition to promising another winner — also included a wonderful Aloha State shoutout. One of the characters gets a fake ID, and the issuing state [...]
