Sony/GT5 Eye-Candy teaser?

  By Uncategorized

There is something that I have been noticing lately. What is the deal with Sony/Gran Turismo 5 being the platform to launch something new? No seriously first it was Toyota with the FT-86 (now the GT-86/Scion FR-S):

Then yesterday at the Detroit Auto Show Acura introduced the new NSX with a concept video. No real car just GT5 again:

Now at CES in Las Vegas, Sony is showing off new glasses free 3D TVs with what playing on them? GT5. Really? LoL

So my question, why doesn’t Gran Turismo get more credit. Seriously. What they create is stunning.

The journey so far

  By

Well I haven’t left yet but I feel like I’ve already started my journey. The other day I had fixed our 24hr travel time to get to cali. Long story short? There are no direct flights to Victorville or Ontario Cali so… yeah. Now comes trying to find a place from here. Also working on shipping our stuff to the mainland. Didn’t know we couldn’t load a container at the dock. So now I need to figure out how to get the container here to stuff our car in it and some stuff we would like to take with us. Hassle hassle hassle. Ughh anyone got some tips? Or maybe a company we should use for the move?

So I’m moving to California

  By

Well it is official. I just the word that I’ll be moving Victorville California. I got a job there as an IT Manager and will be starting in February. This is seriously major and crazy all at the same time!! LOL Honestly I’m scared yet happy that I’m finally going to do this. I’ve thought about doing this so many times I don’t even know the number. All I know is that it is time for a change of pace. At least for a little while. I know for sure that I want to do this mostly because of my credit score. If it takes me leaving home to do this then so be it. I’ll be back eventually but in time I’ll try and enjoy the mainland for a bit.

Life will sure be different considering that I’m leaving my home of 29 years. It isn’t like I haven’t been there before, but that’s just vacation. This is permanent-ish. Not to worry though, at least I get vacation time right? I sure as hell hope so at least LOL. I will have a support crew out there as all us Hawaiians probably know someone out there living so at least I’ll be surround by friends. To myself, the many things that I will have is all of my memories to look back on. Thank goodness I took up photography as a hobby otherwise I wouldn’t of had anything to look back on. All my friends, family, life, locations, places I’ve been, etc… They have been documented for all the world to see and now for all my memory to look back at.

I started trying to make a set of photos on Flickr to house my Hawaii Memories but up to 13,000+ photos and my browser just crashes like crazy. However, so you all can see what fond memories we have made here is some of what I managed to get in there :-) (If you don’t see yourself, don’t think of it as bad but think of it as my browser failed LOL):

 

ALOHA!

Steve Jobs

  By

Let’s face it, I’m a PC. Always have been but that doesn’t mean that I hate Steve Jobs, I just prefer PC products. I can say that I appreciate Steve Jobs for who he was. I’m not a big fan of the iPhone, but without it I know we would have never amounted to what we have today in mobile phones. I know that if it wasn’t for the iPod the music we listen to wouldn’t be as available as it used to be. Yes I know that there are many arguments to be had here when we discuss how iTunes could have brought the downfall to Tower Records and other music distributors. We should look past that as we now realize that without that innovation we wouldn’t have the thousands of new artists popping up all over the world. Artists can now go and distribute their music without slinging it from the back of their car.

It is fair to say that competition is what breeds innovation. Innovation is a way of thinking that outside of the box, but in competition it is also asking the question, “what is it that we can do to make this better.” Without competition there is no innovation and with the loss of a great innovative mind I can only hope that there will be someone else out there to push the boundaries. Innovate, create, design, establish, just a few words that the industry is built on. Just a few words that I believe Steve Jobs was responsible for putting into today’s technology.

R.I.P. Steve Jobs

This is just a short clip I think you all should watch.

Maui Day 2 – September 01, 2011 – Maui Ocean Riders

  By

This is the Day 2 video from our Maui vacation. In this installment of fun, we take a trip around Lana’i and do a lot of snorkeling. We did our cruise with Maui Ocean Riders. You should really check them out at their website http://mauioceanriders.com. The trip was fun, enjoyable and absolutely amazing.

Here’s the truth of it all right here. There are many snorkel trip you can take all over the islands, but what made Ocean Riders unique was the fact that it was 12 of us, plus Patty and Josh of Ocean Riders. With the other groups that we noticed there are as many as 30-100 people on those cruises. That many people on one boat? Not cool. This was a very personal, enjoyable, sensational, experience I have ever had.
