Dolphin Discoveries (4/5) →
While on the Big Island, we decided one of the main things we wanted to do was to go snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay which was the site where Captain Cook was killed (over a stolen boat no less).
Fair Wind Cruises and SeaQuest appeared to be the largest operators on island but as a rule, I like to get a local opinion. With some additional research, it looked like Fair Wind had too many passengers...
Roy's Waikoloa Bar & Grill (4/5) →
Roy’s!
I had dined at different Roy’s previously and it was always good. This Roy’s is located right across the street from Waikoloa Marriott and we decided to go over to check it out.
I saw an item on the menu which I had not previously seen before; the Fish Island Soup. OMG. That was a fantastic soup with a ball of rice and good sized chunks of fish. I did not utter a...

Reactor Never Dark watches glow for ten years →
Filed under: Wearables
Watches with tritium illumination elements have been around for a while, and although they glow for a long time, they’re much dimmer than traditional phosphorescence solutions, which are extremely bright but tend to fade quickly. Reactor’s new Never Dark line goes for the best of both worlds, with an extremely bright phosphorescent compound called Superluminova...

[Twitter] New Novatel firmware + PRL = much improved EVDO experience.
[Twitter] @t tweet-r nicely does this automatically.
[Twitter] Amazing. SEO does work! Granted it’s only one page. =)
[Twitter] EVDO in New Orleans is sloooooooooow (at least it is at the W).
[Twitter] Awesome! Geotagging including IPTC write works with i-Blue 747, Downloader Pro, iView and Flickr. Updating workflow now.

Quinn's Almost By The Sea (3/5) →
We had originally planned to go to Huggo’s but in talking to one of the locals, she recommended going to Quinn’s Almost By The Sea instead.
It is an apt name given that it is “almost by the sea”. With a name like “Quinn’s”, one would expect Irish food but the fare is more like standard American/Hawaiian instead. Michele and I both had the Berry Burger...
[Twitter] This really sucks. In Hawaii with a dirty DSLR sensor and no way to clean it. Can anyone help?
Tom Yum Thai Cuisine (3/5) →
Is this the best Thai restaurant evar (in the Bay Area)?
No. But it’s not bad.
We went to this place based on the recommendation of one of Michele’s friends. It is fairly close to her place so we went over there one day for dinner.
I ordered the mee krob which was pretty good but a bit too sweet for my taste. For an entree, they were able to make me a green curry seafood fried...
Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa (3/5) →
This is day 2 of a 7 night stay so things may change.
The resort has been very nice so far although there are a couple things that are less than stellar. On the first day, within 4 hrs of arriving at the hotel, my flip flops were stolen whilst at the pool. Seriously, who steals cheap ratty flip flops? If you have my flip flops, please return them. Thanks.
The morning buffet is good but...
[Twitter] @sponno Thanks for pointing out twittercal.
[Twitter] Seriously, who steals flip flops?!?
[Twitter] Ready for Hawaii tomorrow (today). Last minute packing!
