Andi and Chris take their first stroll as husband and wife after the wedding ceremony at the Royal Kona Resort. Weather was a little rainy earlier but the mana was strong and kept the ceremony dry then blessed Kona with a good rain during the reception indoors.
The toss and catch.
It was a hot day out there today at the Mauna Lani for the Ironman 70.3 Hawaii triathlon with some cloud cover coming later in the race. I must have drank at least a half gallon of liquids. That’s me in the reflection of Joe’s glasses before he rides off on his scooter to take care of his aid stations.
A little wider angle shot of Joe with my iPhone as he talks on his iPhone. Joe said one of the portable lua at an aid station went flying in the wind. I heard it was frightful biking in the wind.
Click the above link and pledge to download Firefox 3 when it’s released next month, you too can be part of history by setting a world record for the most downloads in 24 hours. I plan to celebrate by drinking a pint of Guinness if that helps with the effort.
Firefox is a great browser, is free and sure beats using Internet Explorer. I still use Safari a lot on my Mac since it syncs bookmarks with my iPhone but I still use Firefox a lot too.
I’m also thinking that if Mozilla developed Firefox for the iPhone Apple would probably have to allow it to be used just like how Microsoft was forced to allow other browsers to be used on Windows.
Download day is June 17th. Get your browsers started and ready for the download. Maybe we can break a record and crash Mozilla’s servers on the same day.
An Aloha Airlines 737 sitting in the hanger at Honolulu International Airport. Not sure what is going to happen with this jet decked-out to look like the flower-power 1970s now that the passenger service is kaput.
Check it out on the right, I’m selling my own signature tea. Kohala Coast Sunset tea. I got a tin and although it has apricot and mango in the tea isn’t too fruity. I’ve found that once brewed this tea is excellent poured over ice for a refreshing iced-tea. This is good stuff. I’ll have to add a few photo of the tea myself.
Actually I’m not ‘really’ selling this tea, Adagio is doing the selling, I just get credits for tins bought.
Here’s what the container looks like for my tea, a really nice airtight container with a UV blocking clear lid.
The tea is a blend of Apricot Green Tea, Mango Green Tea and Vanilla Oolong Tea.
Here’s the ad to order the tea, but if you want to order email me first and I think I can send a $5 off certificate for orders.
Had to haul-ass up a pu‘u with a shoulder-bag full of camera gear when I heard the baying and I saw this sea of goats flowing over the hill in Kona Paradise.
Aloha Airlines has ceased passenger service as they remain in Chapter 11 bankruptcy and continue their cargo service. As a loyal Aloha Airlines flyer in the past it’s very sad to see the good employees lose their jobs. Mesa Airlines used some dirtbag tactics with confidential info for their business plan but the airfare war did benefit Hawaii air travelers. I’m sure by next year we’ll be complaining about airfare prices just like we did when there was only Aloha and Hawaiian.
As the Talking Heads said, “same as it ever was.”
