• McCully Fire Station update
  03/30/09
  Anyway, the old station went down last year and the new one is looking pretty good. Modern.
  
  
• Can Bowl-O-Drome be saved?
  03/30/09
  Preposterous? Sure. But I sense a longing in the community for more unity and peace, as opposed to concrete and isolation.
  
  
• Sunny day for solarites
  03/30/09
  Question is, which would double first: Apple or Sunpower Tech? Citigroup or Goldman Sachs?
  
  
• You Twit!
  03/26/09
  Hmm... if I get an iPhone, twitting (or twittering) follows. I just can't stand the thought of paying $130 a month (unlimited minutes) just to use it.
  
  
• In Buffett, I trust
  03/26/09
  Tuesday, Mar. 24, 2009 A rather quiet day on the market front....
  
  
• Tough Aloha
  03/24/09
  They leave for the Nike tourney in Arizona soon enough -- April 15. Conditioning is going to be a big factor. We'll see if the entire team gets in top shape by then.
  
  
• Write this 100 times on the board
  03/24/09
  Only those of stick to discipline -- those who fight and run away live to fight another day -- survive.
  
  
• Fed sets plan for toxic assets
  03/24/09
  Friday, Mar. 20, 2009 Ugh. This is good news, but after selling a major chunk of C, why now?...
  
  
• A little peace
  03/24/09
  I still made 10% for the week. That's no 70%, but it's better than my modest goal of 1% average gain per week. (At 1% per week, that's 52% for a year. I'll take that all the time.)
  
  
• Step back, fool
  03/20/09
  Where does C go from here? My guess is C goes sideways until earnings, which is a month away. Stuck in traffic. Meanwhile, I'm one of the fools stuck right there with it.
  
  
• Obama Effect in Cali
  03/20/09
  Then there's Obama's appearance with Jay Leno tomorrow night. There might not be as scintillating -- or profitable -- a week like this for a long time to come.
  
  
• Apple is sweet
  03/20/09
  Wednesday, Mar. 18, 2009 Apple's new software for the iPhone is getting positive reviews....
  
  
• Riders of the Storm
  03/20/09
  Using play money, AIG is still on my radar. I can't fathom going in at this after-hours level, but watching it in the early morning might be worth a few buccos.
  
  
• Kass has spoken
  03/20/09
  Kass: "You can buy banks. You can buy credit. You can buy most equities as long as you diversify and stay with market leaders that are free cash-flow generators that don't rely on the kindness of strangers in the debt market."
  
  
• The Obama Effect
  03/20/09
  All I know is, management and discipline separate the winners from the losers, much like a 2-minute offense or controlling the clock in the waning minutes of a tight basketball game.
  
  
• Going to Town?
  03/20/09
  As of last week (Mar. 10), Town said he's ready to "load up the truck," buying great stocks that are on sale. Interesting huh?
  
  
• Tide turning against unruly bears?
  03/20/09
  I'm not talking about Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlesberger. The real Big Ben is Bernanke
  
  
• A battle cry against modern technology
  03/20/09
  Trying to explain that Polynesians are not genetically linked to the lost tribe of Israel will fall on some deaf ears.
  
  
• Rainbow basketball
  03/17/09
  Cut Coach Nash some slack. For now.
  
  
• New iPhone software
  03/17/09
  Just touching the iPhone, like I did yesterday at the always-crowded Apple store at Ala Moana, is an automatic joy button for me.
  
  
• Dollars and Apples
  03/17/09
  So, which is a "safer" bet? A financial like C or Wells Fargo, or Apple?
  
  
• Buffett's breakfast blast
  03/17/09
  Strangely (and stupidly) enough, all of Buffett's upside perspective didn't register with me in terms of Wells Fargo (WFC). I never once thought to study it. Sure enough, WFC is another financial soaring higher.
  
  
• Kailua's youth brigade
  03/17/09
  Thursday, Mar. 11, 2009 The winds blew and the long shadow of Punchbowl fell over the field....
  
  
• Still holding your Google shares?
  03/17/09
  Wednesday, Mar. 11, 2009 Here's an overly optimistic view of Google shares....
  
  
• Stewart skewers CNBC
  03/17/09
  Tuesday, Mar. 10, 2009...
  
  
• Can we C clearly?
  03/17/09
  I'm thinking "play" money is all right on C at $1. Just like Apple at $78, though trading C would seem more like trusting deadbeats and card sharks with hard-earned cash.
  
  
• Early recruiting sucks
  03/17/09
  People could e-mail me links to stories online and all the fines would be enforced by the new agency in charge of shutting up the stupid media who turn this whole process into a circus. The agency would be called STFU (Stop The Foolish Uber-Hype) and all proceeds would go to a designated charity/nonprofit.
  
  
• Game of the year?
  03/11/09
  Friday, Mar. 6, 2009 No, I'm not going to say that last night's Kahuku-Punahou game was all that. But it was really close....
  
  
• Protect this House: Pii Minns
  03/06/09
  "I text Kawika a lot. He'll come watch our games and tell me what I did. He'll share his knowledge and tell me when I'm really emotional," Minns said. "He tells me not to show it."
  
  
• Lie to me
  03/06/09
  Bobbie Awa's concerns about their "tweenish" attitudes were strong in December. By late February, this was a team that knew how to get down to business. No fear, great execution, and I really, really, really love the way they use those UCLA cuts (high-post screens) to get a bunch of easy layups every night.
  
  
• The end of wired connections?
  03/06/09
  What interesting times we live in. I just hope all those wireless waves in air aren't going to turn my DNA into that of a giraffe or orangutan. At least not right now.
  
  
• Big Dance tips off today
  03/06/09
  Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2009 Previews were in this morning's Star-Bulletin....
  
  
• Calamansi is cool
  03/06/09
  Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2009 The folks at Aloha Maid juice company ... they are geniuses....
