I Miss You, My Hawaii
So I left Hawaii today, now yesterday, to start at my summer job in Lancaster, CA for Lancaster Baptist Church. It was sad leaving Hawaii because I love it so much but it’s exciting to come here to Lancaster and to be a part of some action! I can’t wait ’till tomorrow when I move in and get set up. It’s going to be great! No telling what might happen. My new employers may ask me to stop blogging during the term of my employment. I’m fine with it and if that happens then I’ll apologize now to my readers. We’ll see what happens. So I leave you with this hula:
Hula Halau ‘O Kamuela kahiko
I was talking to a friend and she was interested in the different types of dance between New Zealand, Samoan, Tahitian, etc. So I found myself scouring youtube for some footage. Well, I stumbled upon this hula that I thought was very good and entertaining to watch and listen to. I hope you like it:
Why is this number ’09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0′ all over the internet?
This number is the ‘key’ to crack the HD-DVD encryption so that you can effectively, with the right software, copy and duplicate HD-DVD discs. HD-DVD and Blueray discs were announced to be practically unhackable. Of course, we all know that nothing digital is safe. I will be updating this post with many posts of this crazy phenomenon. When the news article arose it was placed on www.digg.com which is a news aggregating website. I sometimes get some nifty tech stories from this site. The code was put up but then taken down in an effort of censorship. This made the ‘geek’ community quite angry because they couldn’t believe that the website that they used to expose everything from corporate frauds to useless Japaneses inventions was now working against them. Then chaos ensued. Even this morning as my friend Kara watched NBC news the video was interrupted by the above code which flashed for several seconds before coming down and displaying the original picture. Don’t make geeks angry because secretly they rule the world.
HD-DVD Key fiasco is an example of the 21st Century Revolt.
When Piranhas Attack
We learned about Piranhas last week in class so I told the young ones to check my blog and I’ll post some videos of piranhas eating stuff.
How to Climb Palm Trees.
Really easy:
1) Climb on the arch of your foot, this will give you the most traction. To do this turn your feet like the Flinstones.
2) Pull yourself with your hands against the tree
3) Mimic the sloth
4) Do not be scared or look down, you may lose your balance and that will hurt. Which brings me to my last tip -
5) Do not fall
Here is a little video of how I do it:
Hang around until I post some tips on how to get down.

Kane Hula
Kane meaning man/male. Hula is the dance. Hula for guys sounds sissy but it really isn’t it. I actually want to start taking hula lessons after this summer. Here are a couple of examples of some Male Hula Dancers at the annual Merry Monarch competition on the Big Island.
This one is really cool too but it takes a couple of minutes to get into it:

My Aunt Alice sent me this and I think it is hilarious being a help desk operator for almost a year and always helping people with computers and how it was the same dialog but with a book. Just watch and you’ll see:
