Always Use Protection
Rated 5.0 Stars
Backing up information on your computer is more important than ever. We get a fair share of customers who come in with tears in their eyes asking if we can recover their data from a broken hard drive or corrupted drive. We can do surface level scanning to retrieve old data but once a hard drive is physical broken or massively corrupted, there isn't much to do More »

Muffins
Rated 5.0 Stars
Right now, I'm working on whole wheat muffins. A muffin is basically a single-serving quick bread. One of the reasons I like them is because they freeze so well. You can make lots of them, in many different flavors, and then just pull out a few of each flavor as needed! Muffins are good for using up leftover veggies and fruits. And they can be packed with fiber, helping to keep muffin tops in their rightful place, instead of hanging over our jeans! More »

Making a List, Checking It Twice
The holidays are approaching, and that makes me nervous. There seems to be one common theme that dominates this time of year - food. Studies show that almost all Americans gain weight between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. All year, I work hard to manage my weight and exercise regularly, and I'd hate to see my discipline go down the drain. More »

Koko Head Crater Trail Hike - Nature's Stairmaster
Rated 5.0 Stars
A sudden increase in the amount of Koko Head trail "tweets" and "status updates" lately prompted me to rearrange the sched - just a tad - and dig up some old images to pen this article. Who knows? After I'm pau, maybe I can jump on the ol' bandwagon and send out a sweet tweet myself. More »

Plan Your Holiday Cooking to Save Energy
In Hawaii, cooking accounts for about 8% of the average household's energy use. The estimated energy use of an electric range is between 30 and 60 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month, depending on usage. By comparison, a 1,500-watt microwave oven operated on high power for 20 minutes a day will use roughly 15 kWh per month. More »

Ship's Ahoy! - Experiencing an Alaskan Cruise for the Very First Time - Part III
Rated 5.0 Stars
Ahhh, day 5. We're more than halfway through our Alaskan adventure, but there's still so much more to see and do. In this Part 3, we'll be visiting Sitka, eating dinner at Pinnacle Grill, taking in a show, and fattening up at the Dessert Extravaganza. Our boat docked near Sitka at about 8AM. I say "near" because unlike our other stops, disembarking would not be quite as easy. More »

Sheila Mason's Stellar Astrology for November 2009
Rated 5.0 Stars
Happy Birthday, Scorpio! If others try to push you around on the 2nd, you'll be ready to fight back. The Taurus moon is opposing your sun-sign, Scorpio and is doing so under rather harsh conditions, making you edgy, touchy, and argumentive with your partner. Ride this phase out, Scorpio and carry on until the 16th when a new moon in your sign brings you a whole new attitude, one that is lighter and happier than it's been in quite some time. More »

Monkeying Around with Jason "Mayhem" Miller
Rated 4.0 Stars
Jason "Mayhem" Miller and I have been "friends" on MySpace for years, but he probably had no idea. Sure, we've traded a few emails about him possibly becoming an AroundHawaii columnist one day, but that was way back in the day. You know, before he really became the Mayhem we all know and love today. More »

Watch i-SAFE Videos on YouTube
Rated 5.0 Stars
There is some disagreement in homes and schools across the country related to the popular video Web site, YouTube: is it popular new technology that should be embraced or is it unregulated video anarchy that should be filtered? Put another way, the discussion boils down to this: does it offer anything positive, or is YouTube just voyeuristic entertainment that's not suitable for your computer? More »
