Unwelcomed Houseguest
Honolulu, Hawaii

This is one the many birds who’ve made a home within the roof. These squatters are doing some heavy improvements to their nest as the lawn is littered with twigs each morning, of which my dog enjoys as she finds it to be her new play-toy for the morning.

Oceanic Time Warner Roadrunner

I can’t recall the amount of times Oceanic’s Roadrunner online services encountered outages that has left with without internet access for hours. I intially noticed these outages in the winter months which brought heavy wind and rain, which I could accept as the culprit of the interuptions. As the winter rains gave way to the sunny summer days, the outages decreased in frequency however each passing showing wrecked havoc with the online services.

I refuse to plan my online usage around Hawaii’s daily weather forecast!

I’ve had enough of Roadrunner’s *beep* *beep* unplanned outages. Which leads me to Oceanic’s planned maintenance outages. With the amount of unplanned outages I can only conclude that their equipment service and maintenance department is considerably under-qualified.

Oceanic’s frequent hour/day-long service interuptions can deeply impact the bottom-line of home-based businesses, in which Oceanic Time Warner should be held accountable for revenue replacement during each of these unplanned outages.

Oceanic Time Warner’s Roadrunner service is a *beep* *beep* joke!

My rant for the day

Shrimp Lumpia
Mililani, Hawaii

This was our 3rd Annual “Italian” BBQ with a great group of friends who met while working at a children’s toy store. My sterotypical wholesome-happy-go-lucky-singing-smiling-toy store-employee perception was quickly corrected in my first week of employment. We had a suspected pediophile who thought he could make it as a solo-artist, a convicted theif who reported to his probation officer on a weekly basis and a manager who hired females based upon their looks and “hook-up” compatability for his employee.
