Pulp
Pulpconnection Got Squeezed
Welp, Pulpconnection broke. While I rarely blog anymore with social media and Discord sucking up my attention in old age, it’s still a bummer that a WordPress incompatibility wiped out my customized theme. I had been using Canvas from WooThemes (now WooCommerce), and this theme served me well, providing the flexibility and layout options I wanted.
But Canvas is seemingly no more as WordPress advanced versions and gutted their publishing engine. So I had to leave Canvas behind and am in search for a new blog theme.
Right now, I’m testing out Ultra from Themify after reading several positive reviews (and having a subscription to Themify). Lots of learning ahead…
Mtn Dew Typhoon Fail
What a fail. Mtn Dew re-released its Typhoon flavor online, but it doesn’t ship to Hawaii. I checked the site earlier in the week and verified that the cans would indeed ship. But on release day, this was reversed with no shipping to the 808 afterall.
Oh well…
Tropicana Cruch Cereal for Orange Juice?
Wait, what? We’re not talking about breakfast cereal with a side glass of orange juice. We are talking about OJ with the cereal. Not milk in your cereal bowl – orange juice. Is that really a thing?
Now it is thanks to Tropicana.
Fans must have been ready and waiting because this was only a few minutes after release.
But prior to that “all gone” screen, I got a success.
Thank you Tropicana!
Nike x CNCPTS x Reyns x Godzilla
Totally unplanned but totally meant to be – collaboration with Nike, CNCPTS, Reyn Spooner, and Godzilla!
Nike and Concepts Air Max 1 in the “Heavy” colorway paired with the Reyn Spooner Godzilla aloha shirt from the Japan Series. Both limited editions, and both sold out.
While I didn’t plan for this pairing, obviously it was meant to be.

PC Build Update 1
Delayed updates but the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and hard disk (an NVMe SSD – first time heard of these) are ready.
Power supply unboxed. Are there enough cables?!?
After three hours of building (and breaks), the assembly begins.
A Real Voice on Krater 96.3
I haven’t been listening to Krater 96.3 in the mornings recently due to the loss of voices. In place of the daily performances of Gregg, Shawnee, and Wayne, there’s now a constant drone of music. Normally, hearing uninterrupted music isn’t a bad thing, but I admit it gets boring fast. Especially in the early hours that sets the day, I don’t mind getting information about what’s to come.
So anyways for about a week since the end, I happened to hear a real (non-recorded) voice on Krater 96.3. Didn’t catch a name, and initially, I thought it was a broadcast from the mainland (like what I think 101.9 does). But the Kona Chang clone mentioned something about Pearl City so he’s in Hawaii it seems. Haven’t heard the voice again for about 20 minutes, got boring once again…
I Am Drawn to This #4
Oooh, sorry, too late now since these already sold out internationally. But I am drawn to these kendamas customized by Yu Nagaba. Limited to 100 of each but not sure what the price point was.
I Am Drawn to This #3
Releasing right now as you read this (8am HST) is this guy, repping IN4MATION HI.
See if he’s still available by following this product link.

Mind, Stomach, and Butt Blown
All I have to say is Mtn Dew Flamin’ Hot and now you understand the title of this post. Can you imagine the sweeteness of Dew combined with the heat of Flamin’ Hot? I can’t and that’s why I need to try this new drink for myself.
Really, this drink combination sounds like a drinkable disaster in the making. But I need my mind blown with this drink before blowing out my stomach and butt.
Travis Be Trolling
Travis Scott is just playing mind games at this point. Around 7am HST, his site launched clothing and merchanise. One hour later, I’m still in queue to checkout.
I know all those items are out of stock, but that checkout queue is/was seriously busted.
But…
If you try to buy other pre-order items, Hawaii residents will most likely get this warning.
In that particular cart, I had shorts. But if you buy a single tee (or a cap), it does ship to Hawaii using USPS at $5.90. However, if you only want these lighter-weight items, then buy them individual up to $40 in total shipping because if you have two tees in cart (for example), shipping changes to UPS at $40.
So you could buy six individual light items can still be below the multicart checkout shipping rate.
Now the big question is – if a Hawaii resident wins the Travis Fragment AJ1 Low, will these heavy items ship to Hawaii?
Please stop trolling Hawaii residents, Mr. Scott.
