Disney announced today that it is building a resort in Oahu in the Ko Olina area. I have been to Ko Olina and it is a great area. It is a bit of a drive to Waikiki about 40 minutes or so but I liked being away from the main tourist areas.

I like just about all the work that Kevin Smith has done.  There are a few exceptions but no one is perfect.  Like Kevin Smith I too am from New Jersey.  Red Bank to be exact and because of that even if his work were crap I would still say Kevin Smith does some good work.  You have to support the home town people.   Kevin Smith has a new book out.  I haven’t read it yet but I know I will like it. 

Anything but boring, the creator of “Jay and Silent Bob” shares his x-rated thoughts in his diary, telling all in his usual candid, heartfelt and irreverent way! Lewd, crude and hilariously rude, Kevin Smith pulls no punches in this hard-hitting, in-your-face expose of, er, his rather dull and uneventful life… well, not always dull. In between watching his TiVo, he manages to make and release “Clerks II”, relate the story of his partner-in-crime Jason Mewes’ heroin addiction, get a tattoo, serve on a jury… and be berated for nose-picking by his erstwhile Playboy-model wife, Jen. Thrown in are his views on the perils of strip clubs, the drawback of threesomes, the pain of anal fissures, his love-affair with “Star Wars” and so much more!

You can by it at his website View Askew and he will sign it for you. How many books come signed by the author these days or you can pick it up at any bookseller,  like Amazon and if you use Amazon from the link below they throw me a couple of cents so I appreciate anyone who buys it from my link. 

A family in Thailand runs these shops in that make great hand-made metal statues from scrap metal auto parts.  I am not a big fan of statues or sculptures but these are changing my mind.  They are great.  I especially like the Spider-Man and Star Wars Battle Driod sculptures.

Halloween is quickly approaching and what holiday is complete without tikis?Extremepumkins.com has a picture of a flaming tiki pumpkin and directions on how to recreate the picture. Cool picture. Although it is not a project safe for kids. It is probably not safe for a number of adults either. If you are looking for something safer Tiki Fish has some pretty good templates available.

Epcot turns 25 today.  Happy Birthday Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow.
