Rumor has it.....islandpixels caught up in, Scandal of the Day! make your own here: rumormaker.com

Whenever we need ink for our printer we get our fresh supplies from Mr. Ink in town. It's way cheaper than going to CompUsa, OfficeMax, Office Depot and Walmart. We've been using their ink for the past two years now. Their prices are dirt cheap and will help you save money in the long run. They even give you tips on printing and saving money on ink. They provide personal attention to every customer that walks in to their store. I guess that's what I like about them most. I don't know about you folks but it always seems as if you have to hunt somebody down just to get some attention in some of the other stores. I can't exactly reveal which store is the most irking, but it has USA in the end,...hint. What's irritating most of all, is that a lot of people in Hawaii are behind times when it comes to technology. Most are into to labels and name brands. (That's a disease) Geez people get with it, it's gonna be 2006. Your losing money by going to those other places. It's the same thing. It's kinda like medication, there's a name brand and a generic brand. One cost's more because of the name and the fancy bottle, while the other, which is the same thing costs less. The packaging is just not as fancy and pleasing as the other one. Anyways if you want to save money on ink for your printers or fax machines be sure to check out Mr. Ink, more info here: mrinkplus.com

Traffic - Honolulu, HI

KG and family got caught up in traffic yesterday! We found out from listening to radio station 102.7 FM - Da Bomb that there was "YET" another traffic accident heading Westbound and got caught up near the airport. For those of you who want to live in Hawaii, don't forget to factor in the traffic. Geography makes a big difference! People who live in Ewa Beach know what I'm talking about if you work in town. Anyways if your leaving from town around 4pm you might as well forget it, traffic will be slow going most of the way. And if your lucky there might even be an accident out there somewhere that will delay your efforts even further. Drivers here simply lack the skill of driving, especially in the merging department. The State of Hawaii should take that stupid, "Drive Aloha" campaign away and replace them with directions on how to merge. That would make more sense than just telling people to drive with care and aloha. Watch the Drive Aloha commercial here or listen to their radio promotion here to see if it helps you become a better driver. I doubt it. Anyways before I go into a rant, heres a lil' video of what happened yesterday:

Traffic - 12.19.05

Oh yeah, here's the weather report for tomorrow "Sunny with a few slight showers" and the traffic report "Slow, going through Pearl City". Pretty good, huh!
