So I've been eating fruits at work more recently and have been trying to cut back all processed sugar.  Eating these fruits, I noticed something... almost all the fruits I have eaten have some sort of star shape in them... For example, apples and pears, if you cut them horrizontally, the seeds are shaped in a star formation.  I thought this was just for the apple/pear family, but then i noticed that the orange and tangerine i ate had a star shape on the stem where it connects to the fruit.  Why 5?  Why Star?  Are there other fruits also that have a star in them?  Weird and makes you wonder... yeah?

This is exactly why the USA is falling behind in technology... in mobile phones, internet, computer, appliances, electronics, automobiles, etc... IMO, if they opened up to the public, even 50% of the capabilities instead of thinking about how to cap potential just to keep money rolling in, we as a country would be inventing, creating, developing waaaay more advanced products to provide the rest of the world!  We are holding out on new tools that are the key to developing the products of the next generation.

I just read this article and it got me heated!  Yeah... I understand that there's risk and dangers with doing new things... but that is the process of taking the next step!  You try it, you screw up, you learn from your mistakes, you move on... and eventually a new process is implated which works and benefits more that what you had before... This is just Dumb!! So stupid!!!

I'm kinda upset that we all pay more and have less... when the potential is there... this applies to just more than interent... but applies to our country and the government that runs it... I'm hoping things like this will change... where people in general (especially with more power and wealth) will actually think of more than just themselves... rahhhhhhh!!!  Okay... I'm done venting. 

I was reading some blog about the KoAloha ukuleles and then saw this link for the Sceptre KoAloha:

It was papa KoAloha having a vision about how he created his masterpiece, the Sceptre Ukulele.  Amazing story of how God gave him a vision, mama KoAloha a vision, and the perfect date.  And on top of that... I couldn't believe that you can actually tell the difference in sound through speakers.  I was really amazed!  Not only is the sound amazing, the design and engineering of the uke... just... AWESOME! 

Then I remembered the story of how I got my Super Concert Uke.  I went to the Big Island last November, and was looking for a new ukulele.  My uke teacher Rodney and a friend Dennis from my class told me about KoAloha and the factory in Oahu and their awesome ukes.  Rodney was telling me if I was lucky, they sometimes have on floor models that were blemished, so they are cheaper, but the sounds is still amazing.  So while I was in Hawaii, I called KoAloha and asked if they had a Super Concert available.  They said that they only had one left... and it was blemished.  Exactly what I was looking for, especially because these ukes aren't the cheapest.  So I got a flight from the Big Island to Oahu and picked up my uke.  Got an awesome deal for an awesome uke + case, strings, tuner, humidifier... did I mention AWESOME uke!  You can't tell it's blemished at all since KoAloha ukes are made to perfection!  And it sounds GREAT! 

It doesn't end there... I came back and I read a story of somebody else taking a tour of KoAloha:
