NBA All-Star Weekend

Okay, as much as I DO NOT care about sports...this weekend is the supposedly amazing NBA All-Star Weekend and my Mahalo co-workers and I have been working like crazy to provide the very best coverage. I worked on the Dwight Howard Dunk Contest page and the J.R. Smith Dunk Contest page...which is probably the most exposure to sports I'll have all year. But for those of you who are rabid sports fans...check out some of these awesome pages!

Continental Flight 3407

Mahalo has great coverage of the Continental Flight 3407 crash. Check it out!

Grammys!!!

This Sunday is the Grammy Awards. By the sound of things this year's award show should be pretty interesting. Rapper M.I.A. is scheduled to perform...on her due date. Hmmmm....maybe the network is thinking that a spontaneous live celebrity birth will boost ratings.

In other Grammy news.... Joe Satriani, the guy who is suing Coldplay for plagiarism, had planned to serve the band with subpoenas for his plagiarism lawsuit...AT THE GRAMMYS! That would have sucked. Apparently Coldplay thought so too because they had their lawyer contact Satriani and tell him that he would take custody of the subpoenas for the band, thus saving them from an embarrassing scene.

I'm especially interested in the outcome of the "Song of the Year" award. One of the brother's favorite bands, Coldplay, is nominated for their song "Viva La Vida" while one of my favorite singers, Jason Mraz, is nominated for his song "I'm Yours". While I love "I'm Yours", I think I have to conceed that "Viva La Vida" is a better piece of music. If "I'm Yours" won over "Viva La Vida" it would be like being in a cooking contest and having steak and lobster lose to mac and cheese. Oh well, I guess we'll see what happens!

Once again, Mahalo is awesome enough to have excellent coverage of the Grammys...check out all the awesome info...

Super Bowl Ad Madness!

Well, once again the Super Bowl is almost upon us! Being a complete and total non-Sports person I didn't even find out which teams were playing until today...two days before the Super Bowl. What I'm really excited about this year are the ads. With the economic situation the way it is, advertisers have had to get creative. In fact, MillerCoors is releasing a one-second ad...probably because a one-second ad is novel enough to get them attention without shelling out the $3 million for a thirty-second spot.

Also, Super Bowl XLIII will be the first Super Bowl to feature ads in 3D! DreamWorks will present a promo ad for their upcoming film "Monsters vs. Aliens" and PepsiCo. is airing a 3D for SoBe Life Water. To enjoy the 3D-awesomeness of it all be sure to pick up a pair of special Super Bowl 3D glasses from a SoBe display at a grocery store near you. They're free and having a pair will undoubtedly make Super Bowl way more enjoyable!

There are going to be a lot of great ads this year...take a look!
