Local Ohau Vlogger

I try to find local vloggers to follow, Noa does a good job updating and exploring places in Oahu I want to see. Picnic at Kaiklua Beach is a must. I really want to climb the tallest mountain in Oahu!  He is also a good social media reference for my Japanese neighbors here in Moiliili. [Youtube: Noa Ishikawa]

Banzai Pipeline

Watching the crazy busy pipeline surfers is mesmerizing to me. Not only having to surf the wave, but avoid critically injuring other surfers on the wave. [Youtube: Surf Kawela Hawaii]

Brady Bunch House

Finally, someone posted the actual inside of the HGTV renovation to match the house with the show. The new owner has filled it with one of a kind items that only die hard viewers will recognize. Talk about childhood memories, this is absolutely amazing! [Youtube: Scott On Tape]

At least once in your lifetime you should make cookies from scratch. There is something about the process that makes them far more satisfying to eat than any store bought. [Youtube: Epicurious]

Day in the life

It's been a while since I watched one of these DITL videos. Nice to see a happy family online. I just wish I had the self renovation abilities. Best I can do it electric and switches. [Youtube: Matt & Blue]

Hawaii Surfing Season

Winter is surfing season in Hawaii. If you want to see them, make sure to bring binoculars or a camera with a proper zoom lens. This video time-stamps and names each surfer. [Youtube: Surfers of Hawaii]

Banana Pancakes

If you want a simple treat to make, Banana Pancakes have always been one of my go to treats. It is likely you already have the ingredients. [found on Youtube] I also skip adding the sugar since I smother mine in syrup and sometimes butter.

Robot Bar Insanity

When I went to Tokyo, one of my favorite places was going to and experiencing the absolute insanity of the Robot Bar. Thankfully, Youtuber Abroad in Japan did a good job of capturing some of the crazy.
Sadly it closed, but maybe some eccentric wealthy person will re-open it. [found on Youtube]

This duo explores places in detail. See one of London's famous buildings through the eyes of these two fellows.  [found on Youtube]

DAN DA DAN

Netflix Chaotic anime. I remember how cool I thought Aeon Flux was from MTV days, but this hit some interesting themes. It's a unexpected wild ride. Juvenile, explicitly absurd. Keeping on track even if it feels like it left the rails.  [found on Youtube]

Ko'olau trek

Living in Oahu, in  Honolulu you forget there is a whole other world above you.  The views are absolutely spectacular. A 56 Mile trail I never knew about. [found on Youtube]

AI Dream Worlds

Honestly, AI has not really impressed me other than the sheer monumental tasks it can take on at once. But this video certainly hit some insane looking scenes that most would have trouble imagining. The only empty part is the back story to each vivid scene, only want more to be known. Very much like real dreams, insane stuff that does not make sense, amazing in the moment.

MixTape

They have finally made a video game that is NOT a murder pursuit and one I can get behind one hundred percent.

Honolulu Police Ghost Stories

It you want proof that Hawaii is culturally different from the mainland. I am loving that they created this. Honolulu Police Ghost Stories!

Strata

Skating the smooth flowing rocks on the Maltese Island of Gozo. I visited Malta, but not this site. It is a beautiful place to explore, of course I had a really Vella local tour guide.

Korean Kalbi Ribs

My Korean husband grew up in Hawaii. His mother's recipe marinates the ribs overnight in 7up. He made this and grilled them at my apartment's public garden. Gave some samples to the neighbors. He is now forever known as the barbecue guy. 

Inspiring development

This 22 year old puts most older adults to shame. Modernist details make big impacts.

Cheap, low effort, tasty spicy noodle

Spicy noodles are my comfort food. This is one cheap solution I can get behind.  Solution: cook hot oil in pan with flavor packets first. Then add the cooked noodles.

56 Cheese Sandwiches

A cheesemonger gives detailed reviews of all the cheeses for cheese sandwiches. Honestly, really helpful for making your best sandwich with the best cheese.

Desert Drifter

There is something special in the desert that few people get to witness. Thankfully there is someone humble, that takes us along on some intense journeys.

The making of Priscilla

Worth the watch for anyone that needs inspiration. Best moment is when the straight actor overcomes his true fear of playing the character when  he does a bit on a bar in the middle of the outback.  Got something in my eye before the end.

AI Recommended Trip To Paris

I asked Google's new Gemini AI it's recommendations on places to visit in Paris. I had to manually add them to one of my personal maps. It still needs some tweaking with categories and icons, but once done it will be easy to reference from a phone and provides multiple choices of recommendations as you explore the city.
