(photo courtesy of/borrowed from The Santa Cruz Sentinel.)</p> What is it with me and these Live Blogging fails?? Seriously. <p>I don&#8217;t claim to be a techno genius, but it shouldn&#8217;t be this hard. Twitter hates me. That&#8217;s all I can think of.</p> <p>Or, my unicorn force field has disturbed the ability of my technology to function correctly.</p> <p>Crap.</p> <p>Well, on with the AWESOMENESS that was to be my live blog from the Capitola Begonia Festival.</p> <p>For my seven non-local readers, Capitola is a small coastal town, near surfing-central Santa Cruz, in Santa Cruz County. The annual Begonia Festival is an opportunity for anyone to build a nautical float covered with donated begonia flowers. There are usually eight to ten entries built by families, groups of friends or small local businesses. I volunteer with the Friends of The Windmill House group.</p> <p>It was a fabulous weekend filled with surfing dogs, BP being stabbed by the God of The Sea, and billions of begonias&#8230;.</p> <p>Noelle, inside The Love Shack. http://twitpic.com/2lajol She&#8217;s the generous hostess of the Friends of the Windmill House. They&#8217;re the BEST group of float building folks! <em>We may not win, but we have the most fun. </em></p> <p>This is Dune, the surfing dog. http://twitpic.com/2lbnv5 <em>You see things like this in Santa Cruz all the time. </em></p> <p>Neptune stabbed BP. As it should be. http://twitpic.com/2lbuw3 I don&#8217;t know if they won the sand sculpture/castle contest, but they&#8217;ve got my vote.</p> <p <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://kernut.com/2010/09/capitola-begonia-festival-is-live-blogging-fail-2/">Capitola Begonia Festival is Live Blogging FAIL #2</a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<p class="wp-caption-text">This is what they look like. Keep an eye out. No, not like an eye out of your head, just look for them.</p> Serious studies have been undertaken by scientists on the likelihood of civilization&#8217;s survival in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse. <p><em>I&#8217;m not making this up, people. Several scientific (?) groups have undertaken Zombology, the study of zombies, </em><em>postulating the outcome of a zombie attack, </em><em>and general zombie-preparedness. Finally, your tax dollars at work for something useful. Be proud your government cares so much for your survival they conducted zombie-attack scenarios on your behalf. </em></p> <p>The studies agree zombies will be smarter, just like in the movies. Fifty years ago zombies were slow and not too bright, but now they&#8217;re quick, and resourceful tool users. Unfortunately, the studies don&#8217;t all agree on our survival: Some say civilization as we know it will survive, while others say we will all become zombies or die. <em>This is not helpful. </em></p> <p>A very conscientious friend sent me this Zombie Bite Calculator. <em>He&#8217;s obviously concerned about the impending Zombie Apocalypse.</em></p> <p>After a few quick questions, it calculated the length of time I&#8217;ll live after incurring a zombie bite before becoming infected. I&#8217;ll have an estimated 65 minutes. <em>This is very useful information.</em></p> <p>Now all I need is a &#8220;I&#8217;ve got 65 minutes to live&#8221; plan.</p> <p>So I began to search Zombie Attack Survival Plans, <em>of course.</em> I found this quiz: Would You Survive A Zombie Attack? </p> <p>My test results:</p> Would you survive a zombie <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://kernut.com/2010/08/zombie-attack-plan-got-one/">Zombie Attack Plan &#8211; Got One?</a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<p class="wp-caption-text">Sunset cruise on the Princess Monterey. It helped, but just enough to get me through the week.</p> From Mega Yachts to Tiny Houses. <p>This blog all over the place.</p> <p><em>But if you&#8217;ve read at least three posts here, you already knew that. Besides, I wouldn&#8217;t know how/where to categorize this whole blog, given the limited options provided by Google and Yahoo. </em></p> <p><em>Whatever. Their loss. </em></p> <p>Actually, &#8220;Whatever&#8221; might just be the perfect category.</p> <p>But I digress. <em>Yet again. </em></p> <p>Lately I&#8217;ve had this sense of unrest, this sense of needing to GO. Go <em>where</em>, I don&#8217;t know, but just to GO. Somewhere, almost anywhere, really.</p> <p>I have a bad case of wanderlust. This happens to me quite regularly. I do love my wanderlust, it takes me to the most interesting places, on some interesting journeys, and fun adventures.</p> <p>But it won&#8217;t be ignored. Like an intense craving, or more like being <em>pulled towards something</em>. I HAVE to go. I can stave it off for a month or so by spending a day or three at the coast, either Monterey or Santa Barbara. For years that has been enough.</p> <p>But not anymore. It seems my wanderlust has grown stronger. A trip to the coast only seems to stave it off or a week or two rather than a month or two. Now it calls to me ALL. THE. TIME. Three months ago it was already calling me constantly when I mentioned it in Panic Much? FEAR = F*ck Everything And Run.

		<description><![CDATA[<p class="wp-caption-text">Mega Yacht &#34;A&#34;. This picture makes the 394 foot yacht look small, but if you look closely you can see a tiny, little boat in front of it. There are about 6 people in that little boat.</p> The BIG local news is all about this Mega Yacht, the <em>&#8220;A&#8221;</em>, owned by 38 year-old Russian Billionaire Andrey Melnichenko, that&#8217;s currently anchored off the coast of Sausalito (near San Francisco). <p>There are three pools, one with a glass bottom viewable in the dance room below, and doorknobs worth $40,000 on the ship. Entry to the master suite (all 2,500 square feet) is by finger print recognition. There is also a special &#8220;nookie&#8221; room. <em>This is my kind of man!</em> The mega yacht is 394 feet in length, and worth a mere $300 million, but it&#8217;s only the 12th largest in the world. It is smaller in size to Larry Ellison&#8217;s (local celebrity of Oracle fame/billions), Larry has a reputation in these parts (and also Malibu) as being somewhat of an ass.</p> <p>I love the fact that Andrey has parked his mega yacht in Larry&#8217;s back yard, so to speak. Hah. <em>Yay Andrey!</em></p> <p class="wp-caption-text">Mega Yacht Eclipse. My new home. </p> <p><em>Eclipse,</em> the world&#8217;s largest mega yacht an estimated at 538 feet in length, is owned by another young Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. This beauty has two helicopter pads, you know in case you want to go to a <em>different port</em> than others on the yacht. Like the &#8220;A&#8221;, much of the glass is bullet proof. <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://kernut.com/2010/08/a-mega-yacht-in-larrys-backyard/">A Mega Yacht in Larry&#8217;s Backyard</a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<p class="wp-caption-text">Questions and Answers. The answers may or may not be accurate.</p> Before I start, let me just tell you all this is the only question I&#8217;ve received in months. Months. Ummm, is anyone still out there? <p>Anonymous Question: Do you still enjoy ALL the actions of sex?</p> <p>Answer: Ok, so I have to wonder why you said &#8216;still&#8217;. Do I somehow seem <em>old? Past my prime</em>? My picture may be a bit airbrushed, but it is not old. &#8216;Still&#8217; implies I am past a certain age of enjoying the pleasures in life, and there has been, or will be, a decline in my level of enjoyment. Let me assure you there has been no decline, nor do I see one in the future. <em>I&#8217;m just as randy as ever.</em></p> <p>In answer to the second part where you emphasize the word &#8216;ALL&#8217;&#8230; that&#8217;s a pretty big category there. &#8216;ALL&#8217; could include actions like hardcore S&#38;M (cutting, biting, knife play), orgies, or a whole host of other things. I don&#8217;t enjoy those mentioned above, so I guess the answer is no, I do not enjoy &#8216;ALL&#8217; the actions of sex. <em>While I&#8217;m not &#8216;vanilla&#8217;, I&#8217;m not all spice, either.</em> </p> <p>Thank you for the question! I blog live for your questions and comments. Feel free to ask me more questions. Anytime. Really. PLEASE? (The form is just to the left of this post. Sending me tickets to Hawaii is not a requirement. But it&#8217;s a nice <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://kernut.com/2010/08/q-a-sexionnaire/">Q &#038; A Sexionnaire</a></span>]]></description>

This is probably what I look like right now since the weather in LA is cold. </p> <p>Hello My Dear Kernutties from sunny cloudy Los Angeles! </p> <p>Since I&#8217;m #NotAtBlogHer <em>(and totally jealous of all the blogalicious gals who went)</em>, I&#8217;m doing this. Yay for you! I&#8217;m hoping to do live tweets from my trip to LA this weekend. But my phone isn&#8217;t a &#8220;smart phone&#8221;, it&#8217;s only of average intelligence. If it doesn&#8217;t work, you won&#8217;t see any tweets below. They may instead be above. <em>Crap, I just realized that.</em></p> <em>Or maybe you don&#8217;t see any tweets because I was kidnapped by a hot knight/swarthy pirate/romantic gentleman.

Hello?</em> <em> </em> (<em>UPDATED 8/9/10: My tweets did not come through.</em><em> In the words of Wicked Shawn,</em> le sigh. <em>I will recreate the awesome tweets here tonight.</em>) <p><em> </em>4:41:33 AM: Up at 0-dark-hundred to drive an hour to meet the charter bus to LA.

Nope. Too crazy. (Me, not the government. <em>Never the government.</em>)</p> <p>What? Oohhh, you thought I was a <em>stalker?!</em> No, not that either.</p> <p><em>When you get paid to do it, it’s not called stalking.</em></p> <p>Someone once described private investigation as 94% boredom and 6% pure adrenalin. They’re absolutely right. It’s the 6% adrenalin that makes up for standing in line all day at some courthouse waiting to pull court documents on the subject, then only to read how he got busted for being a loser (hitting his girlfriend, stealing, etc). Or for waiting for hours watching someone’s house and they never leave.</p> <p>All day long. Not once do they go out. zzzzzzzz</p> <p>But the 6% pure adrenalin makes up for all that. Like when you get the dirt on your subject: you get the photos of the suspected activity, you get the information the client was hoping wasn’t really there, you get to follow them somewhere. Anywhere, really. That’s fun.</p> <p>About 60% of the cases were what we called “domestics”: a husband or wife wanting to know what the spouse was up to.

I found Guy to be very approachable &#8211; he let me attempt to get this photo THREE times. (and it&#8217;s still fuzzy WTF? I can&#8217;t even blame my crap photo skills on this one.)</p> <p>He let me keep trying to get the picture even after I confessed to being the one who wrote the emails below&#8230;</p> <p>(The following is my funny recounting of the events leading up to, and during, the Guy Kawasaki event. For his serious tips on marketing and entrepreneurship visit my post at Marketing Squirrel&#8230; Guy Kawasaki Talks About Marketing and Entrepreneurship.) </p> <p>Letters to Guy Kawasaki, and Jenny, The Bloggess&#8230; </p> Juliana aka Kernut  to Guy show details Jun 17 <p>Hi Guy,</p> <p>Just doing a bit of digging around on your site since I&#8217;ll be attending your Entrepreneurship 2.0 event at (place I work) next month.</p> <p>I&#8217;m not sure if you&#8217;re still interested in examples for the above, but I have one:</p> <p>Jane Seymour paints beautifully &#8211; and possess a true passion for it.

Thank you sweetie! <em>*throws kisses* </em></p> <p><em>I like her. </em></p> <p>Come to think of it, the other one was from her, too. <em>(If you&#8217;re counting, yes that is only two awards. Your point?)</em></p> <p class="wp-caption-text">Beautiful Blogger Award - From Wicked Shawn. She likes me. </p> <p>Here are the rules:</p> Thank the person who gave you the award. (done) List 7 things about yourself your readers do not know. Award 5 bloggers who you’ve recently discovered. . Seven things you could not care less about have been dying to know about me: I&#8217;m a bit of a health nut (no soda, booze, milk, etc) &#8211; but with an insatiable sweet-tooth. Chocolate. Every. Day. <em>Not exaggerating.</em> I want to travel the country and the world, but I haven&#8217;t even been to Hawaii. <em>(Will you take me? Please?)</em> I&#8217;ve been out of the country several times, but want MORE. Alas, I have no one to share my travels with. That sharing of experiences, my dear Kernutties, makes them so much richer for me. While I do enjoy traveling alone sometimes, at times it can be lonely. I love sex. <em>Ok, maybe that&#8217;s not a secret.</em> I love the art of seduction. It&#8217;s like the taming of a wild horse, so to speak: There&#8217;s the measured approach, cues taken from the horse, very slowly escalating, all the while savoring the moment.
