Last week’s announcement that Hawaiian Telcom will finally emerge out of bankruptcy comes with a sigh of relief. As difficult as the land line business is, it would not be good for the consumer (and businesses in general) if the incumbent telecom provider were to go out of business. Not that the possibility of HT [...]

Last night’s Saltimbanco show was exhilarating! It’s rare that you can catch a show like this in Hawaii. Most Hawaii folks fly to Las Vegas and come back to tell everyone what they missed. My first Cirque du Soleil show was in LV some 10 years ago. Since then there have been numerous themed shows [...]

I recently visited Archinoetics in downtown Honolulu to get a first hand view of what they do. Lianne Kitajima was kind enough to give me the nickel tour on a very impromptu request. As a tech geek, Archinoetics is a company I would want to work at. They have their hands in the right mix [...]

The minute I start claiming I have a great job it is going to end so I won’t say it. So as it turns out I am rather routinely looking into Second Life and its application in health services. Last week I got to attend an online conference conducted by Learning Times about the [...]

Early Monday morning I started seeing Twitter posts from @rozsavage announcing her arrival to Honolulu. She was coming ashore after more than 3-months at sea rowing across the Pacific from California to Hawaii. This is an astonishing feat. Having been in various size vessels in the channels around our Hawaiian islands, from zodiacs to fishing [...]

This week has been one of those crazy weeks with something happening almost every day, tweetup with @sukhjit, another in-studio dry run for Bytemarks Care, Manoa Geeks, North shore twitter lesson and a Hawaii Public Radio year-end dinner. It’s times like these that make the short form posts more appealing. For example, posting a [...]

There was quite a monumental change in policy at work this week worth noting. After years of being banned, the corporate powers that be, opened up the company Internet to sites like Myspace, Facebook, Youtube, Bebo, Google video and my favorite Twitter.

Monitoring the tweet flow on Sunday morning I started to see postings about the Phoenix Mars Mission live webcast on NASA.TV. They were going to show the live play by play of the landing of the Phoenix payload on the Martian surface. At the time of separation and landing most of the video action was [...]

Last week’s Hawaii Broadband Task Force meeting was held in the swank 30th floor dining room of First Hawaiian Bank. They also provided an excellent Internet connection as compared to what I have been used to at the State Capitol. Unfortunately I did not get any shots of the view and the shades were down [...]
