Bytemarks

Our monthly Bytemarks Lunch gathering, usually the last Friday of the month, found us at local high tech alternative energy manufacturer, Sopogy. We got treated to an overview of Sopogy solar energy technology, courtesy of Van Matsushige. One bit of trivia, since many people ask where did they get their name, Sopogy. According to Van it is a mashup of Solar, Power, Technology. In the video, Van explains the basic operations of the MicroCSP, Concentrated Solar Power unit. The company has installations around the world in Asia, Middle East and on the West Coast. According to an article in PBN, Sopogy has “secured and is fulfilling more than $1.3 billion worth of sales.” Definitely a company to watch.  Much mahalo to Van, Darren Kimura and Sher Komoda for being such gracious hosts.

The Bytemarks lunch is attended by a complement of local tech geeks. Notices for monthly lunch go out on the Bytemarks Yahoogroup I setup ages ago as well as on the Bytemarks page on Facebook. if you are interested please feel free to signup. Attendees share their latest tech find.  At this month’s lunch, Paul Lawler brought is newly minted GigaPan camera mount and Ryan Ozawa shared Yelp’s augmented reality iPhone app. and Traci Toguchi talked about a video she did of this local tech geek for Chris.Pirillo.com.
