Riding the Iroquios Point to Pearl Harbor Grey Boat

All this week, I’m attending a computer class at Hickam AFB. Seeing as how I live in Iroquois Point, all the way at the end of Ewa Beach, this presents me with the possibility of getting stuck in traffic jams and “enjoying” the comfort of my car for at least an hour each way. Fortunately, courtesy of my military ID card, I have another option...  Read on...

Hawaii Blog 2.0

When I first launched my blog in July 2000 — truly an eon ago in Internet time — I did so almost reluctantly, apologetically, stepping into the breach of "the weblog fad" that was sweeping through the journaling community. Today, blogs have proven their worth and staying power. As, I'd like to think, have I. I've moved Hawaii Blog to a new site and to a new incarnation. While I know such moves are a hassle for readers and becoming an all-too-common occurrence in the reinvention-happy blogosphere, I dare say I've earned one "update your links!" announcement over the past seven years. Read on...

To Thine Own Self Be True

Back in elementary school I discovered that I loved the power of writing. A particular reader, I found it fascinating how I was able to transport myself into the plot of a fictional story or take on the emotional burden of a tragic news story or even salivate at the description of a tasty meal. I wanted this power, and I set my mind on harnessing it for my own. Read on...

Physics Geek

I'm sort of a physics geek - but not really a physicist and certainly not a scientist. I got into physics in college because of a love of nature. I wanted to learn how things worked at a basic level. Truthfully, I didn't even know what physics was. But my advisor said "you should try physics", and I said "uh, OK. What's physics?" He said "Don't worry, you'll love it." The rest, as they say, is history. Read on...

iPhone vs. Car

"Ever wonder what happens when your iPhone gets run over by a car?" That was the cringe-inducing question posed by friend and fellow iPhone owner Paul, both on Twitter and on the Bytemarks mailing list. Holding my breath, I read the rest of the story. Read on...
