What’s Next?

The last HawaiiUP podcast was posted on June 16, 2007, but I never stopped making media. HawaiiUp fell by the wayside when The Transmission took off, and my wife Jen and I had a wild ride while “LOST” was on the air. If you’d like to catch up with me now, here are a few places (as of June 2011) where you can find me.

  • Popspotting: A pop-culture podcast hosted by my wife and I that covers movies, television, music, books, and any other topic that strikes our fancy, plus interviews and trivia contests.
  • Bytemarks Cafe: A weekly radio show on Hawaii Public Radio (KIPO 89.3FM Honolulu) that I co-host with fellow geek Burt Lum, since August 2008.
  • YouTube: I’m more comfortable working with audio (I have a “face for radio”), but I’m trying to do more with video. Check out my channel for scenes from my island life. I generally post the same videos to Vimeo and Blip.TV (where you can download them if you like).
  • Flickr: I’m not a photographer, but I’m an obsessive picture taker, and here is where I post most of the images (most taken with the camera on my cell phone).

I’m also a little too active on a few too many social networks, but especially Twitter and Facebook. I hope to reconnect with you soon!

We’re Good!

We certainly had an… interesting day, with early-morning earthquakes and an island-wide blackout. Fortunately for us, and most of Hawaii, there were no fatalities or serious casualties. Lots of property damage, mostly on the Big Island, and folks will be cleaning up for a while. But for the most part, it’s just one of those crazy things that will fuel small talk for weeks to come. We were offline, but wandering about town, and I was posting some photos from my smartphone, if you’re curious. Mahalo a nui loa for all the kind e-mails and messages.
