Notes on Life, ‘Puters and Hawaii
Kids amaze me. Here’s a video of Dmitri Gaskin giving a Google Tech Talk on JQuery. Good job Dmitri! You remind me of myself when I was 12 except, when I was a kid, 6502 assembly language and Commodore’s where the in thing for kids and not web-programming.
The only problem I have [...]

I went camping at Anini beach this last weekend. Got a sun-burn. Played frisbee until I was beat. Read some books. It was great. I had not camped at Anini in 13 years. It has to be one of the top 10 camp sites in the world. Being [...]

I am sitting here writing code on my laptop and listening to Sonic Youth. I have been on a SU marathon since yesterday. There is something unique about Sonic Youth for me. I don’t listen to them all the time, but when I do it really moves my soul. It sounds [...]

We had high winds that actually shook the house last night. Trees in our neighborhood fell over and I found a half dozen roof shingles in my lawn this morning. I guess the winds were about 60 mph at times (hurricanes start at 74 mph) and Kauai had a 24-hour total of 3.23 [...]

Just wanted to acknowledge my father as he turns 60 today. I really admire you and all of your accomplishments. You have always taken the time to talk with me and be a mad-scientist-mentor to me. My first gunpowder-bombs, tool-boxes, fishing-poles, camping-gear, snow-sleds, mini-bikes, tree-forts, computers and other fun stuffs came from [...]

We took the night ferry over from Ireland to the north of France. From there we hopped on a train to Paris. Paris was fun and we spent three days there looking at the sites. Again, I had to work part time so I didn’t get to see as much as others. [...]

I’ve now spent a week in Kerry and Cork, Ireland. “Nil Gaeilge maith agam” (I don’t speak Irish so well). Ireland was not as fun as I thought it would be.  ( Pints of Cider and Guiness aside ) Seeing ancient rock formations was fun. You really get [...]

I finally made it to Germany after about 20 hours of travel. I am staying in Koblenz for two days before going to Berlin. I had terrible jet lag because we lost about half a day of sun-light in transit. When we landed in Frankfurt, we caught the Euro-rail to Koblenz about [...]

I’m bummed out about the new Hawaii Superferry. Superferry, in case you haven’t heard, is Hawaii’s first inter-island ferry system for cars and pedestrians. Great!, you might say. But wait. It was approved without any environmental impact studies. Why is this important? Lets think about this for a [...]
