I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that Google is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street this week. A few days ago, Big Bird graced the famous search engine’s page. Next up was the Cookie Monster!! (Who doesn’t love cookies?). Today, I see Bert and Ernie smiling out at me. What’s up next? Will we see Elmo tomorrow? Personally, I vote for Grover. Grover was always my favorite.
My mouth hit the floor when I read the title of this thread earlier on Geeks. A drawback to being a Geek – what?! Are you kidding me? Being a Geek is the best possible thing to be. We have it all – brains, looks, girls… what more could we want? The looks, well, just because they are funny looks at times means nothing. It’s just part of the total package that makes us so amazingly perfect, right? And the girls – ahhh, the girls – we all know that Geek boys get all the girls, right? Wait, what? You have trouble finding a girlfriend? Well, perhaps if you showered more often, and stopped being so nervous around the fairer sex. Fine. The looks and the girls may be lacking. But we have the brains! And the brains get us the money! And the money gets us more Geeky gadgets! Who needs girls, anyway?

Phil talked to us about science communication online, and how the “new” (now teenaged, in more ways than one) media has affected it. Specifically how instant info – passed on Twitter – can actually make misinformation spread faster than good info, and how freaking hard it is to clean up once that happens.
My glass glows. It’s sex on the beach! Thanks to @tikisgrill and @mahalomichael.

My cousin, Dr. Adrian Lamberti, is writing a book about technology, and wants your help. She and her co-author are putting together a book about technological history. It will look at watershed moments in communications technology, beginning with the advent of email and the World Wide Web back in the 90s. Take a listen to the video and hear the list they’ve already come up with. Then, leave a comment on the corresponding post in my blog with your ideas. Who knows? You may contribute to the book!
Most business is conducted at play, so claims @MahaloMichael at @TikisGrill. They’re using social media in the tastiest way! They hosted my Gnomedex Hawaii Tweetup a few months ago. Lunch today was great (you must try the Poke Bowl if you have the chance).
Over on Geeks today, people have been talking about what they’d do if they suddenly won a million dollars. It’s funny to read the answers, and touching as well. Many people would donate to charities, which I would do more of myself if I won that kind of money. I’d also invest plenty of it, in order to retire at an early age!

Compared to our computers, our bodies are mind-bogglingly complex systems. There’s no “life extension pill” available today, and none is likely to arrive soon. Fortunately for us, we can use our technical skills to evaluate and implement today’s life extension techniques, some of which can be fun – at least from a geek perspective.
An amphibian, not native to the islands of Hawaii. He’s originally from Rubbersville, WY.
How beautiful is this? Wish you were here!
Decided to ride around Ohau with my new friend, the ReThink Bunny. We had tons of fun with other Twitter friends – including @alohayaling, @alohabruce, @elliottng, @mikeprasad, @rickyli99, @dodeja, and @kaiserkuo (a Chinese rock star)!
Looking at the Ko’olaus from a vantage point of the Pali. That’s the Like Like highway below.
This spot (where I’m standing, not where I’m pointing the camera’s lens) is where Kamehameha forced the Oahu opposition off the edge (Kaleleka’anae).
This is the guy responsible for the LOLcat craze.
This is where I’m staying for [re]Think Hawaii, courtesy of @AlohaBruce and his crew.
The room is spacious, the amenities are aplenty, and the bed gave me a very peaceful night’s rest.
