@AlohaBruce is about to enjoy the fish sampler at @OriginalRoys.

My glass glows. It’s sex on the beach! Thanks to @tikisgrill and @mahalomichael.

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).

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 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.

From the “wish I had the money and time to take advantage of this” file. Expedia is offering great deals on Hawaiian Vacations: Roundtrip Air + 4 Nights from $583 (exp 10/15/09). It’s beautiful right now in Seattle, but in about a month the rain is going to start and then I’m going to be kicking myself for not booking another vacation to Hawaii…

Traci was kind enough to interview Burt for me after my trip to Hawaii. Burt is a tech enthusiast of the first degree. His website tagline is “The Intersection of Life, Culture and Technology”. This just goes to show you how big tech is in Hawaii!

Much to everyone’s dismay, I uploaded quite a few videos of my experience in Hawaii. I’m not going to apologize – we only typically talk tech! Even when I wasn’t talking about tech, I was using tech to talk about the things I was doing! Yes, this video is about Hawaii. I received a care package from Troy in Honolulu the other day, and wanted to do a video to honor the occasion.

Thanks to my connections in Hawaii, I was able to meet, interview, and watch Makana. If you’ve never heard of him before, I’m guessing this song will hook you for life.

I took this short clip while riding in a car during my recent trip to Hawaii. The day was a little overcast and even kind of foggy. However, it was still just absolutely beautiful there – both the scenery and the weather itself. Living in Seattle, I’m used to clouds and rain… and even prefer them to the sunshine!
