Last week, Joe’s friend David visited us from Fairchild AFB in Spokane. We took him all around the island, and had a really great time. We had a church activity (hence the turkey hugging pic), North Shore, Waimea Bay, Haleiwa Thai, Artis music, Waimea Valley, Hawaii Geeks Picnic, Highway Inn, Koolina, and tons o’ fun adventures, that barely scratched the surface. Hopefully he’ll come back soon, so we can do more fun stuff! Miss you, David!
Sunday, close to 100 techies, photogs, and other geeks met at Ala Moana’s Magic Island for the first annual Hawaii Geeks Picnic. We had a total blast, and were able to meet some of the families of our friends…
My favorite song in high school. I still fill this way sometimes…

Web strategist Jeremiah Owyang came to Hawaii for a bit of a vacation, and met with some of the COOLEST people on the island! We met for some authentic Hawaiian food at Highway Inn. The food was delicious, and we had a BLAST!
Here’s who was there (and their Twitter accounts, thanks to Ryan for compiling them):
This is a really great website that helps WONDERFULLY with children. Several people have used it with their children, and they say it’s really great.

Ahhhhh … The joys of having Girls ….
My mother taught me to read when I was four years old (her first
mistake).
One day, I was in the bathroom and noticed one of the cabinet doors
was ajar.
I read the box in the cabinet. I then asked my mother why she was
keeping “‘napkins” in the bathroom. Didn’t they belong in the
kitchen? Not wanting to burden me with unnecessary facts, she told me
that those were for “special occasions” (her second mistake).
Now fast forward a few months…..It’s Thanksgiving Day, and my folks
are leaving to pick up my uncle and his wife for dinner. Mom had
assignments for all of us while they were gone. Mine was to set the
table.
When they returned, my uncle came in first and immediately burst into
laughter. Next came his wife who gasped, then began giggling. Next
came my father, who roared with laughter. Then came Mom, who almost
died of embarrassment when she saw each place setting on the table
with a “special occasion” Kotex napkin at each plate, with the fork
carefully arranged on top. I had even tucked the little tail in so
they didn’t hang off the edge!!
My mother asked me why I used these and, of course, my response sent
the other adults into further fits of laughter. “But, Mom, you said
they were for special occasions!!!”
