Get On Board!

Since moving to Hawaii two years ago, I've been eager to try new adventures. I braved wading through rocky streams on hiking trails, dabbling in hula, climbing through volcanic caves, and jumping off steep cliffs. But, much to my dismay, I failed at surfing. More »

Are U Texting?

A few years back I wrote about text messaging on the computer using instant messaging services on your computer like AIM (AOL Instant Messenger). In 2005, the teenagers were going like gang busters with IM'ing (Instant Messaging) via their computers and giving up voice communicating via the landline telephone or cell phones. Fast forward to 2009 and what has changed? More »

Tadd Fujikawa Wins the Maui Kahili Open

Rated 5.0 Stars

The weather was perfect for the 2009 Kahili Maui Open the first weekend in June. It was hot but at least the tradewinds were blowing to 25 mph. The field was excellent, considering the cost of traveling these days. The professional and top amateur players all showed the folks at the Kamehameha Golf Club and the Kalihi course how much they appreciate the effort it takes to put on a quality event. More »

BJ Penn On Family, Fighting Florian, and the Future

Rated 5.0 Stars

B.J. Penn. Say it but once and it commands respect. Unless you've been living under a rock for the last decade or so, the name B.J. Penn is one you're probably very familiar with. It's the same name that is revered in Mixed-Martial Arts circles and synonymous with that word "respect". Best of all, bruddah is ours; a son of the aina, born and raised in our backyard of Hawaii.

Bustin' Down the Door

In the 1960's and early 1970's, life on the North Shore of Oahu was a crude, minimal, and bohemian existence for both resident and visiting surfers. Poverty, drugs, sponging, odd jobs, meditation, hitchhiking, transiency, and lots and lots of water time were the call for the plucky few who sacrificed creature comforts in exchange for close proximity to the world's greatest waves.

What's Really Happening in the Oahu Real Estate Market July '09

Rated 3.6 Stars

My overall take for Hawaii Real Estate has not changed. Due to increased taxes by our State and City & County of Honolulu in their mindless and uncaring manner toward their constituents, coupled with the National Obama Mantra of more Government in our lives is better... along with absolutely ridiculous new Federal Real Estate related regulation and reckless Government spending... we have NOT seen the worst.
