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.

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 »

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 »

Vandalism to Public Sculpture

On a recent visit to see the portrait sculpture of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole in Waianae, I discovered that the bottom fishhook that rested on IZ's chest was missing, i.e. apparently stolen. Who would do such a thing? And who would evoke such negative mana against a man who gave so much of himself to the people of Hawaii? More »

Watching TV With Your PC and Xbox 360

Rated 4.5 Stars

Our family transformation is complete. We simply don't do live TV anymore. When I need to watch the news, a few clicks on my PC play the hot stories of the day in a window right behind my Outlook email. Whether we want to catch up on either The Dog Whisperer or Dog the Bounty Hunter in the living room, we turn on the Xbox 360 and in a few joystick moves we're watching Ceasar Milan training humans to live with dogs.

I've voiced my concerns about spyware before in this column, but lately I've grown even more worried. Why? For starters it's just as pervasive as spam but, because it's hard to detect, can be much more dangerous. Think of it as a potential cancer attacking the inner organs of your PC.
