Edward Sugimoto
Edward Sugimoto is a long time web dude who comes from a journalistic family (father writes entertaining columns for the East-West Journal, mother was a radio personality in Japan, and sister is a reporter for KHNL News 8). His first stab into the web world started at the University of Hawaii with a notable site called Ed-Land. Before long, it became the #1 trafficked site on all of hawaii.edu's servers, causing the administration to implement a mandatory data transfer limit. (Sorry guys!) Ed took those web marketing and blatant self-promotion "skills"(?) to another level with the award winning World Wide Ed web site, following that up with a regular column in the school newspaper (Ka Leo O Hawaii), carrying the same WWE

name. All of this tireless web work actually paid off when the then Online Editor of Oceanic Time Warner Cable discovered his online resume and quickly hired him as the Assistant Online Editor. Today, he is the Online Editor and continues to be a self-proclaimed semi-webnerd, learning about and discovering new web trends and technologies in the industry. These days, Ed is moving towards the business and management aspects of the web and monetizing his efforts while creating value and a sense of community for Oceanic Time Warner Cable's customers. He is also a recent recipient of a Commendation from Governor Linda Lingle as well as the Mayor's Award of Recognition from Mayor Mufi Hanneman upon being named 2006 Top 50 High Tech Leader in the State of Hawaii.

This column will be an almost Blog-like adventure that will include babblings ranging from computer help, web site favorites, travelogues, and much, much more. Sit tight!
