Wow! You mentioned me again! Keep it up and we’ll make people talk — about our blogs, I hope!

And without Claiborne Pell, I never would have finished college. I was 31 years old when I entered and had all the requisite bills of a person that age, yet the college forbid me to work while student teaching! I took on a roommate, a student loan and a Pell Grant. R.I.P., Senator, you earned it.

That was fast! Yes, let’s cross-pollinate our blog promotion. And mahalo for showing that many of us were touched by Sen. Pell’s efforts to make college education accessible to all.

Hey! Where’s your Monday post? You’re late!

And bring your polotical thinking on over to my place and figure out the Punny Monday for those poor folk.

I hope you aren’t sick and I am being insensitive ….

Huh? My post was up at 7:45. Let me know if you still don’t see it.

And, I submitted my guess. My first time. I actually think I might be on the right track. Normally, I am completely stumped.

Don’t worry. If our friends and family can’t harass us, who can?

Time For a (go! Away) Party January 5, 2010

It’s funny sometimes how fate (or inspiration) just surprises you sometimes. Just this morning, I found myself up way too early. Then I noted that I renewed the registration for capsun.org for another year. I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t had time to blog as often as I’d like. But then my friend Blaine [...]

GOOD-bye 2009! December 31, 2009

On this the last day of 2009, I find myself reflecting on the year that was, as I’m sure many of you have. Travel, work, and other commitments have really kept me busy, so I haven’t had time to write up end-of-year wrap-up posts like I did in 2008 (like this, or this, and this). As [...]

Answers for A Christmas Game December 24, 2009

Mahalo to all of you for stopping by and playing my Christmas Game for 2009. In case you still need some of the answers, they are listed here below. So, how did everyone do? Maybe more importantly, how long did it take? We usually give about 30 minutes for people to play the game, but [...]

A Christmas Game December 18, 2009

UPDATE (Monday, 12/21): All but one of the answers is in English and the answer to #1 is “Oh Holy Night.” Enjoy the rest of the game and come back Thursday for all the answers. For the past few years, my wife and I have played this Christmas game with family, friends, and even her students. [...]

A Glee-Gowalla Mash-Up December 8, 2009

Sometimes, I think I get a little too serious, especially here on capsun.org, although I do tend to allow myself to be a little more casual on my photo blog. But today will be a “for fun” post, and it’s dedicated to Melissa Chang (aka @Melissa808) who has waited over two weeks for me to [...]

Another One Bites the Dust December 4, 2009

Yesterday, I received an email from Josh Levinson, President and CEO of Community Links Hawaii. We’ve gotten to know each other over the past year through our involvement in the Tables for Ten program spearheaded by Na Lei Aloha Foundation, the sponsors of the Bridge of Friendship and the annual Memorial Day lantern floating ceremony. [...]

Good News for Hawaiian Airlines Passengers December 1, 2009

This is my make-up post to Hawaiian Airlines, for not blogging about their 80th birthday, which they celebrated on November 11. Belated Happy Birthday! For those who fly between the islands and who choose not to support that bad airline I despise so much, I have some good news from my favorite airline, Hawaiian Airlines. Remember [...]

A Lifetime of Thanks November 25, 2009

I’ve been thinking long and hard about an appropriate post in honor of Thanksgiving. Then last week I joined my wife for an alumni reception for her college, Loyola Marymount University in LA. It’s called the “Princeton of the Pacific” and one of their biggest donors has been William Hannon, as evidenced by several buildings [...]

On the Passing of Regent Emeritus Wayne Panoke November 16, 2009

As you know, my big claim to fame is having served on the University of Hawaii Board of Regents, as the third student regent. The very first student regent, under the law that specifically provided for a student member, was Wayne Kahoonei Panoke. Most people call him Kahoonei, but I have always called him Wayne [...]

Is it a “Contest” if Only One Person Enters? November 12, 2009

Last week, I wrote a post on a contest to give away Google Wave invites. At the time, I thought these were highly coveted, or at least more desirable than most invites of this sort. As you can tell from the title of this post, I only received one entry, so maybe these aren’t as [...]
