Adventures in Social Media at Women in Media of Baton Rouge
Shannon Hurst Lane9 Feb 2012 | 4:04 amThe above quote says it all, because I didn’t get here alone. Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking to Women in Media in the Baton Rouge area.

Hawaii lawmakers may criminalize pet owners who give away their kittens or puppies -- Commentary
5 Feb 2012 | 11:36 amCute kittens, courtesy photo by Adriano If pets are outlawed, only outlaws will have pets. This take on a bill now up on the Hawaii Legislature is admittedly extreme, but not that far off the mark considering SB2504 makes it a misdemeanor to sell or give away your dogs, cats, puppies or kittens without first having them spayed or neutered and microchips implanted in them. Big Brother has arrived, at least for your pets. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Clayton Hee, D-Kahuku, La'ie, Ka'a'awa, Kane'ohe, is up for consideration at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 7, by the Senate Commerce and Consumer Protection…

The Autos Rule Super Bowl
1 Feb 2012 | 4:06 pmMy inbox has been bombarded by a slew of automotive commercials set to air during the Super Bowl this year. I have to admit, I’ve enjoyed watching them.

So when I heard about the award-winning SKINDINAVIA Moisture Lock Makeup Finish I figured I give it a try.

Hawaii Innovation Alliance Launched
9 Feb 2012 | 1:18 amOn the national front, we had the Stop Online Privacy Act (SOPA), beaten back by a massive groundswell of opposition from major internet firms and grassroots geeks alike. Here in Hawaii, a proposed law that would have required internet service providers to track and save user data for two years was shelved after a similar uproar from the tech community. At the same time lawmakers at both the federal and local level are pushing for stronger regulation of the internet, it looks like the internet is finding its voice and fighting back. At the Hawaii State Capitol, more than 30 bills have been… -
‘The River’ Shares Scares, Hawaii Ties
7 Feb 2012 | 12:42 amTuesday night brings the premiere of “The River” on ABC. Created by Oren Peli, the man behind the “Paranormal Activity” film franchise, the show is described as a “paranormal adventure horror” series. The modest production came to the islands with a modest, eight-episode first-season order, following in the much larger footsteps of ABC’s previous filmed-in-Hawaii hit show “LOST.” This show is set in the uncharted backwaters of the Amazon, rather than a mysterious Pacific island, but to be sure, the parallels to “LOST” are many. -
New Apps Unveiled at the City’s First Hackathon
24 Jan 2012 | 11:39 pmA total of six teams participated in Honolulu’s first civic hackathon this past weekend, each developing anapplication that takes advantage of public data made available online by the city. The top three teams won cash prizes provided by the hackathon’s sponsors, and two of them focused on TheBus and its web services API (or application programming interface). I was able to drop in to watch most of the final presentations on Sunday afternoon, which were the culmination of at least 24 hours of rapid design, development, and deployment. Each team had to show off a working… -
Gov. Abercrombie on Open Data
24 Jan 2012 | 10:56 amGov. Neil Abercrombie yesterday delivered his second “State of the State” address before the Legislature. And technology was one of the priorities he singled out as key to the state’s long-term future. He mentioned the Hawaii Broadband Initiative, consolidation of disparate state systems under the Office of Information Management and Technology, and major renewable energy and smart grid projects (including an undersea inter-island power transmission cable). He even proposed a “one-to-one laptop program” to provide laptop computers for every public school student. -

Today’s prompt was in a roll or rolled up and I seriously considered going to the bakery for some rolls but the weather was terrible so we stayed in most of the day. We did, however, venture out for dinner. This is one of our favorite restaurants despite a few items that I don’t care for here. The food is excellent and the service is usually pretty good. Two things I don’t like? 1. when we walk up to the host/hostess they ALWAYS ask us, are you visiting? No. we live here. in fact we come here about once a month and have been coming here for years. Are you… -

5 Feb 2012 | 4:46 pmHello Friends! Happy Super Bowl Sunday. Here in Hawaii where we are hours behind the rest of the country, I grew up with Super Bowl being a post lunch party. We got up and went to church this morning, I even wore a dress and heels today. Typical post church lunch at CPK. Home with plenty of time to get settled in before the game. The boys are all in the living room right now and I occasionally hear eruptions of hyena like laughter down the hallway. I have lots of projects to get busy on and I’m trying not to procrasti-surf, but it’s a hard habit to break. i think this…

30 Sep 2011 | 12:27 pmMcDonald's Hawaii held a tweetup to kick off the start of their annual Monopoly contest by having a Monopoly tournament. Because this year there is a 1 in 4 chance of winning something the tournament was run the same way. There were tables of four setup with a board on each table. The person on the table with the most assets at the end of an hour won a $25 Arch card. The deck was kind of stacked in "The Sumidas" favor considering there was only @mel808 and the boys sitting on their table. But that didn't stop it from being competitive.

Up in the Air
24 Jan 2012 | 12:16 pmSaturday morning, late morning, my friend Michael Carnrike sent me a text saying if I wanted to fly in an airplane I better meet him at the airport in an hour. It snowed the night before, so before we could go up the runway had to be plowed. While the plane gets filled we look at the plane and take it in. Soon, we will be thousands of feet in the air. The plane rumbles to life, shooting adrenaline into my body. The miracle of flight. It’s good to live when we do. We made some incredible maneuvers and pulled enough g’s that it was difficult for me to shoot at times, a roller… -

Tammy and Jordan
28 Oct 2011 | 8:00 pmI had the wonderful opportunity to photograph Tammy and Jordan in Austin, TX a couple of months ago. I left for Austin two weeks after my road trip back from California where I had shot Sarah Michael’s wedding. I really loved this couple, they made me feel more welcome then ever before and I put this wedding up there as the best one. Not because it was the most expensive or had the best venue, but because the people were so genuine and honest and it really showed in with the photos. I tried to widdle down the images but I just see the expression and the moment in all of them. …

Can Social Media Save Hawaii’s Beaches and Land?
24 Jan 2012 | 12:02 amSaving Hawaii’s beaches and open space is a widely shared commitment – not just among those of us who live here but even more so perhaps for the millions of visitors to Hawaii! Everyone is invited, as even those of you who may never visit have likely experienced calm and inspiration from looking a Maui sunset or listening to the rhythm of the waves while watching an episode of Beachwalks.tv. I am part of the social media team that is helping raise funds for the Hawaiian Islands Land Trust (HILT) on January 28, 2012 and their annual fundraiser. We are putting social media to a… -

How to Contribute to an Open Playlist on Spotify

Yes, of course you are invited! But about the Spotify Playlist: Great idea! I thought. But it is easier said than done. So here is a quick cheat sheet. Of course, you will require a Spotify account before you can add any songs to the playlist. Visit Spotify and set up your account. Then navigate to Tara’s playlist.

Thank You Steve
5 Oct 2011 | 9:08 pmFirst, mahalo to Apple for giving us such a stunning home page in honor of Steve’s passing from this world. I am bursting with feelings tonight as I write this post. Which could go in so many directions. What I take from him and the way he lived his life is the feverish attachment to being who he was. He was a perfectionist, and not afraid of it. He was odd, and not afraid of it. He was brilliant, and not afraid if it. He was emotional, even tyrannical, and not afraid of it. Many will suggest that more companies should be perfectionistic, or cultivate oddness, or confuse brilliance with…

Throw Away the Maps
6 Feb 2012 | 1:30 amPeople judge us by the path they’ve seen us walk before. They can’t anticipate our future steps. We, ourselves, look to how things have been, what seems to be the lay of the land, without realizing that the maps are not the territory. Want to succeed at work? Then don’t try to do your job. Instead, work towards something larger, more meaningful, and something that blends your convictions internally with your best ability to help others externally. Want to create something new? Then throw away the old, or maybe join two disparate old things together into something new. The… -
The Next Social Networks
5 Feb 2012 | 1:30 amThe rage in social networks right now is Pinterest, partly because it’s probably the first social network that has a much higher adoption rate by females than males, and partly because it’s an interesting concept: somewhere between visual social bookmarking and scrapbooking. What also might not be immediately obvious is that it’s just “easier” to interact there. In that way, Pinterest has something in common with Instagram, which is community around photos. What I’m interested in, though, is Gentlemint, which I keep calling “Pinterest for… -

U.S. Wants You to Test Terrorist Tracking With Social Media Game [VIDEO]

The U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Embassy in Prague are sponsoring a social media gaming contest to test ways social media and open source data can be used to track terrorists and locate missing children. The FBI announced last month it plans to develop an app to monitor public social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter, and this game shows the government is still looking for ways to expand its social media tracking abilities.

Hacking Your Router to Control Your Kids
13 Jan 2012 | 3:50 pmA version of this ran in my Family Tech column in Family Circle some time ago. Cowry shells were once a common currency worldwide.

it finally happened…
25 Jan 2012 | 1:04 pmi feared it from the moment i found out we were having a daughter… i wondered if i would ever have to deal with it when she looked like this: but as she got older and her hair got longer, the day would come that i would have to braid her hair. “a braid? what’s the big deal?” so many have said, but i have no idea how to braid hair. and i’m the only person in the world who, despite years of practice, can’t tie an effective fisherman’s knot (an absolute sin in my family). i’ve lost more lures than any one can count, and i’ve blamed the fish… -

someone went to see santa…
9 Dec 2011 | 4:55 amshe was pretty excited this year. then santa asked madeline what she wanted him to bring to her… you can see maddy’s enthusiasm as she tells santa, “i want a baby dragon and a slingshot.” santa laughed (and looked more than a little surprised). the photographer looked at me and said, “that’s pretty cool. i hear ipad or video games from most kids.” the slingshot is wrapped (it’s one that fires soft foam balls ’cause i’m not ready to dodge rocks or any other hard projectiles) and now i just need to find a baby dragon…
