I love discovering, promoting, and attending local startup and STEM events (and hackathons and geek meetups and...). I spent so much time tracking and sorting them, I decided I might as well build a site to share them. Check out HawaiiCal.com... and please help spread the word (and add your own events) if you like it! #hawaii #startups #stem #scitech #events #calendar #thatnewsitesmell https://www.hawaiical.com/events/list/
Welcome to our new members from India! Be sure to post an #introduction and possibly use the hashtag #india so you can find each other!
Anyone really into micro.blog? Many people I follow are really into it, but I'm not sure I understand the draw. #microblog
Helped my friend launch a brand new podcast focused on #education and #innovation, inspired by Ted Dintersmith's #MostLikelytoSucceed and #WhatSchoolCouldBe! Teachers and educators, check it out!

My latest drone video, this one over Ala Moana Beach Park in Honolulu. Squint and you'll see some Chinese dragon boat racing offshore! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7i0xXIfwKs #drones #dronephotography #dronevideo #honolulu #hawaii
It's always a good week if I can spend some time in Hilo. While attending the Hawaii Island REALTORS General Membership Meeting, I got to visit some iconic spots, like Rainbow Falls. #rainbowfalls #waterfall #hilo #easthawaii #hawaiiisland #bigisland #hawaii
My first drone video! With a Part 107 certificate and a borrowed UAV, I captured some aerial views of Sandy Beach Park in East Oahu: https://youtu.be/kOcrOSxgduc #drones #uav #hawaii
Hoping to make use of my amateur radio license again, I picked up an AnyTone AT-878UV radio. Ham radio has gotten a lot more complicated in the last five years. This handset has DMR, which is all the rage. Hope to figure out how to use it! #hamradio #amateurradio
@Gargron @dansup Fascinating. Thanks. Scrolled back to see the specific @mastodonusercount update. I saw some hubbub on Twitter, I'm gathering it's not gone smoothly for them. Pity. https://bitcoinhackers.org/@mastodonusercount/102383537675433031
Whoa. What happened on July 5 to make the @mastodonusercount register an additional million users in the #mastodon #fediverse? https://bitcoinhackers.org/@mastodonusercount/102396749689401626
@Gargron Any plans to allow more flexibility for moderated instances? I'd love to direct new users to a survey form rather than a single text box to explain their interest in joining. Allowing us to specify custom text or just an "application" URL would be fantastic!
