First Friday. You know the Deal.

Some special events are happening though. Mainly the "official" launch of Alex and Corey's site that you've heard me mention here and there. It's called "DoSomethingTonight" and it's pretty good. Most times the faces behind anything web or technology driven are NOT like this:


I don't know how they get anything done with it since they're always out partying but whatever man. It's the best resource that I've seen and totally unbiased. If you do any events and you haven't sent them the info go ahead and do that. Come by their launch party tonight too. They're really nice guys. They probably won't be sober tho. Just saying.


Later you can see the first ever MC battle at O Lounge at FLOW. Or see the portrait thing at Thirtyninehotel that I mentioned earlier this week. Or just stay at Next Door and check out Doc Martin. That's always a nice crowd.


Enjoy!

Wanna Listen?

My taste in music rules. I mean, if you're in to cheesy top 40 slightly alternative, heavily nostalgic sort of stuff. I usually get turned on to what I'm listening to by friends but if there's something I love it stays in the mix. Like, forever.
Anyway, Carlos turned me on to seeqpod and I'm hooked. I save a list for every day and it's actually possible to share it with you. Now listen! No making fun. You love what you love and I love what I love. I'm banking that you'll love what I love tho. Nothing too crazy underground for a Monday. Some good stuff tho, and hopefully stuff you recognize for the most part.

HERE is the playlist. You can totally listen to it online. No downloading. Just play it man. It will coast you through the rest of your Monday for reals. Feel free to randomize it. LISTEN tho.

Then poll:

Everyone is talking about ....

...it.
...and there's a reason why. Quadmag has been around longer than any nightlife website in hawaii. back before any social network there were these things called fourms. threads man. that's hella old school.



but if you're reading this then you know how far we've come as far as interacting with each other in our underwear via spaces where you can portray yourself as whoever you want to be.

[ten with ted. uber talent face off. by lacycam.]

so ya as far as hawaii is concerned, ten is a pioneer... and he's celebrating hardcore this saturday. it's the 10th anniversary of quadmag.com.


It's a fundraiser so budget out some of your hookers and support the guy who's brought Honolulu's nightlife community together for a decade. It's only $10 man. Paula Fuga is performing. Jamal is hosting. It's going to be epic.

iPhone what??

...there was certainly hype about these. So I must go ahead and share my phone story. It's not really a story so much as a lesson. A life lesson.

BUT! Before I do I must tell you that my good friend and fellow lurkogropher across the pond Shad Lambert totally got an iphone. his take on the whole ordeal is my favorite on the interweb. It's the only blog entry worth reading. Woo.

So ya, remember the spots for those RZR phones waaaaay back before you ever saw one in person? Like, the commercial when the entire room folds into the palm of this lady's hand with super cool edgy music? Ya. I saw that... and I HAD to have that damn phone. Of course it wasn't going to be launched in the US until the end of the year so I ordered one from Europe for only about $150 extra. Totaling the phone out to be slightly more than what an iphone is retailing for today. Nice. Well I got the phone and was pretty hyped on it for the two months it was in my possession before getting stolen in the VIP room at the Pro Bowl party when me and Lloyd were both acting a fool dancing on the couches. Nevermind the money. That phone wasn't even AVAILABLE in the US yet. I quickly replaced it with an ebay version and went immediately to work making it my own at that bead store in Kaimuki with Olena.


If I was going to spend so much money and effort to have a one of a kind super hot not released yet phone I might was well put in the time to have a custom phone dangle no? Too bad THAT only lasted about two weeks too. Stupid semi-pocket capri pant fashion statements. If anyone who works at the Living Room wants to roger up that they found it ... I know it was like 2005 or something.. but I'll take it! That thing was cool.

FIVE phones later... I'm using the cheapo default phone from [hate my carrier so much I don't even want to give them a mention here]. The lesson here? Material possesions can suck it.

I'm going back to postcards.
Everyone send me your address.

ps: BEER OLYMPICS photos are up.

Sharing Photos are we?

Well. I'm not one to be super in to slide-show type stuff but I see that a lot of you are. Well. If you live in Hawaii there is ABSOLUTELY no reason why you should be using anything other than Kindfish. Why? Cause they local sistah! We need to support anyone who makes in impact in the technology world over here. Serious.

The site is still developing some supersecretstealthbutawesome tools, but for now you can totally make an account and upload photos with a really easy java uploader then HEY! a slideshow channel! What's cool about it is that anyone can contribute to your channel and you can even add more from your cell phone. The interface is simple but let me know if you need help. Here's one I made for the SMART Shoe Diva event.

View Full Screen     View Photos on Kindfish

So that's my love for now. Kindfish.

Learning! I learned a few things.

SO!
i'm totally excited in geek-land right now because i just figured out how to search just one site on Google. it was to find this picture:

i was looking for mako on my website so i put "mako site:supercw.com" in the search window and it pulled up everything from my site that has that. i'm SURE someone out there was wondering how to do that.

Last night was pretty ridiculous, by the way. If "ridiculous" means "BEST time ever". The pics are slowly making their way to the world of cyberspace so i'll let you know when. Actually, it appears that Chris's take is way better than what i can whip up so enjoy that for now.

Tonight is the last night of the Honolulu International Film festival AND the Zion i/The Grouch show at ND. I might go.

This was uploaded to the new YouTube for documents called "Scribd". It's about to blow up. Get in there.

SO what. Wanna start a software or Internet company?

Fear Not! Now there's not one, not two, but THREE venture capital firms that are offering the opportunity to people that might otherwise be clueless.
It started with YCombinator but has now been expanded [copied?] to TechStars and even YEurope. Early stage specialists with the idea that providing more support (housing, consultants, pocket cash, introductions to investors) than liquid might actually be the way to get a company on its feet. Think about your idea. Then think some more. Then apply. That's right... apply. There's no business plan slash pitch meeting it's straight question and answer... If you have a great product or idea the passion will be there and you could very well be on your way to one of three "startup camps" to get to work.

MY idea? Oh, I totally want to produce a documentary and follow a company through the entire process. You already know I have an affection for Justin.tv who is funded by YCombinator, but check out some of their other young ducklings that are being nursed to health in SF, Colorado and Vienna. I bet you can do it too.
