Welcome to Conference 2.0

  • We've all been there: the dull business conference. A half-empty room of half-asleep attendees answer their e-mail on laptops and BlackBerries, while some hapless speaker lumbers through a PowerPoint speech. That scenario is about to change, thanks to the growing ubiquity of social media. - hawaii on 2008-03-12

DailyWritingTip.com

  • Mitchell Dwyer, Honolulu high school English teacher, hopes to help the world (and its wide web) to improve the quality of its writing, one simple step at a time. - hawaii on 2008-02-25

When Movies Don’t Live Up to the Trailer

  • On the way home, what we discussed wasn’t the plot or the shaky grasp of history. It was all the good stuff we’d seen in the trailers (the ads) that weren’t even *in* the movie. - hawaii on 2008-01-03

Mourning TV

  • Change always provokes fear, but I’d once believed that the death of our beloved television would unify all those affected, talent and studios, creators and suits. We’re all afraid and we’d all be afraid together. Instead we find ourselves so deeply divided. - hawaii on 2007-11-13

Beethoven Goes Digital

  • Classical music hardly seems like a growth business. We're forever reading about how concert audiences are graying, and new artists must flounce around fiddling in tank tops and platform heels to get attention. In fact, classical music is doing a lot better than you might think. Although total sales in all music categories fell 5 percent last year, classical sales grew by a whopping 22 percent. - hawaii on 2007-09-25

Getting a lesson in retail inside world's busiest Costco

  • The Iwilei Costco - the largest among the company's three Oahu locations - posted $300 million in sales last year. Iwilei is so busy, in fact, that it turns its entire inventory every two-and-a-half to three weeks... a logistical wonder considering most everything comes in by water. - hawaii on 2007-09-05

Downside to Xobni, Meebo and Squidoo

  • Even if you could say Abazab or Eefoof without snickering, would you want to do business with them? Would you feel OK owning Wakoopa shares in your 401(k)? Telling potential in-laws you met on Frengo? Relying on Ooma to call Grandma? - hawaii on 2007-09-04

'Drive' makes primetime Emmy history

  • Fox's quickly canceled drama "Drive" has inadvertently made TV academy history on Thursday, becoming the first-ever Primetime Emmy broadband nominee.

    Twenty years from now, when Emmy only recognizes programming found on the Internet, historians will point to the mostly forgotten "Drive" as the show that started it all.

My Time as a Hostage, and I'm a Business Reporter

  • Detention in a toy factory says something about the new power of the Chinese marketplace. "Factory bosses, I would discover, can overrule the police, and Chinese government officials are not as powerful as you might suspect in a country addicted to foreign investment." - hawaii on 2007-06-25

A Long Line for a Shorter Wait at the Supermarket

  • Because people stand in the same line, waiting for a register to become available, there are no “slow” lines, delayed by a coupon-counting customer or languid cashier. - hawaii on 2007-06-25

Microsoft pays star writers to recite slogan

  • Valleywag, the feisty Silicon Valley gossip blog, uncovers a coordinated but undisclosed Microsoft campaign that got prominent bloggers like Om Malik and Mike Arrington to recite their "People Ready" catchphrase. Is this the "A-List" version of PayPerPost? - hawaii on 2007-06-22

Justin.TV's Hawaii Channel

  • This week, with no apparent fanfare, the Justin.TV network added another radio station to the lifecasting family: Star101.9, right here in Honolulu. - hawaii on 2007-06-22

Best of the Web: the MetaFilter Podcast

I love MetaFilter (and Ask MetaFilter), and I love that I can now get it in my ears. This is the podcast feed for your podcatcher. There's also a podcast page (http://podcast.metafilter.com) at MeFi but it's curiously lacking a prominent RSS link.

A Craigslist Wedding

  • At that point, Amanda said “I just wish that there was someone here to blog all this,” completely unaware of the background of the accordion player at her wedding. - hawaii on 2007-06-21

'Lost' won't end 'with a blackout'

  • "I'm not sure there is any ending that will satisfy everyone," Cuse said. "Our hope is that the ending will be ... the logical conclusion of the story." - hawaii on 2007-06-14

A Rat With a Whisk and a Dream

  • The idea was to create food so authentic that people would leave the theater with an urge to cook and eat. But it turns out that computer-generated food can look much scarier than a computer-generated bug or car. - hawaii on 2007-06-14

Slimebuckets, pollution and web conservation Calacanis-style

  • Think about the level of absurdity our industry has come to. Today, we build websites, not for humans, but to make them appeal to machines... You only have to search for a product, or a health condition, or your next vacation to discover that SEOs are ruining the web. - hawaii on 2007-06-13

Growing Up In Public

  • What do you do when you realize how public your online life is? You could retreat into anonymity and try to ensure you leave no trace online (but increasingly there's something odd about a person who seems to leave no Google trace). Or you could say "So what?" and accept that every aspect of your online life is out there for people to find and judge as they will. - hawaii on 2007-06-08
