Kyle Nishioka – Civil Engineer and podcast junkie. I subscribe to 75 - 100 podcasts, but I do not have a podcast of my own. However, I blog for the Technorama podcast at chuckchat.com/technorama as well as my own sites kylenishioka.com and madmarvonline.com. Iʻm also a self taught sysadmin and CAD manager for my employer. (Thanks Kyle, we could not have done this without you!)
Here’s an interview I did with Kyle:
(mp3)
Angela Keen – New Media Newbie / Old Media Pro. I am a former news anchor and reporter (15 years) in Hawaiʻi. I left the news and found my new soul and passion are in new media. I blog, I write, I communicate and I love to empower others. I am beginning to blog: http://keenonhealth.wordpress.com You can find my voicework at: http://voice123.com/angelakeen I am also a social media-holic!
Susan Jaworowski – I am a professor at Kapiʻolani Community College and a doctoral student at U.H. Manoa in educational technology. I teach online and am always looking for new ways to connect my students and myself with technology relevant to our lives. At present, the social media tool I am exploring the most is Twitter.
Shawn Drost – I started writing code on a graphing calculator in intermediate school. I studied robotics and AI as an undergraduate before becoming interested in web programming and entrepreneurship in 2005. My projects since include an online marketplace for indigenous artisans, a social network to encourage partnerships between business, government, and academia, and most recently, a business creating and distributing video tours of real estate. (Thanks Shawn for setting our wiki up for us!)
Ed Morita – I am currently the Pastry Chef at Longhi’s restaurant located in Ala Moana Center. Prior to arriving at Longhi’s two years ago, I worked at the exclusive Bay Harbor Yacht Club in Northern Michigan, and the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia. A Long time computer addict, I first started lurking the internet as a means to fight boredom during long West Virginia winters. I am currently working on utilizing the internet and social media as a means to advance and refine my culinary skills. (Thanks Ed for taking on the BBQ post-podcamp!)

Thanks you volunteers, it was a great event!
Aloha,
A huge thank you to ALL the volunteers of PodCamp Hawaii 2008!
It is truly remarkable how fast and effectively the entire event was pulled off! I’ve only seen other PodCamps on line - and from what I can tell - PodCamp Hawaii 2008 surpassed them all in the mix of venue and activities!
Everyone I spoke with from PodCamp came away with knowledge and inspiration to enhance their own businesses and lives. You are all responsible for putting on a first class event!
It is clear that PodCamp Hawaii 2008 is a launch pad for the community of Hawaii to share, grow, and excel in our endeavors. I suspect because of PodCamp Hawaii 2008, Hawaii will be soon recognized as a world leader online in social media and community networking - spreading the Aloha Spirit of doing business around the world!
Thank you all again!
Mahalo,
Arleen
I just wanted to say thank you for all you did to keep PodCamp running smoothly.
It certainly would not have been a success with all of the wonderful aloha you shared in making things happen.
I salute you.
I toast you.
I thank you.
Mahalo,
Albert Grande
Big mahalo volunteers! Everything was fabulous. You were attentive to everyone’s questions and conerns and the bbq was icing on the cake.
A big THANK YOU for everything you did to make this a great event. This is the first conference I have ever ever been to where I didn’t slack off or nod off or skip out — you folks kept me riveted both days and i learned more than I thought possible in such a short time
Please, pat yourselves ont eh back, take a much needed break and then DO IT AGAIN! weeee!
