Pot Calling the Kettle Black?

Posted on January 3, 2009 by Damon

I hope this fades away soon… but once again I’m facing criticism for the pictures I took at the Post Office (see side). I recently read this comment on the Big Island Chronicle: …”Here is what the police chief says about the Christmas Eve incident involving the police officer and the blogger: The postmaster called [...]

Sports Illustrated on 13 Year Old UH “Recruit”

Posted on January 3, 2009 by Damon

Sports Illustrated ran an article today about the 13 year old UH Recruit I blogged about earlier.  I’m pretty sure this is what the NY Times article was based upon. …Koehler, a 6-foot-4, 280-pound eighth-grader from Kaneohe, Hawaii, was always too heavy to play Pop Warner football. But Koehler, the 13-year-old brother of Arizona freshman [...]

Nice shot Mr. Sekiya… like trade cameras? *update* By the way, from the map and [...]

WordPress Comments Cache Problems?

Posted on January 3, 2009 by Damon

I’ve asked wordpress why my comments don’t show up immediately after I’ve approved them. I’ve found the easiest way to make them show up in the mean time, is to run a “test” comment from my own blog, and then delete that right away and the “real comment” then appears. I’m not sure why it [...]

Big Island WeAkly Reader Question… “Can Bloggers Be Sued”

Posted on January 3, 2009 by Damon

Journalist or a Blogger?  There are big differences that I wish people would understand. If someone is going to blog and have it  published in a paper as a “NEWS” item, then that person would be considered more of a journalist and the paper could be accountable for the content of what is written. Big [...]

Is Big Island Weekly Also Switching to Online Format? Is it the Big Island “WEAKLY”?

Posted on January 3, 2009 by Damon

I’m checking out the Big Island Weekly online edition and something jumps out at me: The first two “News” items CAN’T  be found in full in the Print edition as they have online videos attached to them. The Win Hawaii House article… I even warned Tiffany ahead of time that it’s under investigation!  YET, the [...]

Why Do We See So Many Motorcycle Riders in Hawaii Without Helmets

Posted on January 3, 2009 by Damon

I understand that it’s not the law for motorcycle riders in Hawaii to wear a helmet, but I just think riders would due to the safety factors alone. I was reading the law on them and then realized these laws are more then 25 years old.  Is it time to revisit the helmet law in [...]
