    E komo mai Mark. Welcome to TechHui and to Hawaii!

    re: Your question about others interested in robotics and getting their kids involved

    Yes - Ken Berkun has similar interests. He did a robotics workshop for kids at Burt Lum's Unconferenz. Burt is currently looking for input on sessions for the next Unconferenz, so you may want to suggest another robotics session.

    We also have a robotics interest group with 32 members and an even larger artificial intelligence group. Some of your coworkers are members.
