Hawaii as Social Gaming Mecca?
A constant topic of conversation in the Hawaii tech community is - what tech niches would work in Hawaii or, even better, be really well suited to the islands. One that seems to be a natural is social gaming. Why? A couple of reasons. First, our affinity with Japan (and close ties with the culture) give us a huge leg up on the gaming future. Anyone who knows the history of RPGs in Japan knows that Farmville (and most other Zynga titles) came from Japanese RPGs (or flavors of them) that…

EMR Penetration Could Give Hawaii a Key Healthcare Advantage
Hawaii is already among the national leaders in lots of health care metrics. Cost of care and expenditures on health care in the islands, on a per capita basis adjusted to a regional COLA scale, is incredibly low - much lower than other areas of the country with comparable costs of living and economic conditions. But a new study came out yesterday that hints at the benefits of widespread use of Electronic Medical Records. Stanford scientists did some data mining and spotted something really… Continue

Barry Weinman said… - We could consider it but it is outside our normal sponsorships. We have a HiBEAM Boards meeting this comming Wednesday. How much are we talking about? HiBEAM is non-political so we avoid stuff like Act 221 which some Board members like and some ( like me) find abhorent. Send me an email at Barry.m.weinman@gmail.com with the partcilars ( pitch) including cost and topics and I will bring it up Wednesday.
