- About Me:
- Was first online in 1983 (no typo) with the pioneer dial up ascii social network (using Confer II) called The MetaNetwork out of Arlington, VA (it is still going--but using WebCaucus). Launched a BBS as part of my work as Director for Industrial Development for Queens County in NYC called The Economic Development Electronic Network (EDEN) in 1985. Moved from the Big Apple to the real EDEN/Hawaii :) in 1989. Taught first Internet class on Maui in 1990, launched a BBS at the Maui Research & Tech Center called HuiNet with 100 members in '92. Launched first website in 1994. For several years taught "Getting Wired for Business" and helped Maui's first ISP - Pacific Global Communications get started. Involved in TIGRNet in the late 90's, was streaming video of the Maui Enterprise Forum in 1999 (no audience then)--restarted last year. Started blog/podcast CoolProjectsMaui.com in Novermber 2005.
Leaving the Hawaii SBDC Network in September '09 to create Maui Venture Consulting and to upgrade CoolProjectsMaui.com incorporating both Web 2.0 and 3.0 elements.
Parents were diplomats, so I grew up overseas in Italy, Ethiopia, Barbados, Thailand and Malta. Received a B.A. from Yale University and and M.B.A. from New York University.
I have a music life - see http://myspace.com/igluau. Wrote my college senior essay on the interplay between art and technology as an American Studies major with a focus on music. Worked at WYBC FM learning how to work a razor with audio tape, studied sound engineering, interviewed top record producers for a radio documentary that was never completed. Still mess around with audio technology using Logic.
I also have a life partner who is a lawyer turned math teacher/church organist and a son graduating from UH as a Japanese major.

Developing A Local Stock Exchange
A group on Maui has been brainstorming and doing some research on creating a local stock exchange.
The original part of this is to create a more open match making entity using the SEC's intra-state exception to do direct public offerings. This would create a more open process and allow non-wealthy to also engage in making small investments, plus provide liquidity to those making early investments.
State Senator Roz Baker has introduced a resolution, SCR134 to create a study…
