About Me:
Native New Yorker that moved out to Honolulu in August 06. For my day job, I consult at a DoD research institute on Asian politics (apcss.org) located in Waikiki regarding some of their online initiatives.
Nights and weekends I help out on yabla.com - a site for language learning through online video - that I started back in New York with some colleagues who work on it full-time while I'm out here.
Past experience is primarily in the field of international relations. I've served as an election observer in Indonesia, East Timor, and Ethiopia and worked on financial sector modernization in developing countries.
No Ultimate, sigh. Truth be told, I'm not even very good at throwing an Aerobie, I just really like it :)
When I was about to graduate from college, I was sitting in my dorm room feeling totally clueless about what comes next when I saw my Aerobie propped against the wall. So I looked them up and emailed them begging for a job... and there I was for my first year out of college!
Hi Gabe,
Unfortunately, I'm no pro at GUI (just a novice programmer) and the CG imaging I've done aren't professional. Thanks for the invite though, I will keep it in mind :)

Hey Gabe, how's life in NY? ... I feel like I haven't been on TechHui in forever.

We used french.yabla to learn a bit of the language before going to Madagascar. Its a great app - easily the best language learning site I've seen. I also discovered a great new artist while watching the videos.

Hey Gabe and Truman,
Sorry to jump into the conversation but I couldn't help notice that you guys were talking about a Spanish website! lomastv.com looks really cool and it is a great way to practice your Spanish AND create awareness about the different accents that we have (I am a native Spanish speaker).
Thank you for the great find!
Cheers,
Damian

Hey Gabe, I just watched the demo video on lomastv.com. That girl IS spunky! I can see why people like her a lot and ask to see more videos by her. I like her, too.
I'm thinking to cancel the Jelly this week due to a lack of interest. Let me know if you want to meet up for lunch instead.
Awesome Gabe, like to hear that chi.mp is spreading...We will be in NY on the 15th-19th and doing a big event with path101 and nextNY ( http://shakeshack.nextny.org ) if you have any friends that want to come and hang out, please feel free to forward the invite.
