Brian commented on Daniel Leuck's blog post 'The Great 2009-2010 Hawaii Brain Drain'

@Shiva, Many of the better DoD-related positions don't even make it to the job sites you'd peruse. Anecdotally, I'd say the entry and mid-level positions tend to be disproportionately represented in terms of ads. @Dan, the lack of "hacker meetups"…

Oracle: The Worst Thing to Happen to Java

Like many, I've long maintained that Oracle is the worst possible steward for the Java platform. Their corporate philosophy is fundamentally incompatible with the environment of openness and community engagement at Sun that gave rise to Java. When Sun was on the rocks, we all prayed that IBM or Google would pick up the Ja… Continue

Engineering and Risk Assessment Failures at BP, Transocean and Halliburton

Its been 12 days since the explosion, and leaks are still poisoning the gulf with 200,000* gallons of oil per day. BPʻs attempts to utilize a containment dome have failed due to the formation of ice-like crystals that blocked the flow into the pipeline and made the container buoyant. Now they are talking about shooting garbage into the blowout preventer. BPʻs CEO keeps whining about how hard it is to utilize containment te… Continue

Sure re: Inspect Element post.

Just saw Neenz's Google Buzz update about the Tech Hui Conference. I would like to attend. Will check out the information you have on this site.

I blocked him but it is even better that you have taken care of it at the root level.
Thank you.

My photo doesn't look so lonely in the attendance box now :) Actually have about 27 attendees coming so far. Thanks for letting us get the word out on TechHui. If you don't mind, I think I will create an SBIR group as we had chatted about earlier...just need a catchy group name. Mahalo.

Mahalo for the message. I'll have to do that. As for my work at Perfect Search. It has been very interesting. I've got some ideas as to how to take the technology back to Hawai'i, or in some places where it may have some play, but am wanting to wala'au with some folks to get a better feel for the tech space in Hawai'i now, and where there might be the biggest need and most innovative players.
