Welcome Leighton! I enjoyed our chat at MIC's service provider event. Your blog, which we just added to our blog roll on the front page, is always an excellent read. I particularly liked Should Hawaii Be A "Patent-Free Zone" For Renewable Energy Technologies?

The FAQ is a good place to learn about the site. You may want to join some of the interest groups such as Renewable Energy, Social Web Tech and Tech Entrepreneurs.

We hope you find TechHui useful and invite others. See you in the groups and forums!
