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.

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.
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.
Hey Gabe, check out this website to learn Chinese by video. They don't have the running captions on the bottom or glossary as Yabla has. But interesting resource!
hey....confusion huh? just go to greendrinks.org, then usa, then hawaii, then honolulu...or just click here. yes, of course it is open to the public AND always FREE. see you there.

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not involved with the Green Drinks event... Can you give me a link to this post?
Thanks.
