I think the problem with Hawaii companies looking for employees that are jack of all trades, is that there aren't many companies that are large enough to have the kind of specialization that you experienced at Microsoft.
If a business has 10 techni…
I actually haven't seen much emphasis on UX in Hawai'i. It seems like people are more interested in getting a product out of the door and hoping that the UI will be good enough. I can't say that I blame them - when your budget is limited, the priori…
Giving clearwire a try as we are in a temporary housing situation till our house closes in a month. So far its fine for email and most of the sites I surf but for iTunes specifically its been rough. We tried to rent a movie on iTunes and the trailer…
I just connected my Clearwire modem and Airport Wi-Fi and the speeds are awesome! Where I was located speeds were horrid and I suspect it might be one of the neighbors running a bunch of servers, serving "what" I don't really want to know. With rega…

Hey Shaun, my advice to you is to also sit tight in Seattle till the economy gets better OR if you can afford the luxury, I'd suggest a year long test drive of living here. That's what we did after leaving Seattle in Summer of 07. My wife and I were…
A group for Java developers on the islands.
I love the idea of a "living font" where it changes depending on its context. A font like this might be interesting in a social network context in that the sender and user "do not" see the same font, and argubly the same message. Digital media is so…

The FAQ is a good place to learn about the site. You may want to join some of the interest groups such as Digital Artists and Renewable Energy.
We hope you find TechHui useful and invite others. See you in the groups and forums!
