Hawai’i Geek Week Begins with Mactoberfest

Earlier this year I attended a WordPress Bootcamp that was hosted by the Hawai’i Macintosh & Apple Users Society (HMAUS). I had such a good time with the attendees and felt very comfortable with the teaching of Eugene Villaluz that I became a member. Yes, it didn’t matter that I wasn’t an actual Mac user.

This month HMAUS and the Professional Photographers of Hawai’i presents its annual Mactoberfest on Saturday, October 18, 2008 at 8:30 a.m. at the University of Hawai’i Art Building. I’m excited about being on campus, it’s been over a decade since I tagged the stairwell of the art building with my childhood friend Jan. I would like to introduce the tradition to my children.

I am honored and humbled to be a part of the afternoon Panel Discussion and amongst the talent of Bytemarks Cafe‘s Burt Lum and Ryan Ozawa, Bob Lew and the Queen of WordPress Lorelle VanFossen. I’ll be sharing my whirlwind experience and how technology, social and new media changed my life, as well as being the Chief Evangelist for Alltop and my new company, Pono Media.

The event, sponsored by Pacific New Media will also feature exhibits, fix it clinics, door prizes and more! The event is FREE and for better planning, registration is requested. Let me know if you’ll be there, I’d be happy to meet you.
