Beach Walk 743 – Raw or Rendered?

First things first: Lexi is back!
Programming is a funny thing. What you see at the end is not how things are at the beginning. There is that “processing” that takes place in the middle. Even if you “view source” of a web page and see the HTML code, there is a good chance that at least some of that started off very differently. If you just copy what you see on the surface, you will miss some of the underlying functional magic! Of course reverse engineering can be fun too – and very informative.

Beach Walk 733 – Numbers Have Energy

April 15, 2009 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , |

Our car is 6.5 yrs old but has only 40,000 miles (eh – living on an island!) I have way more miles in my frequent flier accounts than the odometer of the Ford Escape.

Statistics can prove anything. Old Thinking: That’s bad! New Thinking: Use math to my advantage, to help me feel better, so I become untethered to what is holding me back.

Not to lie or manipulate per se, but to use .5 as half full, OR half empty. Both are true. Which interpretation feels better for me for now?

I personally value emptiness as much as fullness – it all depends on the situation.

Hawaiian word:
Helu: number, counting

Beach Walk 618 – Whatevah u Think Part 2

As promised in yesterday’s episode where I interviewed the musician, WuT, here is him singing a song for us, plus some more bonus interview at the end.

At the end of it all, we realized it is not possible to squeeze the richness of a person into a few minutes.

Shane did an awesome job on these two episodes – three cameras and first class editing to bring you a first class talent. Find more artists from Hawaii at Doctor Trey’s Recording Studio.

Beach Walk 617 – What U Think

It has been a while since we have connected with the local music scene.

As the rains continued, we got a chance to visit Dr. Trey’s recording studio and meet a new, WuT. I think you will find his story interesting (some things similar and some different compared to other up and coming artists). Today’s episode is an interview. We’ll have his music on the next episode. For now, I nominate WuT as one as the kindest, gentlest hip hop/rap artists around.
