“Da kine go stay go!”

Carmen and Scott regret to announce that as of this show, the MacHelp from Maui podcast will no longer be heard.

That’s right, we’ve finally given in to the ennui of the islands - this is just too much like work!

Not really - but Apple doesn’t need us anymore - they’re doing […]

Should you get a new Mac now or wait until the heat death of the universe?
Why are some many people waiting for Leopard? So what if you don’t have the newest Mac on the block. So what if your friends all think you’re a raw newbie? We attempt to peer past the noise of the […]

Live from Charley’s in Paia - Pekelo!
Get your headphones ready! After we slosh about in the rumor pool, you’ll hear a special binaural recording of Pekelo live at Maui’s best local bar. Almost like being there.
(picture of “Roy” the binaural head and Pekelo pretending this is normal)

Worth100 has made my day with a new contest that asks entrants to imagine and then Photoshop (a new verb!) an un announced iApple iProduct [White].
Too bad that about half of the entries are versions of “iToilet” demonstrating a staggering lack of imagination, but the “iFibrillator” and “iDate” make up for tha, though I […]

The Maui Apple Users Society showed up at Macworld in time to see the iPhone born as well as to share in all the other excitement of the big event.

We’re back with rumors and hopes about MacWorld and a few new year tips.
Wonderful music from Raiatea Helm’s CD Sweet & Lovely

We’re taking it easy at the end of the year.
The good news is that I had the little Roland Edirol recorder with me this morning when we went to Grandma’s to meet a few friends over caffeine and scones.
Joe Cano and his pals were playing for the bike and brew crowd and they were […]

On this week’s podcast Carmen got all farm and wuzzy about Jake Shimabukuro, Hawaii’s young ukulele master. I looked him up on YouTube, and found this video of him playing George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”
Then I crawled back into my chair, it was apparent that she is justified in her worship - […]

An Earth shattering podcast this week as Carmen stays home and we talk about 6.6 quakes in Maui. There’s some mention of Macs - most particularly what to do when the floors move. And then there’s the “swollen” MacBook battery story.
This show was recorded over iChat because it was raining so hard Carmen couldn’t get […]

“Ku’upau means to give it everything you have, the pidgin equivalent would be “geev ‘um” or “go for broke”.
In the context of this song, it’s a call for all people of Hawai‘i,
Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian alike to support Hawaiian sovereignty, and to
give it all you have until it is achieved.
It seems there was another question for […]

It was just an iPod event
Well, maybe not ‘just’, but Steve’s standup this morning was about movies, iPods and iTunes which are all very cool, and which all support the bottom line. It’s been a while since Apple did anything for the iPod and the webs was starting to get a little testy […]
