Kaho'olawe

Here's a slideshow of pictures taken by me and a couple of the other volunteers from our trip to the island of Kaho'olawe 3-6 October 2011.



Kaho'olawe

This video features images group of students from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa on a service project volunteering with the Kaho'olawe Island Reserve Commission.

Kaho'olawe is the smallest of the Hawaiian islands. It was used as a training ground and bombing range by the US Armed Forces from WWII to 1990. Today KIRC manages the Reserve while it is held in trust for a future Native Hawaiian Sovereignty entity. It can be used only for native Hawaiian cultural, spiritual, and subsistence purposes. There is strict protocol when entering and leaving the island. The restoration plan includes removing ammunition, controlling erosion, re-establishing vegetation, recharging the water table, and gradually replacing alien plants with native species.

DJ Training on KTUH FM, Part 3

Last night I did my third training session at KTUH from 12-3 AM. I did my hour on the show from 12-1 AM because I was afraid I'd be nonfunctional if I waited until later. I had two exams during the day and had been up since about 7 AM. I tried to take a nap after I got home from school, but I couldn't fall asleep. All I could do was think about math (I had dreams about math the night before). Needless to say, I was exhausted when I finally got home and went to sleep at 3:33 AM this morning!

*†Pimpbot - Meet You At the Bar - self-titled - Passout Records
*Fucked Up - A Little Death - David Comes to Life - Matador
*We Were Promised Jetpacks - Medicine - In the Pit of the Stomach - Fat Cat

‡ I was going to play this, but I ran out of time. :(

Recommendation:
One of the other guys, Nash,  played a band that was pretty good: Tame Impala. They're from Australia. Check them out!
