Had a nice day at the beach today following days and days of stormy weather here after a ‘Kona low‘ hit the state. Check out some photos of the damage. Felt kind of like the phantom hurricane we were supposed to have in back in August. Blizzards on Mauna Kea and Mauna [...]

My surfboard is woven of millions of tiny threads of wisdom, cemented by the love with which I am gratefully surrounded. Without it I could not withstand the endless pounding of the waves – ultra-strangeness in the world, as well as in my own life. My toes grab hold, the wax which is [...]

After our experience here in Hawaii last month and A Kean Eye‘s noted follow-ups on the “hurriquake” phenomenon, just paying closer attention to this synchronous news.
On Friday, Lorenzo blew the roofs off 2000 houses and drove tens of thousands of people from their homes in Mexico, killing [...]

I’ve been wrapped up in my own world lately; most of us bloggers have other lives with our own share of dilemmas, and yet, sometimes we get news that shatters our little routines and drowns us in perspective. Out of respect for privacy I won’t go any further, but please make a point of [...]

A Kean Eye points out that yet again, a fierce hurricane is coupled with a big earthquake. It seems he was also right about the “lights in the sky” – note this most recent hurriquake phenomenon, as so aptly coined by Mr. Matthams during the last round, was also in fact accompanied by not [...]

I’m not the only one here in Hawaii who found it strange that during the ‘hurricane’, satellite radar showed cloud cover when I looked outside and saw sunny skies. It has been the topic of conversation in town and I’m pretty convinced there was something going on there (HAARP, anyone?). Apparently Hurricane [...]

So Flossie was a bust (strangely not even a drop of rain or one harsh breeze where I live)…today I found out some other people here on the Big Island saw that strange meteoric flash in the sky (they think it was military flares), and even caught it on video, I’ll try and get it [...]

Sitting out on my porch tonight, enjoying the lovely sunset over the ocean and waiting for Hurricane Flossie, I saw a freakishly close meteorite (at least I think that’s what it was since I’ve not seen anything like that before) go down into the water, probably about 10 miles out, if that. [...]

Back on the island; I notice there’s been more activity at Kilauea volcano since I left.
The Yes Men caught my attention for their unusual, clever and successful antics. For one, they impersonated Halliburton at a global warming conference, introducing the “SurvivaBall” as a new way to survive catastrophe. People [...]

My regular readers will notice I switched WordPress themes. The consensus around the house today was that Darkwater is easier on the eyes; plus I think the background fits in with Surfing the Tao quite nicely. Any opinions, comments or issues, please let me know.
Great audio clip of Bill Hicks on the Elite who govern [...]
