In 2005 someone added me to Wikipedia In the four years that the listing was online it was updated by fans and other followers.

Sadly some Wikipedia Nazi removed it from the Index. I suppose I became un-famous  on a realistic note it totally jacks up the Google Search Index because they redirected my listing to some other person with the same name minus the “e” on the end of the name.

While it does not bother me that much it was kinda cool while it lasted.

This coming Friday I will be a guest on the Andy Bumatai Show here in Honolulu. The program is aired at 9:35pm on KFVE or better known as K5.

Andy has been gracious enough to offer up my video segment after the show, so I will be able to syndicate it out for my Ohana on the podcast feed. The subject for the show is New Media and I look forward to spending some time on with a couple of other Hawaii New Media folks.

What is interesting is that one of the guest that will be on comes from Mountain Apple Company, one of Hawaii’s biggest music and entertainment companies. Sadly Mountain Apple has yet to allow podcasters who revolutionized new media, to promote their artist music (they should) it is interesting that the have a New Media Director. While I understand they are promoting via social media I will be curious to see what they are actually creating in the new media space.

Another guest will be my good friend Ryan Ozawa who has the twitter name #hawaii. Ryan is a long time podcaster here in Hawaii. Ryan is most famous for his Lost podcast called “The Transmission.

Should be a fun show. I have appeared in the past on Fox Business and a number of other TV shows. One thing about TV you only have a single shot at it so you have to be on your A game.

I have had a dilemma over the past few days. I am getting ready to do a whirlwind tour of Japan. Where I will stay from night to night may be a challenge and I absolutely had to have Internet access 24×7

I know that Japan has significant wireless offerings but I did not want to get hammered for several thousand dollars just for a couple of weeks of coverage with pre-paid phones which are readily available but no cheap when it comes to data plans.

So I reached out on Twitter and did some Google searches. While I did not find the site through a direct search I did find a site from a company based here in Honolulu that you can rent phones and wireless cards from.

They deliver the phone and wireless card to me a few days before I get to Japan. My local cell phone is forwarded to the new number while I am gone and business is as usual.

Having a hacked iPhone did not allow me to simply change sims or add a international plan and I really did not want to have to spend a couple of hours finding coverage once I got there.

While I will pay around $300.00 for three weeks the grantee of having unlimited bandwidth on a fat pipe and a cell phone that has a local Japanese number to do business on is well worth the price.

This is not the perfect solution for someone that travels to Asia a lot but it is a solution for the periodic traveler. The Hawaii company I went with is www.jcrcorp.com check them out!

I will give you all a review when I get back.. Of course you can keep up with me while I live stream from Japan.
