I have been totally spoiled. I won't be at Podcamp until afternoon on Friday. Speaking at <a href="http://ocet.wcc.hawaii.edu/techtalk/" title="Windward Community Tech Fair" rel="nofollow">Windward Community Tech Fair Workshops and Exhibits</a> at Windward Community College in the morning. I hate that I will miss even a smidge - including your program in the morning. ARGH. We'll meet up on Saturday. I give my talk on Woopra then. BE THERE! :D @ Shane Robinson:

I do have to bug out around Noon to pick up a friend arriving at the airport for PodCamp. It's funny, Rox and I just realized tonight that none of our friends from the Mainland arriving at the airport have made arrangements for us to pick them up...? Then we realized it seems to be a Hawaii thing. Whenever we are leaving for a trip we have several friends that insist on taking and picking us up at the airport. Thinking back to when I lived on the Mainland, we didn't really do that. Just another small example of "Live Aloha." I’ll see, and finally get to meet you IRL there.

This is just going to be so much fun. Are you going to be at the <a href="http://www.socialmediaworkshop.com/2008/09/14/social-media-club-workshop-hawaii-october-23-2008/" title="Social Media Club Workshop" rel="nofollow">Social Media Club Workshop</a> on Thursday? It's a day-long business seminar that is going to rock Hawaii businesses with leading social media experts from Hawaii and the mainland. It's going to be too much fun! I can’t wait.

That's the great thing about WordCamp, we can talk about whatever those in attendance want to talk about. If the audience is familiar with WordPress.com and WordPress.org already, we can talk about WPMU and use the <a href="http://2008.podcamphawaii.com" rel="nofollow">PodCamp Hawaii</a> site to demo since it's MU. Also, while setting up WordPress is a couple minute thing, for those that don't yet blog (and there are a LOT of them here on the islands) seeing how easy it is to write a Post and a Page and seeing the power of Themes and Plugins is actually a very exciting experience. @Lorelle VanFossen:

I hope you didn't change that! I had a lot of people ask me about WordPressMU and I told them to check out your presentation. Setting up WordPress is a couple minute thing - BORING. :D Try for Saturday to do WordPressMU as it is much needed. @ Shane Robinson:

Tremendous amount of quality events happening on our little island this week. I do have an update: After noticing we didn't have a Basic WordPress session, I switched my "WordPress MU" session to "<a href="http://2008.podcamphawaii.com/2008/10/10/wordcamp-speaker-shane-robinson/" rel="nofollow">How to setup your WordPress blog</a>." We felt it was more important to show those attendees that haven't yet worked with WordPress how easy it is, rather than jump so far forward with an exploration of WPMU. If there is interest, I'll be happy to pick up a WPMU session on Saturday! Much Mahalo for the great coverage, Lorelle! Tremendous amount of quality events happening on our little island this week.
