Podcamp Hawaii Day 1

Morning came quick. Perhaps too quick. Nevertheless, rising this particular Friday morning, October 24, was not the laborious chore that I would normally struggle through. It was the first day of Podcamp Hawaii. As I munched on my Frosted Flakes cereal, I ran my checklist of needed gear and made sure I got one of my Podcamp Hawaii shirts out. I worked out my plan of attack to tackle traffic and ended up leaving at about 7:30.

While it wasn’t a smooth ride, I got to the Hawaii Convention Center at a reasonable time. Parking was easy to find and was given directions to the location of the event. After a very quick check in, I spotted Dave Zuls and met his co-worker Kathi. I also met Nathan Kam, Chris Heuer and Kristi Wells. Then it was off to the opening ceremony and start Podcamp Hawaii!

Ten-ten

I don’t have anything really big to write about today, but just figured since it is October 10, I’d be silly and mention something off the wall.

Ten-ten is a modifier in Japanese, altering the pronuciation of basic hiragana and looks something like one pair of shortened quotation marks. It affects the characters in such a way that, for example, the “ka” character with the ten-ten will then become “ga.” The link at the beginning of this paragraph gives more examples, as well as introduces other modifiers.

That’s it! Nothing else to see here. :)
