The event featured stars Daniel Dae Kim, who gets to stay in Hawaii following his six-year turn on “LOST,” and Grace Park, a reboot veteran from “Battlestar Galactica.” Also on hand were [...]

Hawaii Hosting Pokemon World Championships
July 27th, 2010 · No Comments · Events, Hawaii, Pop Culture
I’m still recovering from Comic-Con (and I’ve already preregistered for 2011), but one of the millions of geeky sights burned in my brain from the massive expo floor is the persistent popularity of Pokémon. The video game, the cartoon, the trading cards… the whole Japanese brand turned global phenomenon. There were more than a few [...]

In a few hours, my wife and I will be taking a red-eye flight from Honolulu through San Francisco to San Diego, where we’ll be attending our third Comic-Con. Dubbed “the geek prom” by some, this massive event draws well over 120,000 people each year. We weren’t planning on being one of them. Previously, “LOST” [...]

Phineas and Ferb Go Hawaiian
July 8th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Family, Hawaii, Pop Culture, Television
Much as I’d like to think of myself as a sophisticated connoisseur of art and culture, I consume my fair share of pop pablum. And as a dad to three kids, I also know more than I want to know about kids cartoons. A few shows have been outright banned from our living room TiVo, [...]

The series finale of “LOST” is less than a week away, and the Food Network is visiting “The Island” just in time. In the Wednesday installment of “Dinner: Impossible,” celebrity chef Robert Irvine finds himself stranded on Papailoa Beach — the very stretch of sand the survivors of Oceanic 815 called home for the past [...]

“LOST” on the Lawn [Updated]
January 13th, 2010 · 12 Comments · Hawaii, Lost, Pop Culture, Television
SPOILER ALERT: While additional shooting takes place this morning at the Ilikai Marina, continuing the big stunt scene from yesterday, local blogger GeeWhy of Pulpconnection broke the news of a concurrent “LOST” location shoot on Twitter and with a blog post. The scene, fortunately, is considerably more low key than yesterday’s. In fact, it’s downright ceremonial.
