UH journalism professor Gerald Kato recently dug up this old video that SHOPO, the Honolulu police officers’ union, made in 1995 during the fight over the Uniform Information Practices Act (UIPA), or HRS 92F, which defined public records and codified the public’s right to access them in Hawaii. They argued that releasing police misconduct records [...]

Video: Mochi Making in Makiki
January 5th, 2013 by Ryan Ozawa · 1 Comment · Food, Video
One of my favorite New Year’s traditions is mochitsuki, or mochi making, which is a Japanese tradition that’s common in Hawaii. Last Saturday, the Jodo Mission of Hawaii in Makiki (where I serve on the Board of Directors) held its annual mochitsuki, or mochi making event, which puts out hundreds of pounds of mochi that’s [...]

Fun With Time-Lapse Videos
August 28th, 2012 by Ryan Ozawa · No Comments · Video
Last weekend’s bon dance at the Jodo Mission of Hawaii in Makiki, where I serve on the board, afforded an excellent opportunity to create a time-lapse video of the event. I used only my iPhone, the free version of the “iMotion HD” app [iTunes], and iMovie. And I was helped greatly by having access to [...]

Hacks/Hackers Hawaii
July 13th, 2012 by Ryan Ozawa · No Comments · Media, Technology, The Web, Video
When my friend and fellow geek Burt Lum suggested we start a local chapter of Hacks/Hackers, I was initially skeptical. Frankly, both of us have an unhealthy tendency to jump into the latest cool tool or group, and we’d just had a Sunlight Foundation meetup. But when I finally looked into it, I was immediately [...]

And among the many clips making up the montage, we see him attempting a fire dance in Kihei on Maui.

This past weekend’s opening college football game between the UH Manoa Warriors and the Colorado University Buffaloes was broadcast live on ESPN. And during one of the commercial breaks, both universities got some airtime to show off their stuff. For UH, the theme of the day was “Lifestyle.”

Square Promotes Painless Payments
May 23rd, 2011 by Ryan Ozawa · 3 Comments · Gadgets, Technology, Video
Square is a startup that hopes to do nothing less than transform the way people pay for goods and services. The company was started by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey (who recently returned to Twitter while continuing to lead Square), someone obviously no stranger to disruptive technologies. A tiny, cheap card reader, coupled with a smartphone, [...]

Video: Eisa Drum Festival
May 16th, 2011 by Ryan Ozawa · 1 Comment · Events, Music, Video
The first ever (and hopefully annual) Eisa Drum Festival took place on Saturday on the Great Lawn of Kapiolani Community College. It was a great event, and lead organizer Shari Tamashiro — along with advisors Norman Kaneshiro and Derek Ichiro Shiroma, and countless other volunteers and performers — deserves a standing ovation for pulling it all [...]

UFOs Over Oahu? Sorry, No.
April 14th, 2011 by Ryan Ozawa · 3 Comments · Technology, The Web, Video
A video is making the rounds on YouTube, Facebook, message boards and blogs, said to depict five unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, hovering over the Makua military reservation on the island of Oahu. It spread like wildfire through online communities focused on everything from aliens to government conspiracies, then started catching the notice of people [...]

Video: ‘Epic’ Manapua
April 12th, 2011 by Ryan Ozawa · 5 Comments · Food, Video
It’s not the world’s largest manapua, but it sure looks like it could be. A group of local media makers documented the construction of a massive, 13,300-calorie manapua in a video titled,“Epic Kaukau Time: Manpua Man Manapua.” (Rated PG-13, per Cynthia Hoskins, so click with care.) The “Epic Kaukau Time” title reveals the video to [...]
