I put this together in about an hour. I actually thought I might win the pitch competition, but not this time. I’m on the fence about whether to pursue it. The timing is a bit off. I’m bummed that I didn’t win the prize money to pursue building it. Maybe next time.

Notes from Nowhere – on Creatokia. The Art, the Story, and Audio Book
For the past six months, I’ve been working with my collaborators Carsten Lambrecht of Creatokia and Honolulu based digital artist Femmebot to bring my book Notes from Nowhere to life.

On our last day in Iceland, we decided to spend more time exploring the streets and museums of Reykjavik. The museums were a little expensive and for the most part, fairly standard fare. At this point in history, I feel like most museums are better visited online without the crowds or the expensive entrance fees….

Where My Vanagon Goes – A Hawaii NFT Collection with Utility, Style, and Beauty
I just realized I neglected to write about launching my NFT Collection “Where My Vanagon Goes“. It’s an homage to a couple of things I really love – VW Vans (see my book covers dating back to 2003 if you doubt this), Hawaii (see my home since 2001), and NFTs – I mean, NFTs just…
