Recently, Fernando Pizarro asked me about how I started my blog. I really wanted to know more about the science behind the art, and since I live & work in Ala Moana/Kakaako, this was the perfect opportunity to try it out.  I had no idea that it would become the monster it is today, with strangers badgering me for my trip photos and neighbors demanding I blog more often. (Take a chill pill, Clayton!)

Kidding aside, it has been a fun project. And now, I can have fun and gloat as I am awarded a space alongside some of the most fabulous people on the web: Alltop.com.

According to their site, You can think of an Alltop site as a “digital magazine rack” of the Internet. We help you explore your passions by collecting stories from “all the top” sites on the web. We’ve grouped these collections — “aggregations” — into individual Alltop sites based on topics such as environment, photography, science, Muslim, celebrity gossip, military, fashion, gaming, sports, politics, automobiles, and Macintosh. At each Alltop site, we display the headlines of the latest stories from dozens of sites and blogs.

There is a Hawaii section—and look!—I’m next to Blaine Fergerstrom, the web guru who mentored me on technology when I was at ProComm/Starr Seigle.

In celebration, I’m going to wear not one, but TWO badges of honor. Chee hoo!
