Well! I just got back from one of the most fun afternoons I have spent in some time! Today was the first ever Honolulu Pocket PC Users Group meeting β and it looks like they are off to a great start! My afternoon began when I was picked up by Ryan Mock (PDA Street) in his totally FAB Celica! I have never experienced such an awesome home-theater experience, while in a car!!
Once at the Hawaiian State Capitol, I was greeted with a fragrant lei and a traditional Hawaiian greeting (cheek kisses) by Todd Ogasawara, an MS MVP. After being treated to some very tasty Korean take-out, we walked over to the Pocket PC merting location. There were quite a few people in attendence, even two represenatives from Compaq. We were given a presentation by one of the reps that showed Compaq's vision for the futureβ¦and it looks quite good for those of us with major sleeve investments.
After the meeting, Todd, along with several of his co-workers, gave Ryan and me an impromptu tour of the gorgeous state capitol. Todd even got a picture of me sitting in the governor's chair. If you have never had a chance to see the Hawaiian Capitol and you find yourself in Hawaii, you need to stop by and get the full tour. Never have I seen such a beautiful, symbolic, open-air building as I saw today β quite refresshing from the domed capitols I am used to. I was also told that Hawaii is the only state that actually had it's own royalty β and I saw the palace! :0)
If you are lucky enough to live here, or if you plan on traveling to Oahu during the correct times β make sure you attend one of the newest Pocket PC User's Groups meetingsβ¦you'll really enjoy yourself!!
