Aloha!

I'm Kevin Roddy, an Associate Professor and Information Literacy Librarian at Kapi'olani Community College in Honolulu, on the Island of O'ahu. This site was originally created to keep folks up-to-date with my linguistic fieldwork on the Island of Yap in Micronesia. I graduated last summer, so the site has now morphed into a multi-faceted blog.

View Article  Honolulu rallys for Marriage Equality
A nice turnout of Honolulu's concerned citizens for marriage equality this morning:



Hawaii is where the fight for marriage equality began.

View Article  Obama is from Hawaii, Obama is from Chicago?
More silliness - claims from both Hawaii and Chicago that Obama is "ours."

Well, now that he won the Presidency, he belongs to the nation and the world.

Still, I suspect there are very few Illinois residents that are good at this:



Sandy's Beach where he surfed is NOTORIOUS  for more broken bones and neck injuries than any other beach in Hawaii. You have to know what you're doing to surf here well.

And you can't learn it in a weekend's visit. Meaning simply to acquire the form he has in the above picture takes lots of practice.

Yes, the President surfs! Not on one of those fiberglass boards neither.

He surfs the old-fashioned way, just like the Hawaiians did and still do.

With the body alone.

Go Obama!
