The 'best-connected journalist' in Puna.
-- Hawaii Island Journal 

The owner

I was a reporter for close to 17 years at the Hawaii Tribune-Herald until October 2005, when I joined the growing ranks of union leaders now formerly employed by the newspaper. (For more about what's happening at the Tribune-Herald, check out the Hawaii Newspaper Guild web site.) Since then I've been the Hilo unit representative for the Guild, a freelance writer, photographer, and blogger.  Puna has been my family's home since 1993.

California's med marijuana biz booms

Interesting New York Times technology section story today (not sure why it's under "technology) on the growing medical marijuana business in California, now "a full-fledged industry ... taking in about $2 billion a year and generating $100 million in state sales taxes."

Some unsuspecting traveler was either horrified or elated with what they found in their luggage, depending on their perspective.
