Protection of Digital Assets: Ryan Ozawa
You’ve probably given a lot of thought about protecting your online access but what about your online assets? With technology allows us to redefine personal property, it’s shaping your everyday life, and what could happen after you’re gone. So who should have access to you online leavings, your emails, social media and other accounts? And what kinds of laws do we need to govern what happens to your digital estate? BytemarksCafé co-host Ryan Ozawa has been pondering those questions and joined us to tell us more.

Carlos Barbosa-Lima classical guitar UH Concert
Musicians devote their lives to building technique, but technique is not the goal, it is essential. Though, if the artist is to be able to freely interpret music, and make that connection between the music and his own thoughts and feelings. Guitarist Barbosa-Lima has been building his interpretive skills over a career that spans a lifetime, and has broadened the repertoire of the classical guitar in the process. He’s performing at UH-Manoa this weekend.

Gas Prices/Gas Economics: Michael Roberts
Gas prices in Hawaii may not rival the under 2 dollars a gallon Gas Buddy quotes for other states, but chances are you’re still paying a lot less for a fill up than even six months ago. Last June, Brent crude prices hovered around 112 dollars a barrel; this morning’s open was 48 and a half. And while it may be easy to get used to these lower prices for gas and energy, will current costs stay around long enough to give consumers continued extra cash? Michael Roberts is an associate professor in the Department of Economics and with the Sea Grant at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Kapu Gaison - Makahiki Challenge
We think of makahiki as a kind of Hawaiian olympics, and it’s of course, a tradition that goes back to pre-contact Hawai‘i. Like all traditions it has a way of changing with the times, and Kapu Gaison is quick to tell you that this Saturday’s Makahiki Challange is a very contemporary kind of celebration. It’s an obstacle mud run, with emphasis on the mud.
