I Asked Google's AI Who It Was. It Lied.

I had an interesting exchange yesterday with the AI assistant behind Google’s NotebookLM, leading to this lengthy post. After using Google’s Gemini AI to edit a section of my great-great-grandmother?s memoirs, which I shared here Thursday, I decided another experiment. Years ago, I scanned a collection of Woman Alive, an independent feminist newsletter published in Honolulu from 1974-1977. Meda had saved 32 issues, beginning with the May 1975 is…Read Article

Eleanor Knowlton’s Memoir: Facing down a frontier con man

[Note: This picks up the narrative of Eleanor Brittain Knowlton again after nearly five months. The reason is simple. Not having read the memoir before, I belatedly discovered that while my sister had transcribed the manuscript from photos of the original handwritten text, she had only made it part way through editing it. And when I reached the end of her edits, it became to unwieldy for me to proceed. But this appears to be an excellent use of …Read Article

Maybe we're 'out of place in our own neighborhood'

My parents bought a small 3-bedroom home along Kealaolu Avenue in Kahala at the beginning of 1942, when it was located on the boundary between the city and the country. 'When we gave directions of where we were, we used to say that we were on the last street within the city limits because many businesses didn't deliver past here,' my mother, Helen Yonge Lind, said in an oral history interview in 2000. They stayed in the house for the rest of the…Hawaii · HawaiiRead Article

A surprise encounter on my early morning walk

On my way back from watching the sunrise from the beach near our house this morning, I walked back along the road that leads to the Kahala Hotel. After passing the Kahala Beach Apartments next door, you reach the beginning of the Waialae Country Club parking lot. There I saw what appeared to be five or six white fairy terns, in Hawaii known as Manu-o-Ku, fluttering around the tree, landing briefly on a branch, then flying off again. Then I reali…Honolulu · HonoluluRead Article

Questions during Senate hearing deftly sidestepped PUC whistleblower's allegations

On Tuesday, a post here described a whistleblower complaint targeting the Public Utilities Commission’s Chair, Leo Asuncion, and Chief of Policy and Research, Randy Baldemor (“Whistleblower Complaint Targets Top Officials at the Public Utilities Commission”). The complaint came to light in a packet of background materials submitted for a State Senate Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection hearing held that morning, chaired by Sen. Jarrett…Whistleblower · KailuaRead Article

Let’s Not Confuse Lobbying With Influence-Peddling

The headline of Civil Beat's Sunshine Blog this week told one story: 'Influence Peddling By The Numbers'. But the numbers actually reported were newly released statistics about lobbying — a very different story, in my view. The two topics are intimately related, but they are not the same, and it seems to me that the failure to distinguish 'influence peddling' from 'lobbying' is a mistake, creating confusion for those who care about how our democ…Honolulu · HonoluluRead Article

An early summer rainbow

A correction and a comment

First, a correction. The Office of the Attorney General issued a news release on Tuesday, June 24, regarding the case of former Honolulu attorney Robert E. Chapman, featured in a post here on Saturday. The estimated $750,000 is about half the value of my original estimate. To arrive at my original estimate that the case involved a theft of about $1.5 million, I simply went through each of the counts and totaled the value of each transaction that…Honolulu · HonoluluRead Article
