Widgets

If you look to the right, you'll see a couple custom widgets I have added: the current Honolulu weather and two clocks that show the time change between EST and "Aloha" time, as they call it.

The weather is only applicable on my drive to and from work and lunch breaks. Hopefully, there will be other occasions that will present themselves for me to enjoy this weather during my stay. Given that it is busy season, I'm expecting I'll be in a climate controlled office at a desk most of the time (unless they have some type of open air office, but I doubt that).

Honolulu is currently 5 hours behind eastern standard time. That means that as you are executing a lunch plan, I am likely just waking up for the day and as you're watching the late night show, I'll be getting hungry and searching for something to eat for dinner. Since Hawaii is closer to the equator and they have more consistent daylight throughout the various seasons, they do not do Daylight Saving Time. So beginning March 14th, I will be 6 hours behind as you "Spring forward" and lose an hour.

  2. Mililani is where Keith's Uncle Frank lives. And you can see on the map that Makaha is really on the "West Side."
