A NEW KIND OF CHRISTMAS

After consideration of many options and formats, we've settled on our 2022 Holiday Gathering and Awards Ceremony.  It will be at 5-7:00 pm on Thursday, December 8th, 2022 and it will be a hybrid.  Our venue, which we are very happy with, is the Conference Center at the Pacific Guardian Life Center  It is not as large a room as before covid, but certainly big enough to handle our special invitees, including our oli blessing and keynote, our Community and ThinkTech presenters and awardees and our staff, directors and underwriters.

From there and through our studio, we will produce and broadcast an interactive program to our many, many hosts, guests and friends in Hawaii and in so many other places around the world.  Through this hybrid format, we will reach more of our ThinkTech family than we have ever reached in any Holiday Gathering before.  Of course, we will record the event and post the video on our broadcast and on-demand social media platforms, so our viewers and followers can call it up and see it at any time in the future. 

We are working on this event now, and selections are being made for the program lineup and for the individuals and organizations who will receive these Community and ThinkTech talk show awards.  Stay tuned to our website and our Daily Email Advisories for more information as we get closer to the date.

This Holiday gathering will celebrate our 21st year of operation and usher in our 22nd year of providing citizen journalism, news and comment to our ThinkTech community and family, and the general public, and we look forward to connecting with all of our old friends, hosts and guests again for this December Holiday Season to catch up with you on where ThinkTech has been and where we are going. 

Please save the date, December 8th, and plan to join us then.  We'll keep you advised and provide more information soon.

PLEASE GET READY FOR OUR FALL FUND DRIVE The ramp up for our Fall Fund Drive starts in mid-October and the drive itself will be in and through the month of November.  It's coming soon so we're preparing for it, with our various emails, bulletins and messages to go to our viewers, hosts and guests, including you.  We rely heavily on our fund drives to pay the bills.  Regrettably, our last two fund drives were not as successful as we had hoped, and so this time we're working hard to address what we can do to make this one more successful. Will you join us?  Just as we are working hard to produce all our 30 weekly talk shows (which is an effort all in itself) and to prepare for our fund drive this fall, we hope you are thinking about what you can do to help us, to keep us on the air, to enable our staff and citizen journalists to do what they do. It doesn't happen by itself.  We have expenses every day, for staff, space, equipment, streaming and software subscriptions, and

Graphics are worth at least a thousand words We have so many stories and links on our various publications, including our Daily Email Advisories and our Flash Messages and all the newsletters we send out covering news, events, features, fund drives, projects and holidays. All these can all be better with graphics, graphics that catch the eye and reinforce the message.  And more and more we're getting into the swing of things by adding graphics to our content.  That can include graphics from one of the stock photo sites we use, or an AI graphic from Discord-MidJourney, or one of the graphics we have in our collection. We found and have moved on to storing our collection of photos and graphics in Google photos, where we have accumulated a huge number of them in that collection, and this helps us find and include them in all our publications.  The good thing about Google photos is that you can upload and tag them quickly, then find and download them quickly.  Furthermore, you can edit

THINKTECH WORKFLOW NOTICE ThinkTech is always improving its workflow. Now, in lieu of specific “airdates” we will simply upload your shows onto YouTube as soon as they are edited, i.e., 1-2 days after you have appeared on your show. As soon as the videos are uploaded, we will let you know and send you the on demand links for the show and the YouTube playlist so that you can watch the show and share those links withyour friends and associates.. We have redesigned our website to list all the Latest Productions on the top of the homepage (just below the player) and as a sidebar on other pages on the site, so that you can find and play them on demand as soon as they are available.  This will give you better production values for your shows, make it easier for you to find, play and replay them now and in the future, make the workflow easier for our staff, and save software subscription costs. What do you have to do?  Nothing, except share the on-demand links we send you to your friends and
