Welcome to Issue 5 of the Hawaii Slack newsletter! The kids are heading back to school, bon dances are busting out all over, and we want to know what you've been up to! Check in and share your latest project!

Hawaii Slackians continue to explore the mysterious and surreal world of TikTok, connect with other book lovers on GoodReads, and cringe at the horrific reality of today's social web with the Wired book of the month, "It Came From Something Awful."

Open positions shared in the last month include:

Are you hiring? Be sure to let everyone know!

Italian was the flavor of the month, as Steven prepares for a trip to Italy. Follow along as he tries some of the Italian offerings in Honolulu, which includes eateries like Mediterraneo, Viaggio, Paesano, and Vein in Kakaako. Have your own recommendations on places to go and dishes to try? Chime in!

Since our June update (okay, we missed July entirely), our hui has grown from 170 to over 200 members. Again, we can't list everyone, but the latest members include Jaron Schreiber, Joshua Bell, Ross Higa, Dillaur Tellei, Estefania Osorio, Chandler Carlson, Zoran Vidanovic, and James Pratt!

If you can think of someone who would make a good addition to the 'ohana, feel free to send them to HawaiiSlack.com or just forward this email and encourage them to email me at ryanozawa@gmail.com.

If you haven't already, please be sure to like the Hawaii Slack page on Facebook... and we'd especially love it if you'd share the page on your profile to encourage your obviously brilliant and talented friends to join!
