Meet the Directors

We decided this week to take a little break from the outward-looking review of the Internet to give you an inward-looking perspective on the four men who are the directors of the Internet Review Corporation (the non-profit entity that manages Akahele.org).  We hope you’ll find this Q & A appealing, and we encourage you below to COMMENT your own answers back to us!

What’s your favorite website for fun stuff?

Paul Wehage: RedHotJazz is the best collection of classic Jazz on the web.  Check out the Harry Reser clips for some really hot tunez.

Anthony DiPierro: Google Maps.

Judd Bagley: Pandora, which is the source for 99% of the new music I discover these days.

What’s your favorite website for serious stuff?

Paul Wehage: Um… EncyclopediaDramatica.com?  No, wait… WorldCat for finding any book you could ever want!

Anthony DiPierro: Google Mail.

Gregory Kohs: The Google family of sites — while the dependence on one entity for e-mail, local maps, search, document storage, image storage, news alerts, and books is frightening; you have to admit that Google does all of these things very, very well.

What TV show are you most likely to be watching this week?

Paul Wehage: I stopped watching TV about 5 years ago.  I can see anything I want on the web, anyway.  Why let people tell you what to watch?

Anthony DiPierro: Dora the Explorer (I’m “watching” it now).

What kind of car do you drive?

Paul Wehage: A 1988 Renault 4.  Actually, it’s the dog’s car, and he lets us drive it when he’s not using it.

Anthony DiPierro: A 1998 Honda Civic.

Judd Bagley: 2001 Honda Civic.  Getting old but still refusing to give me a reason to replace it.

Gregory Kohs: 2007 Kia Rio.

Who is your most admired person of the past 100 years?

Judd Bagley: Ferdinand Pecora, the incorruptible chief counsel of the Senate commission that investigated the causes of the Crash of 1929.

Gregory Kohs: Winston Churchill.

Favorite vacation spot you’ve ever visited?

Judd Bagley: Kona, on the Big Island of Hawaii. The place is like a drug, and I’m always plotting schemes to get more.

Gregory Kohs: Virgin Gorda in the BVI.  Our honeymoon was cut short by 36 hours, due to my father-in-law’s heart attack and stroke.  I’d like to return to reclaim those 36 hours, especially now that I’m better at sailing.
