Welcome to Mike Foley’s blog. For the past decade I’ve been contributing freelance stories, photos and other digital media to a number of hard-copy, online publications and web sites originating out of my home town of Laie, principally including:
- BYU-Hawaii Newsroom
- BYU-Hawaii Alumni eNewsletter
- BYU-Hawaii Magazine
- Polynesian Cultural Center web site
- Polynesian Cultural Center eNewsletter
- Kaleo: Koolauloa News (and its predecessor)
Many of the more than two-million words I’ve written over the past 30-plus years have been promotional and/or journalistic in style, and often didn’t carry my byline. My stories and pictures have been read and viewed around the world. But lately I’ve been wanting to share some of my own mana’o [Hawaiian for "thoughts" or "opinions"] on a number of other topics that don’t necessarily fit into any of the above; so, after working for years on blogs for other organizations, I’ve decided to join the blogosphere for myself…and hope you find something of interest among the entries that follow.
