So this is a totally silly blog post, and not something I’d normally care about… but…

Mahalo is a human-powered search engine that works to create a *useful* index of relevant web information. Not necessarily important web information, but definitely relevant information. They also have a daily video podcast, Mahalo Daily, about casually interesting, and sometimes techy topics. They used to have Veronica Belmont as the host/interviewer, but she moved on to other things, and Mahalo decided to have a contest to select a new host.

For some reason (probably because it was snowing in Seattle in April), I watched some of the live stream of the host selection contest, and one young lady, Lisa Brewster, seemed to stand out from the rest of the Hollywood actresses that showed up. She seemed like the ideal combination of cute, techy, geeky that would be great for a video podcast like Mahalo Daily.

Good luck Lisa.
