After a highly inattentive two and a half years or so – wherein we had a bunch of babies and moved the family from Chicago to Minneapolis and back again, and launched into an insane home remodel – we thought perhaps before another year passed into history, we at Konakai.com would get off our fat ass and actually try and update the site in a significant and legitimate fashion. Truth be told, we didn't get as far as we would have hoped - yet. There's a whole new design sitting just waiting in the wings, assuming we can figure out some of the "technical bits" we're hoping to add. But at our current rate of progress, it could be 2008 before that comes around.

As it stands, there's still a couple hundred links that need to be added – links sent our way from many of you fine folks. We'll be trying to get to those in the next few days, as well as fixing up all the broken links and inaccurate or just stupid classifications, but in the meantime, we wanted to say thanks for thinking of us, and more importantly, thanks for your patience. We sincerely appreciate your ongoing suggestions, and welcome your further thoughts on classifications, new sites, broken links, errors in content or judgment, well-wishes and the occasionally simply bizarre emails that come our way from time to time.

There's a truly astounding wealth of sites and artists and musicians and tiki lovers out there, and what you've produced to share your love of this thing with each other borders on the breathtaking. Of course, it could just be that I'm winded from walking a little too fast across the room to type this up...

Cheers and aloha. Happy new year, gang.
