 My name is Michelle Whiting, but my friends call me Humuhumu. No connection to the fish. I lived in Hawaii for a short but affecting time as a child, and that plus a love for themed environments and midcentury Americana led me to the wonderful world of Tiki and Polynesian Pop. My life, thankfully, hasn't been the same since.
I take my efforts to archive the current state and the history of these places quite seriously--it's a tall task, challenging and never-ending--but it is also a consuming passion, something that brings me no small amount of pleasure. Critiki is a not-for-profit project, a way to contribute back to the tikiphile community, and I hope that it is a useful resource for people.
In addition to Critiki, I run two other tiki themed websites:
When I'm not working on my websites, or moderating at Tiki Central, I develop websites and database-driven applications. For more information, visit http://www.humuhumu.com.
