Dive Gear Review: Spyder-K01 8mm BIB hood

When I heard about the super stretchy K01 hood, I will admit to being skeptical.   A few years back I discovered the Waterproof 5/10 hood and thought for sure I’d found diving hood nirvana.  It is a fantastic hood but would get stiff over time (easily remedied by buying 2 or 3 at a time and retiring regularly).  I… Read more →

Of jet lag and fog horns

It is 7:30am, I sit here, sipping coffee from my favorite Batman mug.  I have been awake for some time now, to those of you who know, me I can see you reaching for the phone to call X files because some alien must have kidnapped me and has left a doppleganger in my place to gather information.  Put the… Read more →

Barcelona anyone? Mobile World Congress!

This topside trade show video thing is continuing to be the gift that keeps on giving.  Our successful work at New Mobility World in Frankfurt where I produced a number of videos for the Startup Zone brings truth to the old adage “work begets work”. Most recently I spent a week and a half with the team from House of… Read more →

Hello honey badger

Have you ever just wanted to throw your hands in the air and just say “no more comments on my FB posts”? Well, if that is the case, this nice gentleman has a quick way to allow this magical thing to occur until FB allows “no comment” in privacy. The only downside is that he makes you sign up with… Read more →

iPad Pro, Morpholio Trace and critters!

As I chase my ducks around trying to get things in line for upcoming fundraising campaign for Beneath the Looking Glass project, I was thinking of what kind of things I can give supporters at different award levels.   When creating videos for the project I thought, wouldn’t it be cool to trace a screen grab for an ‘info’ page… Read more →

Sharing Google Cardboard with my Dad

I scored a handful of Google Cardboards at the Seattle VR show a couple weeks ago.  The first thing i did was take a set over to show my 84 year old dad 🙂 He was stunned and delighted… I was stunned by how quickly he took to them and also delighted and I asked him to write down his… Read more →

Wen scuba and hair collide

Hair.  Scuba. Long, short, long, short… It has been a cycle since I started diving back in 1990.  A orbit if you will that rotates around scuba diving.     1993 – long, 1995 – short, 2009 – long again, 2014 – short again… Sea, Salt, Sun, latex neck seals, highlights, coloring the grey… It all takes a toll, but… Read more →

A diving NERD at heart…

The Shearwater NERD. Seriously, this is the best thing to happen to dive computers and rebreathers …ever.  Especially if you are photographer or videographer.  I feel so strongly about this that I will go on record saying I think that they should be standard issue on all rebreathers. HUD’s or Heads up displays are the future of pretty much everything… Read more →

Panasonic GH4: The best camera I was prepared to hate

Sometimes I get an idea in my head.  I don’t always know where it comes from, listening to others, random ideas… Sometimes it’s just me being a wanker and not liking something I don’t/can’t have.  I get all down on it so I don’t ‘want’ it.  I know, a bit juvenile, but hey, we all have our moments, right? Such… Read more →

Trashing Puget Sound: Downtown Field Trip

This garbage pile and the litter strewn across several blocks of downtown Seattle was brought to my attention by a concerned citizen who feels his voice isn’t really being heard. He has written emails and letters to the DOT and municipalities trying to understand who is responsible for cleaning up this mess. Blame is placed on the homeless, but that… Read more →
