Kayaking into Dubrovnik
I often squint my eyes as we paddle up to old Dalmatian towns and try to imagine how it was to arrive in them from the sea before the surrounding modern development occurred. I found myself screwing up my eyes again as we kayaked towards the walls of Dubrovnik from Lopud. It must [...]
Ferry to Šipan Island, Kayak to Lopud Island
In the morning twilight we sat and cradled our coffees as we waited for the early departure of the ferry to Šipan Island. Šipan is one of the Elafiti Islands, a chain of islands which run between Dubrovnik and the Pelješac Peninsula. These islands once were the [...]
Kayaking to Sobra
We were able to have a sleep-in this morning - but surprisingly this was not due to hangovers thanks to the preservative free wine!
We continued to make our way down the north coast of Mljet towards the town of Sobra, the ferry port of the island. The only other signs of humanity we [...]
Boat Ride to Mljet Island, Walk around the Lakes, Kayak to Kozarica
After a breakfast of pancakes topped with homemade jams, eggs from Seka’s chickens and teas made with herbs from her garden, we loaded the kayaks on the transport boat for Mljet Island.
The kayaks were left in the town of Pomena while we took [...]
Kayaking to Trstenik, Dinner with Seka
This day’s paddle was to take us to Trstenik, another small bay along the Pelješac Peninsula. Wine was once again to play its part, as our boats were followed for the day by the hills of the Dingač region.
Dingač is a red wine producing area. They take Dalmatia’s local [...]
Kayaking from Korčula to Podobuce
The kayaks were launched from in front of the old walls, and we headed across the channel towards the Pelješac Peninsula. The calm waters we were crossing were teeming in history. Most importantly, in 1298 the Battle of Korčula was fought between the Venetians and the Genoese. As the smoke [...]

Only, this one did not involve a creel or a bait or a rod. Maybe I am wrong about the bait. I was the bait. Chip loves fish. In every way. To watch, to eat. Mostly to eat. The first time he saw live fish swimming was over a year and half ago in a store that old adventure gear and clothing. The store has a huge stone aquarium filled with, I think, Koi fish. Chip ran excitedly to it, he was only 18mo then and I pointed the fish out to him. Chip saw them for a bit, then promptly asked to eat them.A few days ago, bolstered by the wild birds coming to our back yard, I decided to give in to Chip’s demands for getting a fish tank at home. We got a small plastic one, a live plant to put in it, some gravel, water conditioner, some food, a thermometer, a net and of course some live fish. We set up

In 2006, biologists for The Peregrine Fund discovered a remote and tiny population of Madagascar Pochards (Aythya innotata) made up of males, females and most encouragingly ducklings. Madagascar pochards are a medium-sized diving duck endemic to Madagascar. Formally, the stronghold of the species was Lake Alaotra but the lake has over the years degraded due to agriculture production, invasive species such as Tilapia sp. and water hyacinth in addition to pollution and run off from anthropogenically induced erosion via deforestation and soil degradation. The duck was considered "possibly extinct" just before being rediscovered. It is possible to save this species by protecting habitat where remnant populations exist and establishing the species in captivity. From my experience, most po
Pre-existing heart condition led to the heart attack that caused a man to die while riding Expedition Everest at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
According to the news story, the guy was aware of his condition, but chose to ride anyway. Bad decision, but I can understand why he may have risked it.
Sad situation. Especially during this time of year.
Full StoryÂ
A 44 year old man died yesterday while riding the Expedition Everest Coaster at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. No reason has been given yet, but I’m guessing it is another undiagnosed medical condition situation.
In the world of roller coasters, Expedition Everest isn’t one of the fastest, highest, or anthing like that. It is a well themed coaster that is totally unique. There are some parts of the ride that pull high G-forces, but these do not last for any substantial amount of time. At Walt Disney World, I’d rank it as the 2nd most thrilling coaster behind Rock -’n Roller Coaster.
I’m sure more info will come out, but it will not make the front page news like the initial death story is. That’s typical of the media these days.

Nikon D80 Shark Photography Expedition Bahamas : The Sea & Sea DX-D80 is a professional underwater housing, but because it is very easy to use the beginner underwater photographer can use it as well. It is quite robust; it can be taken down up to 60 meters. Without the digital SLR camera it weighs 2700 grams, which is still quite heavy. Luckily it is easy to handle, and because of the neutral weight underwater, you do not notice that it is heavy. The back of the underwater housing is made of polycarbonate and the front is made of corrosion-resistant aluminium alloy, for maximal stiffness and a solid grip. It is too bad that it is not made completely of aluminium, because this makes it more robust.Mark Petersmore : letsgodigital

A couple of weeks ago, I described a particularly interesting interview that I faced during my ongoing job hunt. Throughout the entire job search process, I had several other interesting learning experiences and thought it may be appropriate to condense some of them in this blog post.
Below is a compilation of some salient points that resulted either from my personal experience or from discussions with friends, peers, interviewers, and current and former bosses. Although, this is a fairly long post, it is certainly not intended to be any kind of a “comprehensive guide” for job search - so feel free to voice your opinions (positive or negative) on the subject.
1. Keywords in your resume are important: This was a disappointment to me, but this is what I have observed (perhaps people in different industries have different ways of doing things) - your resume is essentially worthless without some keywords relating to the position you are applying for.

For those of us who can only dream of such adventures, we can live vicariously through the travels of Dave Connors. Earlier this month (November 2007), Dave set out on a ten month journey through two continents, eighteen countries, and approximately 14,000 miles. His solo overland adventure (driving his 80-series Toyota Land Cruiser) began in Salt Lake City, Utah and will take him through Central and South America to his goal of completing the adventure in Ushuaia, Argentina.
Dave is posting almost daily updates on his blog at On the Road to Ushuaia.
For those of you who want to see the SPOT Satellite Messenger in use, Dave is sending his waypoints via the SPOT to his blog which are readable with GoogleEarth.
