Antikythera | Diving through Time
The last several months, and particularly the past couple of weeks have been nothing short of mind numbing…in hindsight, in my opinion anyway, bringing the Exosuit full online and science-mission ready has been nothing short of a monumental task in a relatively short timeframe. While one mission has been triaged for a short time, mission…
Read MoreCNN the Sixties | the Space Race
While I’m not much of a television buff, I’ve been taken by CNN’s ‘The Sixties’, particularly the recent release of Episode 7: the Space Race. Two elements were particularly captivating: 1. The real ‘race’ in the effort with Russia, and the sense of American pride that was attached to various space program propaganda to drive…
Read Moreexploration and social responsibility
This evening, I had one of those moments when it all hit me. I took my 2 1/2 year old daughter outside for one last spin before bedtime in hopes of helping to wind her down. As these nights tend to go, the fresh air ends up more of a pick me up than anything,…
Read MoreAtlantis is Rising
Surely that post title caught your attention – and no, its not some propagandist hoax from the back of a tabloid. This is the real deal. The site, www.spiritscience.net recently released a piece describing 5 beautiful underwater cities – and these do indeed exist, or at least what remains of these cities that were once swallowed…
Read More6 months of decompression
With the blink of an eye, it had been six months since I had last been in the water. The last time I had been dry for that long was over a decade ago, but under very similar circumstances – that is taking the necessary time to incubate a new idea and take steps towards…
Read Morea perspective on privatized science
After stumbling on a recent and timely New York Times article about the privatization of science, I thought it would make for a compelling Blog post to discuss the matter from ‘the bottom up’. The article describes several science and exploration initiatives underway that have been financed by private companies or individuals in more recent…
Read Morea ‘flood’ of insight about our past, and our future
There are a few stories that make us all stop for a moment and contemplate the realities of the world we live in. One of them is the flood, as in THE flood. Recent archaeological finds in Iraq revealed a cuneiform tablet that references what may likely be a 4000 year old version of the…
Read MoreZeitgeist: the Movie | a review and discussion
On the very rarely found opportunity to kick back and lay on the couch on a Friday night, like many, I’ll watch a movie. While browsing Netflix for some time, the independent film ‘Zeitgeist’ kept maneuvering to the top of my various lists, so I gave it a go. Zeitgeist is a film by Peter…
Read Morethe holiday stretch aftermath
I often pride myself on a degree of minimalism. That minimalistic philosophy is derivative from many aspects of life over the years, but became deeply engrained at the early years of living this life aquatic, when it was fairly common to pack up two boxes of gear and a small backpack of personal items and be…
Read MoreCryptozoology | facts, fiction, and fantasy
There have been several reports of bizarre creatures washing up on the beach in recent months – triggering some hype about the field of ‘cryptozoology‘. This science, defined as the ‘study of hidden animals’, is arguably indeed a science – despite the overpowering popular myths and folklore that bring the body of work to the public.…
