This is a photograph of me taking a photograph of me with silly goggles on. Actually, the goggles aren’t so silly. They’re rather practical for the fishermen who use them. It’s more me who looks silly with them on, so perhaps the adjective “silly” is more applicable to me than the goggles.
The point of […]
It was Pasta’s birthday a couple of days ago. She’s 13 years old now, which is getting up there for a golden retriever. Fortunately, she’s alert and active, which meant she was fully able to enjoy the custom “birthday cake” we prepared for her (dog food, bonito flakes and tuna).
In fact, Pasta was so […]
Instead of writing a long blog post about my recent trip to Sabah, I decided to put together a video essay, posted below:
The original file is posted at Blip.tv, which is one of the many online video hosting sites that have popped up in the past couple of years. I’m still trying them out, […]
During my past few trips, I’ve had an opportunity to use compact cameras underwater. Clearly, using compact digital cameras isn’t something I’d normally do (as anyone who’s seen my mountain of SLR-related equipment will attest to), but I get asked often about how to take nice photos underwater using compact cameras, so it’s not […]

I’m still struggling to catch up with emails, work and life after my getting back from my latest trip. On my list of things “to do” (unfortunately very far down) is to write about some of the things that happened.
Hopefully I’ll have time to do so, but in the meantime, here’s a short video […]

From an elevator in Fortune Town in Bangkok. I was tempted to take a look on Level 4.5, but decided not to risk getting stuck in limbo.
I’m back in Thailand now, after a terrific but exhausting trip to Sabah. There was a lot that I wanted to post while I was there, but I just didn’t have the time or energy. The project I was working on required me to get up around 05:00 every day, even though I usually […]
I’m on the way to Sabah now, for a week of diving, meeting new people, and learning about new developments in the area. It’s been a while since I’ve spent any significant time in Sabah, so it’ll almost be like visiting for the first time.
Specifically, I’ll be visiting Sipadan, Mabul and Mataking…all of which […]
Finally, I managed to have Thai food for dinner. We went to a place known as pad thai pratuphi for pad thai, certainly among the most popular of well-known Thai dishes and one of my favourites.
It’s a small local restaurant near the Grand Palace. The restaurant is really famous and always packed. It’s also […]
One thing that’s common to all trade and consumer shows is how rapidly they end.
One minute, the exhibition hall is filled with people, the low rumble of background chatter, and booths crammed with equipment, brochures and other knick-knacks.
But as witching hour approaches, a barely perceptible, but omnipresent low-level hum inevitably resonants through the […]
