    It's been 5 months!

    since I dove and to me it seems like an eternity...I also feel "rusty" and would need to do some simple dives to get re-oriented. Given this, I cannot simply fathom how people who have 2, 3 or 4 year gaps in their diving are just signing up for advanced dives without taking a refresher or at...

    it finally happened

    After a decade of travel and never being robbed I was finally pickpocketed in Macao. Some piece of scum managed to unzip my backpack, possibly on the crowded escalator? and help themselves to my iPhone 3g which was in a top pocket. Ah, so bummed! The phone has autolock turned on so at least I...
