Manta Ray Rah Diggha , Maldives June 18 2010

Certainly an afternoon we wont forget. This Manta Ray was keen to take a look at us and play around for quite a while. This isn’t Scuba diving footage, we were simply snorkelling a shallow reef near Rah Dhigga Island. Once in a lifetime stuff…. None of the photo’s/video clips were taken with a zoom lens – The Manta was very close and very happy to be the star of the show!

So…you spend loads of money on Scuba diving (PADI actually stands for Pay. Another. Dollar. In) , then you get to see a fantastic Manta Ray, close enough to touch…while snorkelling. Unforgettable. June 18, Rah Dhigga Island.

First dive in the Madlives 2010

MANTA POINT: Of course the dive guides always say there will be Manta Rays. This time there was! great result for dive number one of the year. Also saw an Eagle Ray and Green Hawksbill Turtle. Spent the afternoon on Kuda Bandos, snorkelling and circumnavigating the whole island in under 15 minutes. Back on board Yasawa Princess by 16:05 – pronto.

Holy Moly. The future just caught up

There’s a new feature in Adobe Photoshop CS5 : the ‘Content-Aware Fill’.

This new tool achieves in seconds what would previously have taken hours , and considerable Photoshop skills. Now you can do it in a couple of clicks. Take a look at this demo to see how easy it is to make fake pictures.

Multi Links v2 Firefox addon

Multi Links is a pretty nifty Firefox addon….plus the developers have a cool logo.

It allows the user to draw a rectangle on the screen to open all links contained within that rectangle on release. This can be very helpful to open links lists, all threads on a forum page, linked photos in a single blogpost or forum at once.

Weakerthans

The Weakerthans. Are ace.

The have a new live DVD / album out “Live at the Burton Cummings Theatre”

Strangely the bands website doesn’t seem to have been updated with this momentous news? so I thought I’d post it here on my own high hit rate site (yeah , right). Anway, everyone should take a listen to the Weakerthans.
