You know what... I am not even ready to pick a caption contest winner right now, I am not convinced that you guys sent enough material in yet. In time there will be a winner, but not just yet. I have so many great things to post, but I frankly am going to post this content first: my computer art. You see my computer is a very sexy item, and images of my computer are simply brilliant. Computer art pulls rank before any other post. |

| Caption Contest! OMGROFL. |
| Monday, May 28, 2007 |
PineApples By Erwin!
Well you all know how this works: dl this image and add your own caption, then post the image and email me or comment the link, or email the image to me and I'll post it for you. Everyone gets a post and a link to your page of choice, and the winner gets his or her caption in place of the boiler plate forever. Imagine how many people will know you at that point, you will be huge in Japan and among the Francophone porn browsers.

| Free Diving |
| Tuesday, May 22, 2007 |
Free diving is going deep under water with a single breath. There are many different methods for competition, and as a result there are different record depths. It is certainly most obvious when crazy divers break records, but the majority of free diving is simply for sport, not for competition.
In the first video you see a free immersion record, in this the diver must not change his ballast (like drop weight for the return trip) but he can use a line to pull down and up. The song is Vide Cor Meum if you like it. I have it in my youtube favorites if you want to grab it on the quickness.
In the middle video, you have a no limits attempt (the most dangerous and imho the least impressive) that nearly results in the death of the diver. In no limits, a heavy sled takes the diver down and then lift bags filled with air return the diver very very quickly on the way back. But as you can see, if the sled fails a diver might be stuck in 75+ meters of water. That is very scary to me, and even when it does work I feel like no limits is taking the best parts of free diving (being free from the tons of gear found in scuba) out of the sport.
The last video shows free diving for fun. This incredible dive shows a passage under an arch at a reported depth of insane 60 meters. Hard to imagine what that must have been like... I suggest you all get a mask and snorkel, some fins, and try it for yourself. I generally work with 10 meters or less, so that gives you a good perspective on how deep these guys go.
BTW as this long post might indicate, I am going to return to the post skip two days post schedule at times (like my other pages). Not that I am running out of material, but I would rather do fewer good post than daily crap. Expect a solid two posts a week, maybe more when I get something I need to share. |

| Win $10 |
| Sunday, May 13, 2007 |
I want to get people to use the newly added archives. I have placed a 5 digit, random number among the archives at some point. The first person to find it will win $10 via the mail or paypal as you want.
Well the contest is over, my man Vents has found the number. It is located here - 13579. He will get the money via the mail. He has actually informed me of a little trick that he used, so future contests will have to be slightly different to prevent this. Anyway, thanks for playing and expect a new contest in the near future. So keep checking back every day or two for updates. |
