| Cave diving |
| Sunday, August 19, 2007 |
Cave diving is among the most dangerous and deadly forms of scuba. But as these images show, it is also one of the most rewarding. As you dive in a cave, you are often hundreds or thousands of feet from air, you must use the air you have only (an overhead environment). Also it is typically pitch black, so if your light sources fail you will be lost. Divers also use lines to help keep them from getting lost.
When divers use common sense and follow important safety rules, diving these overhead environments can be nearly as safe as diving in open water. However, when divers fail to follow these rules, the results are often tragic. Since 1950, nearly 400 divers have perished in Florida's caverns and caves. The vast majority of these divers had no formal training in cavern or cave diving.
In the 1960s and 1970s, cave diving pioneer Sheck Exley conducted a careful study of cave diving fatalities. What he discovered was that, in virtually every instance, the victims' demise could be attributed to one or more of just three direct causes. Later, National Speleological Society Cave Diving Section (NSS-CDS) Training Chairman Wes C. Skiles identified two additional factors that, while not directly responsible for divers' deaths, nonetheless contributed substantially to most such fatalities.
Together, the findings of Exley and Skiles form the basis for what cave divers know as the Rules of Accident Analysis. These five rules form the basis for all modern cave diver training. They are something of which every diver who visits this unique area should be aware.
* 5: Use Three Sources of Light
* 4: Remain Within the Safest Possible Operating Limits for Your Breathing Media
* 3. Keep Two Thirds of Your Starting Gas Volume in Reserve to Exit the Cave
* 2. Maintain a Continuous Guideline to the Cave Exit
* 1. Be Trained for Cave Diving, and Remain Within the Limits of Your Training |

| Hyposurface |
| Thursday, August 16, 2007 |
"HypoSurface is the World's first display system where the screen surface physically moves! Information and form are linked to give a radical new media technology: an info-form device.
The surface behaves like a precisely controlled liquid: waves, patterns, logos, even text emerge and fade continually within its dynamic surface. The human eye is drawn to physical movement, and this gives HypoSurface a basic advantage over other display systems.
As a digital device, any input (sound, movement, an Internet feed...) can be linked to any output (logos, patterns, text...) This offers full interactivity with an audience, and a simple User Interface allows HypoSurface to be 'tuned' to any event, its wide range of effects choreographed easily."
That will be my next monitor for Quake. The rockets really will kill you. |
