Cave Diving – simply amazing

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

I was thinking about posting that Video of a cave dive, as it has nothing to do with the Philippines. Than I remembered my friend in Puerto Galera Dave Ross, who runs Tech Asia and the fire in his eyes when he spoke about that kind of stuff … in his case more wreck diving and the shiny eyes were not from the Beer in the Point bar…

Matt Reed is also one of the highest qualified Technical Diving instructors in the Philippines, now working out of Dumaguete, but you can dive with him all over the Philippines.

Matt explored some of the flooded caves in Mabinay, what was as of my knowledge the first exploration there and is ready to do more.

Cave-diving is safe if the diver follows the rules. Of course it is an overhead environment and the risk is higher than gliding on top of the Coral gardens in Dauin. You need the proper training, equipment, health and skills …

for all who have no clue what I am talking about, take your headphones and 8 minutes to watch the following amazing video about cave diving in mexico…

I hope you liked

Women are better driver

Friday, March 27th, 2009

I know that I don’t tell you anything new. I just wanted to make that statement after some breath-taking experience with the female gender in Dumaguete driving cars. A global study over a long term just proved  that women have only 23 % of the accident-rate of men.

I think that tells enough. To underline the statement I copied the final video-documentation in the frame below… no questions shall be asked…

… the study also said, that women drive only 9% of the kilometers/miles men do.
So if you look at the statistic for “numbers of accidents per 100.000 km/miles” the result looks “slightly” different.

drive with a smile

Performance reviews

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

I am pretty sure many of you who managed employees needed to write a recommodation letter. But what if that guy was a total waste of time? I found some quotes on another board and needed to steal that. Enjoy…
 

1. “Since my last report, this employee has reached rock-bottom and has started to dig.”

2. “I would not allow this employee to breed.”

3. “This employee is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definite won’t be.”

4. “Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap.”

5. “When he opens his mouth, it seems that it is only to change feet.”

6. “This young lady has delusions of adequacy.”

7. “He sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.”

8. “This employee is depriving a village somewhere of an i****.”

9. “This employee should go far, and the sooner he starts the better.”

10. “Got a full 6-pack, but lacks the plastic thingy to hold it all together.”

11. “A gross ignoramus – 144 times worse than an ordinary ignoramus.”

12. “He doesn’t have ulcers, but he’s a carrier.”

13. “I would like to go hunting with him sometime.”

14. “He’s been working with glue too much.”

15. “He would argue with a sign-post.”

16. “He brings a lot of joy whenever he leaves the room.”

17. “When his IQ reaches 50, he should sell.”

18. “If you see two people talking and one looks bored, he’s the other one.”

19. “A photographic memory but with the lens cover glued on.”

20. “A prime candidate for natural de-selection.”

21. “Donated his brain to science before he was done using it.”

22. “Gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn’t coming.”

23. “He’s got two brains cells, one is lost and the other is out looking for it.”

24. “If he were any more stupid, he’d have to be watered twice a week.”

25. “If you give him a penny for his thoughts, you’d get change.”

26. “If you stand close enough to him, you can hear the ocean.”

27. “It’s hard to believe he beat out 1,000,000 other sperm.”

28. “One neuron short of a synapse.”

29. “Some drink from the fountain of knowledge; he only gargled.”

30. “Takes him 2 hours to watch 60-minutes.”

31. “The wheel is turning, but the hamster is dead.

Watch that closely – thinking about hurts

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

Maybe “It hurts” is not the right description. I stumbled over a video which I just had to share. It gave me goose bumps and all my hair in my neck went straight up while watching it.

A guy named Steve Gass developed a Table Saw which stops when you put your finger into it.
Yeah man, right, maybe he has steel bones, that would stop the blade ripping of his finger, I thought.

Well Steve, the inventor got a visit from Discovery TV and demonstrated his table saw. I was watching that video now 3 times and it is still a kinda unreal for me. He proofed it with his own finger that the Table Saw really stops.

That saw-stop-module only works once but can be replaced at the cost of about US$ 60. 

That guy has unreal faith in his own creation.

My Grandpa would be happy if that invention came out some 50 years ago. One problem we may have in the Philippines here is that this table saw is not really useful.

Table Saws are mainly used to cut the beef, or at least the Karabow-meat, local butcher try to sell here as beef. You guys living here know what I am talking about…

amazing stuff of old mails-off topic

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

I found that in an old mail a good friend sent to me. I think it’s pretty amazing, so I just want to share it with you guys. First is the :

ALZHEIMER’S EYE TEST

Count every ‘ F ‘ in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS…

(SEE BELOW)

HOW MANY ?
WRONG, THERE ARE 6 — no joke.

READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F’s before you scroll down.

The reasoning behind is further down.
The brain cannot process ‘OF’.

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!

Anyone who counts all 6 ‘F’s’ on the first go is a genius.

Three is normal, four is quite rare.

 

and here one from From Cambridge University .

Olny srmat poelpe can raed tihs.
I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The
phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde
Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the
olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit
pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a
porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by
istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot
slpeling was ipmorantt! if you can raed tihs psas it on !!

First I thought I was one of the real smart ones as I had no problem of reading it.
Thinking again …. It’s better english than 9 out of 10 txt I receive

cheers

Rammstein versus Haindling

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

some of you know that I was a soundtech for 13 years in one of my past lifes. While surfing the net I found two videos of Bands I was touring with before. What cracked me up is that some guys out there changed the music and the video. They did it in a great professional way and it is really ammusing.

It is german, so most of you guys may not understand. The first band is Rammstein and is international well known. In tyhe video the guy who did it used the lyrics of Haindling, a guy who is since 20 years on the road in Bavaria/Germany and is famous for using weired instuments singing in bavarian slang.

 

The second video is Haindling but th video producer took a Rammstein song as a kind of Revenge. In my opinion he did a hell of a job and I can’t stop smiling. One of the reasons I put them up here is also that some of my german friends dropping by here at dive-monster.com and as they don’t surf the web like I do I want to share it with them and all of you. I hope you guys enjoy.
