Aidonia

Yep great lyrics (cornerstone of the dancehall genre of today) but also that gravelly voice mistaken by the editor for that dancehall legend himself beenieman! These guys dont mince words and hence don't make mainstream culture- how are you going to market this? The reality is that they do two versions clean and raw...many don't get so far as a clean version. Often loosing a small amount of lyrical smut isn't so detrimental. And the Vybez Kartel can do this..

listen to the awesomeness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fHYch3GzeE and understand why I needed to cut some gamerdj here

The 640d a new era for the diesel ?

The 640d a new era for the diesel ?

This is what someone more clued up has to say on the subject:

Here’s a couple of bits and pieces about the mighty BMW 640d. Seems odd to be able to refer to a diesel as ‘mighty’ but such it is and a real sign of the times. I guess it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that diesels are finally where it’s at for real-world useable performance mated to stunning economy, given that diesel cars have dominated the winners enclosure at Le Mans for the past 5 or 6 years.

"

Anyway, for the record the 640d produces 313bhp and an eye-watering 465lbs/ft of torque, giving the Uber-coupe figures of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and onto an electronically governed top speed of 155mph. DMS and other such companies will further enhance the power levels to 380+ bhp and 580+lbs/ft torque for a modest sum (under £1k) and remove the top speed limiter at the same time, giving performance figures of circa 4.5 0-60 and 180+ mph. Add in sensational levels of in-gear acceleration to rival most supercars and a fantastic 8 speed gearbox that works brilliantly both as a flappy paddle manual AND as a full auto (very rare to have both work this well) and the ability to cross continents with ease, returning 50+ mpg and 850 mile range between fill-ups and I think you might begin to see why this middle-aged geezer is so interested in this level of middle-aged comfort :)

Jason De Caires Taylor is at it again !

Jason De Caires Taylor is at it again !

You probably dont know who this is and that is what is so cool about the net, stumbling across this kind of thing. I met Jason once upon a time on a dive boat in Grenada. He gave me some tips on shooting underwater footage. This is the kind of thing he does...

But the news is that he just signed up to do one of his famous 'parks' in Lanzarote ! And as usual each one has some fantastic ideas for new sculptures. His work isnt just underwater it is distinctly meaningful. And you have the chance to be moulded into one of his underwater characters, he likes people is a common theme in his work. I sugest you head over to his site to see some inspirational work. Long may he continue to make interesting dive sites and also snorkle sites as they are never too deep.

Thanks Jason ! Visit Underwater Sculpture >>

Quad FPV Aerial Videography Bundles

My research has led me to the following:

The original discussion on dji forums: http://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1514&page=1#pid11247

Here is saying that the Phantom 2 is hard to beat, the all up package is around a thousand. But the flamewheels maybe will date less quickly than the Phantom. But the flamewheel needs to be packaged up and these guys offer this..

http://www.marionvillemodels.com/rc-shop/dji-f450-flamewheel-naza-light-readytofly-package.html

So I will look to see what the flameweel vs phantom 2 bundle could work out at.

An example of me being weird

I am weird it is often said, and here is an example. A small thing that makes me happy : Im taking today an item to the rubbish tip that has had its full life and beyond. I'm talking about my dive bag. The zip had stopped working luckily it had 2 openings and had jammed shut ! The linings inside had gone but it still worked. The cockroaches from antigua decided to find a better life elsewhere and today it is getting its rightful place on the landfill. It worries me that we throw so much away, moreso that this bothers only me. Today i got a full life from a product tool, we all ask a full well lived life and we should do the same of our products. The bag was an old carlise roller duffle and i managed to replace with the same kind as it was so useful. It said dont bother trying to find anything of value inside too.
