Visualising data using R and Many Eyes (IBM)
It’s been a while since I’ve had a look to see what visualisation techniques are out there – possibly because had nothing that interesting to visualise. However, looking at my dive log the other day I thought it could do with a more intuitive way of analysing the data – in the form of a [...]
Should I buy an expensive dive computer for technical diving?

Palau, Malapascua and too many airports
Traveling to Palau is no easy task – I chose to fly Emirates to Manila via Dubai, then Continental Micronesia to Palau. On paper the stop overs looked a good idea, break up the travel, eat some food, do a little shopping but in the end it more than doubled the travel time.Something to bear [...]
