I’m 32 today. Remarkably, I still feel like I’m 25, and that’s a good thing. Even though I’m a slug and I don’t excercise at all, my body is holding up well, and more importantly I feel like I’m ten years younger.

Today is another research day; I’m immersing myself in the world of underwater photography, hoping that I can learn as much as possible before they throw me off the boat into the water. For those that are interested, I found a few good sites and a few forums for underwater photography enthusiasts.

Present. Oh, and I also ordered a Canon G3 from buy.com this afternoon, with a 256MB card, for a total just over $680. Not bad, considering local stores list them for $700. There’s still other things I need to pick up for this before I go diving:

• One or two extra batteries
• Straps for attaching the unit to my BC
• An extra PCMCIA adapter for SmartMedia
• Possibly new foam inserts for the Pelican to fit all this stuff

I’ve given up on the solar recharger for the PowerBook; it just is too expensive and bulky. Especially considering I’ll be lugging two Pelicans thru the airport—one for the housing/flash units and one for my laptop and camera.
