More Images from the Virgin Islands Another highlight of the trip, was going to St John and diving in Lameshure Bay. Lameshur Bay was the site Project Tektite, a man-in-the-sea program that my father participated in. Diving with Pop and seeing where he lived for 60 days was treat. During our stay, he gave a talk on Tektite to a local school group. I am in the process of producing a quicktime movie of the talk. Here are some of the slides that I have scanned: The Tektite habitat sitting 50 ft below Lameshur Bay Lameshur Bay, the top of habitat visible to the left of the boat. Inside the habitat, looking out one of the windows. Even aquanauts have a sense of humor. The Tektite I aquanauts and backup divers. Pop is the one in the wetsuit. 9:59:10 PM     Comment []

Thrashing about with iMovie While I admit that iMovie is pretty slick for importing digital movies, I am finding that it is difficult to do anything more complex. One problem is the lack of decent documentation. Trying to separate video from audio and insert stills into the mix seems possible, but getting it to work correctly is very trying. Also, the application blows up every time I try to import a still image. All in all, it is a long, tiresome process. Perhaps I am trying to push the program too far. But right now, I am not too impressed. 2:16:06 PM     Comment []
