    Drop Shadow Redux

    Just fooling around testing drop shadows – will try using them floated to the right now and then. The theme of this post is drop shadows via CSS and cute cat photos are obligatory for examples. So, with any luck, wa-la! Why? Well, some bloggers like to use small thumbnails floated to the right instead of to the left, especially if there’s some theme or product information they are discussing in the body of the post. And ***Dave is having some display problems with right-floated images in IE7, although his blog looks great in Firefox and fine in IE7. Blogula…

    Post-Snorkel Post On Hawaii in Hawaii

    Hey! Lookit all mai new fishfrenz! Kahaluu Beach Park Snorkeling Secrets! The Complete Guide to Big Island Snorkeling! Kahaluu Beach Park is a tiny sheltered cove on the west side of the Big Island right in the town of Kailua Kona. It’s one of only a handful of beaches in Hawaii with such a large tame fish population. Kahaluu Beach is not a marine preserve, yet for having no fishing limitations, it rivals and sometimes surpasses the quantity of fish you’ll see at a dedicated marine sanctuary. We’re on the Big Island, so we’re now On Hawaii In Hawaii. We…

    Trouble in Paradise

    Trouble in paradise: Cash-strapped tourists avoid Hawaii – USATODAY.com LAHAINA, Maui — Every winter, scores of humpback whales trade the Gulf of Alaska for a few months of breeding, birthing and basking in Hawaii — a follow-the-sun migration that fuels much of the tourism industry in this former 19th-century whaling town. But while the marine giants are returning right on schedule this year, their cash-strapped human admirers are not. And the effect of that absence is, “in a four-letter word, ugly,” says Bill Seidl, a boat captain who peddles whale-watch trips on the Lahaina waterfront. We seem to have fallen…

    We went on Captain Andy’s Na Pali Adventure cruise yesterday – billed as a snorkel trip, but too rough to actually go in. But we were happy to see all the dolphins (spinner and bottlenose) and whales. I didn’t get very many good fluke shots, but I’m happy with this one. I have another one that’s more suitable for researchers who identify individual whales by the unique patterns on the undersides of their tails. The day started VERY early, but not horribly early. We just had to be about 30 minutes down the road before 7:15 am, which is not…
