I haven't been around for a bit now, but I'm working on some wicked stuff these days.
So while I cry about my website being down and a whole lot of broken equipment at work. *sigh*
I'll geek out. Here's two shows that I've watched a few times. They may be old to some, but if you haven't seen them you should watch them.
I'll preface this by saying I'm like way into biology. Like, that's what I was going to do and sort of still do with my life.
Anyways at around 3am last night on Discovery (or The Science Channel) there was a show called "Blue Planet: Seas of Life - Deep".
http://science.discovery.com/tvlistings/episode.jsp?episode=2&cpi=21025&gid=0&channel=SCI
So anyways they took Alvin down 3 miles and you really wouldn't ever imagine the sea life they found. I mean really awesome deep sea fish with bioluminescent features, huge sharks, and the best underwater mountain range photography I've seen. There's a lot of footage of creatures and landscapes that nobody has ever seen before.
The other show I'll gush about is "Deep in the Lion's Den". The absolute best lion footage I've seen. They used a remote controlled boulder camera to get close (and I mean live with) a den of lions. There's cub footage that is unbelievable.
You guys have to see both of these. Steal your naighbors cable, sell your sister, break into somebodies house. Just watch em.
Happy 06!
