So, did my second skydive today and it was even better than the one a few years ago. This time I actually remember the first ten seconds – check out the vein on my head when I’m upside-down here!
Thanks to the guys (especially Tim, my instructor) at Skydive the Beach Sydney for looking after me so well (and to Karin for the present!).
UPDATE: You can watch the Quicktime movie of the dive (9.8MB) in all its glory here.
Another great piece of headgear thinking from my mate Nik Roope at Hulger. the WEARHEAD*PHONES are part of a show called Hearwear at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, which aims to re-think hearing aids.
Basically a radio mic and a bluetooth headset, you can not only use them as a hearing aid but also a VOIP or iPod headset. Pretty much everything all in one. Rocking street-style looks too. It’s a bonus that so many people are happy to look cool in old-school headphones these days and that most mobiles have headsets.
There is a piece about the show from the BBC here. Nice to see it getting some mainstream attention.
