The Fisherman’s Kayak

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

I love to feature products that are practical, efficient, and environmentally friendly. Sometimes however, I like to feature products that are pure luxury, items that just make Private Island living that much better.
I’m avid fisherman, and I enjoy kayaking so when I came across the Fisherman’s Kayak I knew I had to feature it.  The […]

Versatile Boat for Island Fun

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

A love of islands typically goes hand and hand with a love for the water.  Sailing, kayaking, and windsurfing are just some of the ways people enjoy the water around their islands.  The only disadvantage of partaking in these sports in the often high cost of these items combined with often limited storage space on […]

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Artificial islands are becoming more and more common, as people endevour to adopt the exclusive private island lifestyle. Today, island projects such as “The Palm” and “The World” both in Dubai are getting a lot of attention for their unique designs.

People love making lists, I think categorizing things gives people a sense that everything in the world is in order.  One of my favorite lists has been produced by WebUrbanist.  The website recently wrote an article highlighting some of the “island wonders of the world”

As I am sure many of my avid readers can tell you I am not very knowledgeable about technology. However I can identify products that would make island living easier, safer or more fun.  The underwater digital camera mask is the later. 
This scuba mask/camera, manufactured by Liquid Image, allows the user to take images […]

Man Crowns Self King of Island

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

A man named David Howe, was recently contacted by a genealogist in England who informed him […]

Tulip Island

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

I have never heard of this project before, and I am skeptical about the legitimacy of the rumors about the project. However, it is certainly not the first time humans have endeavored to build islands that resemble real objects (i.e. The World Dubai, the Palm Dubai).
Apparently the Dutch have come up with a radical […]

Brain Island

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

Yes the headline is correct you are looking at Brain Island. I like to consider myself a well read gentleman but this is definitely a little strange.  Brain Island is not actually a real island, and I don’t believe they actually plan on building it. From my understanding it is a sort of creative exercise […]
