Seven Island Wonders of the World

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

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”
Citing the fact that one in ten people in the world […]

Underwater Digital Camera Mask

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

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

Most island owners like to think of themselves as “masters of their domain” or the “king of their own island.” There is really no harm in doing this, unless of course thousands of people already live on the island.
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 […]

Seven Island Wonders of the World

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

A great little blog called WebUrbanist recently came out with their list of the seven island wonders of the world.  A great idea, and one that I am a little jealous that I didn’t think of.  In any case, their list is an exploration of the worlds most amazing, mysterious and remote islands in the […]

Spiral Island Update

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Two days ago I posted this article about Sprial Island a man made island located in a lagoon near Puerto Aventuras. The island was constructed out of 250,000 recycled pop bottles. Unfortunately the island was destroyed during Hurricane Emily in 2005. When I wrote the article I wondered whether or not the […]

First Ever Underwater Resort to be Built in Fiji

Saturday, October 13th, 2007

It looks like something out of a science fiction movie. A  businessman is embarking on a project on a private island in Fiji.  Like most private islands the island is breathtaking but its whats being planned for the waters around the island that is attracting all of the attention.  The founder of the project is […]

Island Travel of the Future

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

Sure its only a conceptual design but this uber-high tech hydrofoil could replace jets and traditional boats as a means of quick and luxurious island transportation. Designer Guillermo Sureda Burgos is serious about boats that are not only cool but functional. Designing everything from personal submarines to this four passenger submarine, Burgos is stretching the […]
