Last weekend I went down to San Carlos, Mexico for a dive trip with my local dive shop, Planet Scuba. Read on for a summary of my trip!
What’s in that hole? – Episode 0
Hello everybody and welcome to Episode 0 of What’s in that Hole?, a new series I will be writing for my blog. Before we get started with the main question, which is of course “what’s in that hole?,” I thought I’d write this preview to answer some of the other questions you might have. Because let’s be honest here – if you don’t have any questions at this point you are probably pretty weird (like me).
Experiment: Nutella & Go breadsticks vs. pretzel sticks
Recently, some friends gave me a few packs of Nutella & Go, the on-the-go packs with sticks you’re supposed to use to eat the Nutella with. Very kind, since I do indeed have quite the appetite for Nutella. There used to only be one version of this: the breadsticks version. But now there is a newcomer on the scene: pretzel sticks. Of course, I never bother eating any of the sticks anyway (Nutella is best served on a spoon) so this is not directly relevant to me.

My very first blog post
Those of you who know me well will know that, despite my technical aptitude, I’m often among the last of the ‘cool people’ to get with the times when it comes to the digital world (do I count as cool people? I may have just given myself an undeserved promotion). But lately I’ve made somewhat of a push, highlighted in the last month by: Numerous selfies on my recent trip to Europe.
