A great video I discovered on another Japan-themed blog recently. Three fascinating deep sea creatures strutting their stuff; the Firefly Squid (arguably Japan’s most recognisable bioluminescent organism), some dinoflagellates (glow-in-the-dark plankton) and the rainbow-like comb-jelly, which looks more like a circus merry-go-round in the dark than a deep-sea lifeform!

Though they don’t actually have any bioluminesence of their own, they are captivating creatures in their own right.

Finally after two years, several false starts and a blank homepage, I’ve dug myself out the time to properly customise and set up Wordpress on my web space. I used WPDesigner’s (aka Small Potato) ‘Peaceful Rush’ theme and then threw myself into the thick of it, tweaking the code and redesigning the entire layout.
