Swimming with Dolphins

Ein paar Fischer haben vor Santa Cruz Tunfisch geangelt und mit einer GoPro-Unterwasser-Kamera rumgespielt, als ein Schwarm Delphine auftauchte. Also haben sie die Kamera an die Angel gebunden und ins Wasser geschmissen. Sweet!
Also: Dog swims with dolphins.
William Gibsons Junkie-Cyberspace-Dolphin-Tank in Lego
Cole Blaq hat den Cyberspace-Tank das heroinabhängigen Junkie-Delphins Jones aus William Gibsons „Johnny Mnemonic“ in Lego gebaut. Awesome3!
Inspired by Gibson’s Mnemonic featuring Jones in his tank and Jones’ cyberspace ego riding the crystal edges of the matrix.
This whole apperatus might also be a spaceship of the dolphins if they take over evolutions next phase. Travelling time and space and folding the universe just like the space Navigators of the Imperial Guild.

Amputee Dolphin-Tattoo
Ich hatte hier mal ein Hai-Tattoo auf von einem Hai-Angriff verursachten Armstumpf und gehe jetzt mal nicht davon aus, dass dem Herrn hier der Arm von einem Delphin abgebissen wurde. So Long, and Thanks for All the Arms. (via reddit)
Die Decodierung der Delfin-Sprache
Wissenschaftler arbeiten tatsächlich daran, die Sprache der Delfine zu decodieren, sind da einige Schritte weitergekommen und haben festgestellt, das die Tiere für gleiche Objekte dieselben Geräusche von sich geben. Jetzt wollen sie in ersten Experimenten mit den Delfinen „reden“. Ich hoffe sehr, dass die uns kein „Macht’s gut und danke für den Fisch“ antworten, bevor sie die Erde verlassen, um deren Zerstörung durch die Vogonen aus dem Weg zu gehen. Delfin-Speak… das Jahr fängt ja schonmal gut an.
Kassewitz has planned a series of experiments to record the sounds of dolphins targeting a range of objects. Speaking from Key Largo, Florida, he said, “Dolphins are able to emit complex sounds far above the human range of hearing. Recent advances in high frequency recording techniques have made it possible for us to capture more detail in dolphin sounds than ever before. By recording dolphins as they echolocate on various objects, and also as they communicate with other dolphins about those objects, we will build a library of dolphin sounds, verifying that the same sound is always repeated for the same object. The CymaScope will be used to image the sounds so that each CymaGlyph will represent a dolphin ‘picture word’. Our ultimate aim is to speak to dolphins with a basic vocabulary of dolphin sounds and to understand their responses. This is uncharted territory but it looks very promising.”

Dolphin Submarine/Boat Thing Could Be Fun
The Innerspace Dolphin and Seabreacher and water vessels designed to look and behave like actual dolphins. They’re powered by a little engine in the back and you can do all sorts of fun stuff like barrel rolls, jumps, dives and drownings.
NZ dolphin rescues beached whales
The pygmy sperm whales had repeatedly beached, and both they and the humans were tired and set to give up, he said.
But then the dolphin appeared, communicated with the whales, and led them to safety.
The bottlenose dolphin, called Moko by local residents, is well known for playing with swimmers off Mahia beach on the east coast of the North Island.
