A blog from a science nut, computer geek, sometimes philosopher, and a human. Based out of Denver, with a love of Antarctica, I seem to wander the world so who knows where I'll be in 6 months.
And I was there with an HD video camera on top of ob hill shooting it! To bad it launched at 5am this morning, especially considering we thought it was going to up at 6pm, then 10pm, then 12pm-1am, then… Oy! Ralph and I, oh wait, Ralph is one of 2 Raytheon employees who’s supposed … Read more
So I put the ozone podcast up earlier, but I have a new addition to it. There’s a 116mb video of the Ozone Lecture Dr Mercer made about the annual ozone hole over the Antarctic, it should make more sense with the slides and videos. http://www.wonderfullyrich.net/Photos/theice/60southvideos.html#Ozone Rich
According to the donut of misery I’ve been here for 10 week which really doesn’t seem that long. Another stat that you can see is that I’m supposed to be here for another 10 weeks or so, and I’ll be that’s going to fly by. This though isn’t the reason I’m mention it, rather I … Read more
The longer I’m here the more about this place I want to learn. I was at Hut 10 for the first time a few weeks ago and ran into some interesting thoughts. (Hut 10 is like a cabin that can be signed up for and used for work or personal parties, or just some time … Read more

We had a minor storm walk through and change this place from being a warm mud pit to being something that you’d think Christmas should look like, especially with the Christmas lights and decorations going up everywhere. Blowing snow turned the outlying areas into Condition 2 for a while, but … Read more
I spent yesterday being sick to the stomach and therefore sleeping, laying around, drinking ginger tea, and generally taking it easy. I do feel better today, I’ve managed to eat some ramen yesterday as well as bits of leftover turkey from thanksgiving. I’ll be taking it easy and hopefully it’ll be better today. Needless to … Read more
I just thought you all might like to know that I am wacky enough to walk out wearing my volleyball shorts and tevas. Bill your not crazy! On a warm day of +27 degree ambient temperature it’s warm and beautiful out so I wanted to set foot outside after thanksgiving doing something very different. Later … Read more
First off, the weather today is a perfect example of why the wind makes all the difference. It’s an ambient +19F but we have a 15-25 Knot wind that’s been blowing through, it’s a cold -9F outside with cloudy skies. We are definitely wearing big red today. I’ve been working on this question of “What … Read more
