Wow, I'm blogging now!

Hey everyone. So I've finally decided to do this blog thing. I've been a fan of other people's blogs for sometime now. And Kenny, just as the constant pestering finally got you to join fantasy football, it finally got me to blog.

The purpose of this blog is to entertain people that already know me but may want to know a little more about 1) Antarctica in general, and 2) just what the hell it is I'm doing in Antarctica. The title is simly one way of describing Antarctica in terms of location and state of mind for many that make the trip to the ultimate Southland. It's stolen from a song of the same title from an album of the same title by the singer/songwriter Neil Young. I thought it was a good summation of the experience (from one particular perspective) and it also happens to be a simple fact that Neil Young rules.

So back to the blog....

The blog is basically serving as a platform for photos I'll be posting. I've been experimenting with blogger supplied software "Hello" which allows for you to post photos (I've already included a few). I'm not sure how much I'll end up using it. My other tactic may be just to post the Shutterfly URL where all you fine, fine bloggers can go and look at the pictures there. I hope to find the motivation and inspiration to write some short descriptions of the photos in the hopes of describing my Antarctic experience here at McMurdo Base.

So that's it for now. Oddly enough, I've got to get to the bowling alley and get ready for the latest round of a bowling tournament. Probably not what you would expect from the rugged frontier of Antarctica......
