Science in Antarctica

Richard writes "Just to prove that science is cool; Tania, the editor of Nerdling zine has travelled to Antarctica just to publish some interesting reading material on her blog. Apparently there to calibrate a bunch of physics equipment she appears to spend most of her time marvelling at ice bergs and penguins, abseiling around the continent, and giving us explicit details of the everyday ordinary stuff. Advanced technology in an extreme environment, fantastic stuff!"

A Picture Says a Thousand Words

At time like this, isn't it better to have a videolog or photolog?

I'm not very well-travelled, so it's a bit overwhelming for me to imagine "The sun came out for the first time in a few days and turned the smooth ocean into a mirror which reflected the bergs" without linking it to DiCaprio.

And how do I decode "sshhhhhHHHHHH" or "KSHHHXXXXXX" or "CRACK CRUNCH GCKKXX"?

Publish a picture of yellow snow in the antarctic and I'll look at the photolog.

Why I should never go to Antartica

[MagicDude]

I should never go down there, because I would probably torment the penguins. Am I the only one who's curious about what it would be like to run through a flock of penguins to see if it would it be anything like running through a flock of pigeons?

You're a very brave man to admit on Slashdot that you have the urge to torment penguins.

...just another self-obsessed, self-promoting, intellectually challenged blogger.

But... you said that you liked my blog. You said that I was very talented. Was that just to get into my bed?

Yeah when are they going to get to finding Atlantis? I want a cool puddle jumper thingy.

6000 male scientist blogs go un-noticed

[Red Moose]

In other Slashdot news, 6000 other web logs by male scientist reporters continue to be unimportant due to their lack of being female.

Next up: a girl called Kristin installs Linux.......hold off whacking it just yet.

I met my girlfriend through a 'blog, largely because I was open about myself and my interests.

This is some serious industrial-strength irony.
