I’m still around, working a new job and am working on a few personal projects. One of those projects is going to be working on this site more and posting more updates and working through posting my massive backlog of photos from Antarctica and a few small trips since. More to come, I promise. -MattContinue reading “On Small Updates”

On Taking a Break
Long time no post. Started off as just missing a week but then just kept not feeling like taking the time to get a post up so I decided to just take a break from posting for a while and get another one up when I felt up to it. Thanks to the people whoContinue reading “On Taking a Break”
On Camping
Hello everyone, first things first, I finally uploaded pictures!!! Some of them are as recent as this past Sunday!!! I also completely rearranged my photos page. The gallery on there was getting huge and unwieldy and apparently took a long time to load even back up north where there’s good internet (I thought it wasContinue reading “On Camping”
On Chores
One more groundhog week has come and gone. Been pretty uneventful as usual. For Tech Rescue ERT we went over properly belay techniques and for Fire Brigade we did some comms checks with our radios to see if there were any areas where we might run into issues. Aside from that it’s been pretty quiet.Continue reading “On Chores”
On Rest
Okay, I know it’s been two weeks or so since my last post. Last week I wasn’t feeling 100% so I decided I’d hold off on posting and just rest up a bit. Not a ton has happened in the last couple of weeks. Last Friday we had our monthly all-hands ERT drill. So everyContinue reading “On Rest”
On Milestones
Another week has flown by here at Pole and I am, once again, a couple of days late on my posting. This may become the new normal time for me to post as the satellite that we get our first bit of internet for the day from is coming up earlier and earlier (today wasContinue reading “On Milestones”
On a Very Long Dusk
Well this post is a couple of days late so sorry about that. I’m still getting used to the internet being up an hour earlier than it had been so by the time I realized I hadn’t written my post the good satellite was gone. The skies continue to get darker and darker though it’sContinue reading “On a Very Long Dusk”
On the Weirdness of Time
Hello all! I’ve had another good week here at the bottom of the world. Nothing too exciting which, in my opinion, is a good thing down here. One thing I have noticed is that time is a really weird concept down here. Last week feels like it was both only yesterday but also hard toContinue reading “On the Weirdness of Time”
On Darkening Skies
Another successful/quiet week here at Pole. Like the week before there wasn’t a ton going on, though this week we didn’t have to make any preparations for Sunset Dinner. I’m still working on processing my photos, I’ll get them up eventually. Hopefully sooner rather than later. One of my goals that I came down hereContinue reading “On Darkening Skies”
On Sunset and Bad Weather
Well this last week has been a mostly quiet one. We had our second long weekend in order to celebrate the Sunset, unfortunately it has been cloudy most of the time so we may not actually get to watch it dip below the horizon. That didn’t stop us from having the annual Sunset Dinner overContinue reading “On Sunset and Bad Weather”
