For a while this will be focused on my trips to the South Pole to work on ARA and IceCube experiments as a physicist and instrumentation scientist from the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center at the University of Wisconsin.

This web journal is held in lieu of a writing journal and continues my UMN, MySpace, and Facebook blogs.
