Where in the WORLD? Who IS this guy? Living & Working in Antarctica Animals I saw in Antarctica Cool Science in Antarctica See my big-time Intro-Image...

Colophon: (How did he DO that?) Last year I was presented with the unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to Antarctica as part of the support effort for the National Science Foundation, which sponsors a variety of international research projects there. (How could I say "No?") Naturally, my first hundred phone calls in preparation for this adventure were to Apple Computer, Inc. to figure out a way that Apple and the rest of the world could share in the experience. Fortunately, I was able to capture the attention of some very helpful and interested individuals in the Apple Solution Professionals Network program (of which I am a member). By immediately having the vision to realize the scope of the project and seeing a global picture, they helped by securing some very impressive technology, including a PowerBook 540c, and a QuickTake 150 digital camera to record and transmit my experiences, real-time, back to classrooms across the United States. My hardware list included a Macintosh PowerBook 540c, the Apple QuickTake 150 digital camera, a Pinnacle Tahoe 230 MB portable Magneto Optical drive, and forty additional pounds of extra batteries, power supplies, media and cables. (all top of the line stuff...) In addition, the good folks at Kaidan also sent me a WideTake wide angle lens, the QuickTake QuickTimeVR camera mount and an assortment of other interesting and useful attachments. My software tools included Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, QuarkXPress, Claris HyperCard, the Apple Media Tool, the Macintosh OS (of course) and a host of other way-cool utilities.   Tim Meehan McMurdo Base, Ross Island, Antarctica January, 1996 [ Resume ] [ Plans for this data ]
