Title: bnewbold on the ice
Url: /antarctica/
SaveAs: /antarctica/index.html


<br />
<p>From October 2007 through the middle of December 2007 I'll be deployed to Antarctica, based out of McMurdo station. After that i'll be on the road across Asia for a little over a month and almostly completely unreachable. I'll be back in Cambridge at MIT by the end of January. I've got some photos <a href="http://bryannewbold.com/photos/9/">here</a>, or for more info about Antarctica see:</p>

<h3>Email</h3>
I can be reached at my usual email addresses. Raytheon tries to spy on every email read on the continent, so if you're trying to send me terrorist plans, anti-Military-Industrial-Complex propaganda, or porn, ask me for a public key.
<h3>Mail</h3>
<p>I can recieve certain kinds of mail and packages at the following APO address. It takes about a month to get there, but doesn't cost any more than sending mail to the Los Angeles, CA region. No agricultural products (including dried fruit), no packing peanuts, etc. For more info see the <a href="http://www.usap.gov/travelAndDeployment/contentHandler.cfm?id=541">USAP participant guide</a>.

<h3>Telephone</h3>
<p>Our project won't have a dedicated phone number, but we will be able to make occasional outgoing VoIP phone calls over satellite.</p>
<h3>Time Zone</h3>
<p>We will be operating on New Zealand time, which is +1300 UTC, +1200 UTC after daylight savings  (9 hours behind east coast untill October 7th, then 7 hours behind).</p>
<h3>Location</h3>
<p>When I got to McMurdo station I tried to take a GPS reading but my handheld GPS froze and stopped working, so your guess is as good as mine.
