Click thumbnail for full-size image. The RSA's David Calkins shares this snapshot of Santarchy mayhem afoot on the ice continent (left), and says:

"Santacon comes to Antarctica! Yeah! There will be a 36-Santa rampage tomorrow and Thursday. I know... Because me 'n' Rob (who founded Santarchy) bought those 36 suits and shipped 'em to my friend Allie, who works at McMurdo (bigdeadplace.com!)."

Somewhere in Antarctica, a woman in a Santa suit is blogging. Alli, aka Sandwichgirl, e-mails BoingBoing with this update on holiday preparations and the spread of Santarchy down south. And by "down south," I mean way, way, way down south. Click thumbnails for larger images.

if there is a god or santa, i must have done something to piss them off in the dish line cause santawich got no love from the health fairy. a week and a half ago, i was told i have a stomach virus. after a very humbling 4 days, a cough that bruised my ribs, a fever of 102, and a vicious lung infection kicked my ass the one week i have been looking forward to since before i came to antarctica.

i have been trapped in my little crap dorm watching no less than 15 movies, wishing, for once, i could be at work. i wanted to be making cookies. i wanted to be slacking off in the name of christmas. i wanted to be taking advantage of all our volunteers. feck. so i stayed in bed the past 4 days. hacking, breathing, sweating, crapping. did i mention the 15 movies i watched? maybe it was more.

today was the first day i emerged since saturday night. i asked medical if icould borrow a wheelchair to make a grand appearance into the galley but they said they needed it for 'real emergencies'. then i asked the firefighters if they could carry me in, but most the firefighters i know were off base on some call. so, i trudged in on my own, clad in santa. it was hilarious, watching santas collect their food from the hot lines, then along table full of santas, eating together in peace and harmony.

after i watched everyone eat (i still have zero appetite), i hung around to watch the community file in and react. it was amusing, but i had to do something less stimulating or perhaps i would die. there were lots of people taking pictures and video. i promise i will report within the next few days. here's a few things. i'm going back to the galley now to see how things are progressing. tonight i want to go out for a little while to get some shots around town. thank you for everything. the galley staff thanks you! -- santawich

(Thanks, David)

The Republicans announced their convention keynote speaker this morning. It's ... a Democrat. Sort of. It's Bush supporter Zell Miller, known not so affectionately by many Democrats as Zig Zag Zell for his vacillations between points left and right -- and by John Kerry's campaign for criticizing his Senate colleague after not long ago calling Kerry one of America's "authentic heroes." From the sound of RNC chairman Ed Gillespie's announcement of the keynote today, the GOP will attempt to portray Miller's appearance at the Garden as proof of Bush's Big Tent.

NASA Keeps Their Spirit Up

NASA Keeps Their Spirit Up 08/13/2004 10:55 AM
Spirit, one of two NASA robots currently exploring Mars has exceeded its life span and is showing signs of wear, but it's still running and still sending back new photos. A new Nature article describes the aging rover's biggest problems: the batteries are running low due to weak winter sunlight and the gearbox on right front wheel has developed a fault. NASA engineers have instructured the rover to drive backwards, which reduces the excessive current being drawn by the front wheel. The weak light on Mars now allows only enough battery power for an hour or two of activity each day. Mars and Earth will be out of communications for a week around September 10 and the current plan is to have Spirit hibernate all week while it's batteries recharge. Despite the problems Spirit has traveled over 3 kilometers from its landing site and is now halfway up the 200 meter-high Columbia Hills.

Reinventing NASA 01/09/2004 09:57 PM
To the moon, Alice! (And then, on to Mars) Time will tell whether this declaration will lead to an actual rebirth of NASA and realignment of goals for the agency. But I for one am absolutely thrilled that Bush is planning to give NASA a long-overdue new mission and goal. Avoiding the obvious pro/con debate of doing this (or the cost), I think it's absolutely vital to the national psyche for the United States to have a long-range goal that it can focus positive energy upon. This could be the first real "Challenge to the Union" that I think should become an annual event to replace the State of the Union.

NASA to consolidate all their sites into the nasa.gov portal The argument for change is that users will be served better by a single website because the agency's various sites vary in quality and content. But scientists and fans at NASAWatch say consolidation into a single NASA portal - which is more suited as collection press releases rather than in-depth information - will greatly reduce the amount of public information available from NASA. Is consolidation a good idea or is it just a power grab/manipulation by NASA administrators?

NASA Sets Aside $400,000 For Inventors 03/24/2005 02:47 PM

NASA liked the idea of the X Prize spaceship competition so much that they are using that same idea to help develop a wireless power transmission system and super strong tethers. The contests will be run by the Spaceward Foundation and will start in October of this year.

You can read more about it at MSNBC …  In the most common power-beaming scenario, energy in the form of light or microwaves is transmitted through space from a power source to remote receivers, where photoelectric cells convert the light energy into electricity. NASA has already tested one such system for keeping unmanned air vehicles aloft, and the technology might come in handy for long-duration aerial reconnaissance missions on Mars. The concept also be used for distributing power from, say, a nuclear power station on the moon or Mars to other outposts.  As for the tethers, Sponberg said the same super-strong materials could be adapted to make next-generation spacecraft lighter and more resilient. "You can imagine layers of carbon nanotubes being laid down, much like we do with composites today — and that's what we would take away," he said.
