the glacier geek and his vaimo: February 2009

http://ojiving.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

The glacier geek and his vaimo. Ordinary life in the far north is not always ordinary. even for a couple of geeks. Moose on the loose. I found this e-mail rather amusing:. SUBJECT: Moose on campus. This is a reminder that moose living near the University of Alaska Fairbanks may pass through campus. Members of the campus community should use common sense if they come in contact with wildlife and be aware that wildlife could be present, especially in the wooded areas of campus.

the glacier geek and his vaimo: April 2009

http://ojiving.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

The glacier geek and his vaimo. Ordinary life in the far north is not always ordinary. even for a couple of geeks. The reason for the current sleep deprivation. Join me on Friday 5/1 to see this and other paintings at Well st. Art Company. Note to self: do not agree to have a show opening a week before semester ends ever again. A vague promise for out-of-towners: at some point some of the paintings will find their way to my website. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The reason for the current sleep deprivation.

the glacier geek and his vaimo: January 2009

http://ojiving.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

The glacier geek and his vaimo. Ordinary life in the far north is not always ordinary. even for a couple of geeks. Neither of us had been there before, and I'm not sure if we'll be going back anytime soon, but we definitely enjoyed it. After reaching the top we drove to Phoenix, slept through New Year's Eve celebrations, woke up early the next morning, and flew back to Fairbanks. We were greeted with nearly two weeks of -40 C (-40 F). Views of the south rim:. Inari jumping into the abyss:. Arizona, part 3.

the glacier geek and his vaimo: Back(s) to Prindle

http://ojiving.blogspot.com/2009/06/backs-to-prindle.html

The glacier geek and his vaimo. Ordinary life in the far north is not always ordinary. even for a couple of geeks. A few weeks back Inari and I went hiking near Mt. Prindle with a couple of friends. I had previously visited Mt. Prindle in 2007. It was nice to go back, and I was happy that Inari came - I'd been wanting her to see the place since my first visit. Its a beautiful place that feels very arctic, as though it were hundreds of miles north of Fairbanks, but really, its just about an hour by car.

The glacier geek and his vaimo. Ordinary life in the far north is not always ordinary. even for a couple of geeks. If you haven't already seen the videos of Bizkit. The sleepwalking dog, then you should. Pretty darn hilarious. Aside: Why is it that the day after I wash the windows of our cabin, some poor little bird commits suicide by flying straight into one of the windows? It was really cool to see Columbia again (I was there for a couple of hours in 2004). It's a beautiful place, but it's also pre...

the glacier geek and his vaimo: March 2010

http://ojiving.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

The glacier geek and his vaimo. Ordinary life in the far north is not always ordinary. even for a couple of geeks. Over "spring break" (not really spring.) Inari and I joined some friends on a 4-day ski trip through the White Mountains. The Whites are about 50-100 miles north of Fairbanks; I've visited them several times before, but mostly in summer ( here. And never made it so far from the road. This time we got to see some terrain that I'd been wanting to see for several years. View from Windy Gap:.

the glacier geek and his vaimo: Going solo (skiing)

http://ojiving.blogspot.com/2007/03/going-solo-skiing.html

The glacier geek and his vaimo. Ordinary life in the far north is not always ordinary. even for a couple of geeks. I just completed my first solo winter ski expedition, which turned out to be a somewhat crazy adventure. In a way it was one of the most remote trips that I've done, but it was also one of the cheapest and closest to home. Should I take a trail to a different village and hitchhike home? So, why did I do this trip? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Candid Engineer in Academia.

The glacier geek and his vaimo. Ordinary life in the far north is not always ordinary. even for a couple of geeks. I've just received word that one of my glacier calving videos (see 19 June 2007. Update: The clip was aired on 1 August 2007, and can be found online. Mt Prindle, a Carhartt wedding, and canoeing. Yikes, I can't believe its already been a couple of weeks since my last post. There are so many things going on these days its hard to keep up. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The glacier geek and his vaimo. Ordinary life in the far north is not always ordinary. even for a couple of geeks. Lately, life has been in a rut. A pleasant rut, but a rut nevertheless. Jason has been busy with a manuscript, a funding proposal (or was it two? I won't promise that we'll be any better next year. I'll be teaching three classes, and Jason is graduating (in theory, he should have plenty of time after March. Right? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Candid Engineer in Academia.
