PESO: Flowers at Scott Base

I grabbed this photo off Facebook. It's not my photo, and probably wasn't taken with a Pentax either. But I found it interesting. The Flowers in Cones tribute I mentioned the other day seems to have made it all the way to Scott Base in Antarctica. I found out that the idea originally came

Wireless tethering simplified (and cheap)

Here's a blog article I wrote on how to use wireless tethering with Pentax cameras. And for fast previewing, use an Automator script to pop them up the images as they're received. http://goo.gl/OeSsd Enjoy! -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net

We've had a very mild winter with very little snow, too. One or two dustings which melted within a day or two. They were calling for your storm to hit here yesterday with a few inches of snow. What we got was above-freezing temps, rain, sleet and lots of wind. No snow. And today was sunny.

This has been a mercifully mild winter for the outoor-dwellers. Still we've had a few nights where the temperature bottomed out near -20C. And when a sleeping bag gets wet, hypothermia can set in at much higher temps. You're right, this guy is above a steam vent, but it must still be a damned

I would hazard a guess that the vast majority of those that sleep outdoors in winter are suffering from a major mental illness, severe addictions or both. There are obviously far fewer outdoor dwellers in the winter than the summer. Shelters can be pretty horrible places, but given the choice
