Sounds like you are living the dream man. I hope you enjoy every minute :)

"On the road" by Jack Kerouac was a savior for me when I moved from FL to California.

Make sure you get the version read by Will Patton, it was a blast.

That bit about working six months and travelling six months out of the year reminded me a lot of this movie.

One of the heavy machinery operators had a degree in philosophy. He was talking about how all the people down there are "part-time workers and full-time travelers". I really enjoyed that thought. I actually applied to a job at McMurdo as an Electronics Tech, but never heard back. I wound up getting into grad school. I'll keep on applying until I get an opportunity to go down there though.

Edit: I actually found the guy's quote:

"I think there's a fair amount of the population here who're full time travelers and part time workers. So, yes those are the professional dreamers, they dream all the time. And I think, through them the great cosmic dreams come into fruition because the universe dreams to our dreams. I think that there is many different ways for the reality to bring itself forward, and dreaming is definitely one of those ways"

Not a question, but I think that has got to be the coolest verification picture I have ever seen.

THANK YOU! I had surgery for a lazy eye (turning in) when I was 9 months old. Therapy didn't help me gain 3D vision and now my eye turns out when I get tired. I can see and read with it, but they've never worked together. I look forward to trying your software when it comes out.
