My long-time friend, Darksyde, published a Sunday Science piece endorsing me and another candidate (neither one of us is in first place) for the Quark Expeditions Antarctica trip. In this entry, Darksyde points out;
Quark has left the decision on which blogger to send to the blogosphere. This community has the power to play a key role in choosing who goes and it happens that two registered Kossacks are among a field of great candidates competing for the prize. Both hold a PhD in biology, each is a veteran blogger who has dedicated a huge portion of their life to the pursuit of science, and have spent untold thousands of man-hours defending science from ideological opportunists and culture warriors. Both have been actively campaigning for the contest and each has written a diary about it in hope of earning your vote.
[some words elided for brevity]
Someone is going to win this contest and see all this and more. Just ask Kossack Dogdad who's been to the region: they'll have a computer, internet access, video gear, and a proven knack for writing. Given the vast range of sights and sounds to draw from, what would you like to see come out of this trip for the blogosphere?
