Guilty as charged! It’s a been a slow start to the year here at Blogging With Dr P…. I believe I’ve spent too much time over on Facebook, and neglected you all here – my vast hoard internet web spider search engine bots, and the occasional real person that drops by

And it isn’t for the lack of not having anything to blog about – oh no. I think it’s more of a “getting the time” thing. But Facebook, and Twitter, (where I have been experimenting with all these “Automate Your Twitter Account” systems etc), and other distracting things have kept me away from the two things I like the most on the internet – making money, and writing my blog.

The web hosting and domain costs keep rolling in, but the Google Adsense revenue and other affiliate stuff I’m “into” keeps rapidly falling. I think I’m going to write an e-book and sell it through e-Bay and on here. It’s probably going to be about the “Making Money With Twitter” experiments I’ve been doing lately. That should make a few bucks

Incidentally, if you trip over a bag contains large wads of cash – it’s mine – and there’s a “Finders Reward” as well – lucky you!

Today I shook hands with a man who has been to Antarctica, and travels down there each Antarctic summer – Mr Roger Slade. Roger Slade has a website over at Roger Slade Photo where the sells some of the most exquisite images of penguins, ice, the Antarctic region etc: Roger Slade’s Photo Gallery.

I’ve always been interested in the history of South Pole exploration. I’ve collected many books from the survivors of Scott’s expedition, (even getting hold of a 1911 two volume Smith Elder edition of Scott’s Diaries). The whole adventure, heroism and magnificent effort of all the “ice explorers” – Shackleton, Amundsen, Peary etc has always intrigued me.

And I had to shake Roger Slade’s hand as I pointed out to him – “You’re probably the only person in Essex or East Anglia at the moment who has been in Antarctica”. He had an even better statistic which was that if you take all the people who have ever been to the South Pole, (That’s all the known explorers etc etc), or the Antarctic region, and put them all together – they probably would only fill an average size football stadium. That’s amazing, right?

Anyway, please go visit Roger Slade’s website over at Roger Slade Photo. And if you’re interested in taking an adventure cruise to Antarctica, please take a look over at Quark Expeditions.

Oh yes – wrap up warm if you head for Antarctica – the average temperature is -49 degrees Celsius!
