Setting Up Shop: Day -4

Hello all

My name is Shane Irvin. I am a graduate student at Mississippi State University studying water quality parameters and GIS technologies. As much as I want to go on talking about my super exciting graduate project, well I just won't. One, because I actually want you to keep reading and two, because I want to introduce you to my "Australia Blog".

Now forewarning or as the credit card companies say, tiny type. I am not a typical blogger, while I will be adamant on checking spelling I may just mess up a few words hear and there (Gotcha). If you see a spelling mistake I'm deeply sorry. If you see a grammar mistake, well just be kind and remember that I am an engineer. Me good with crunching numbers, Me no good with writing said numbers.

Back on topic! To further elaborate, I am an National Science Foundation (NSF) Fellow with the GK-12 program at Mississippi State (http://gk12.msstate.edu/). These guys like me enough to let me explore my research on another continent. Pretty cool. I will be working with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with Dr. Arko Lucieer, at the University of Tasmania (http://www.lucieer.net/); excellent research that I can't wait to be involved with.

Tonight, I am just setting up shop. Trying to get this ready to be written on everyday. Two reason for this. I'm required and because honestly I'd be dumb if I didn't keep up with my day to day adventures in the land down under. Please feel free to check in for more updates and as always recommend what you want to hear about.

With kindest regards,

Shane
