Official announcement
However, I'm still very active on Twitter and have an infrequent email list to send family and friends links to pictures and video that I've taken. If you want to be on the email list and aren't already on it, comment and let me know.
The big announcement is that Katy, Jonathan, and I will be in New York this summer. I will arrive July 10th, Katy will arrive July 17th because of work, and Jonathan will arrive on July 20th after traveling with his grandmother to a bunch of different universities. I'll be in NY until August 10, Katy until August 7th and Jonathan until August 2.
I doubt there are many people that read this that didn't already know we are coming back. Tickets are booked, it's happening! The Hong Kong Petrashunes are preparing for Redford fiddler's meets, Chazy Lake, water park, and all the rest!
See everyone in two months!!
...Also have to add that I'm finally bringing my OME back Hong Kong, such a shame it's been sitting in the basement for the last two years...

Two of my latest recordings
Thursday, March 3, 2011
Captains log 3-320-11:
I emerged once to greet the cleaning droid and again briefly to settle business with the water provision council.
In an attempt to snap out of the coma I am falling in to, I rehydrated a yellow spice chicken for the others and I during evening meal.
Feeling ill, I attempted a liquid submersion. However, rebels have disrupted the pure liquids supply chain and I was unable to complete the process.
Eating the new bird brought satisfaction, albeit slight as I was unable to concentrate on flavors during this period. I was informed that the pure liquid lines had been restored over evening meal and the radiation collector had successfully imbued energy in the liquid. I excused myself from the others and attempted to cleanse the intergalactic hitchhiker within me.
I returned to my pod where I shall soon fall in to hypersleep in hopes that during the next rotation I will be able to emerge victorious.
To be continued.....
Or will it???

Droppin' The Ball On Blog Posts
It looks like I'm still breathing over here in the ol' HK. "I've been more active on Twitter lately," he says to himself.

What do Cuban cigars and these have in common?
Maybe it's because I'm American but I really want to shove this entire chocolate egg into my mouth |
Oh wow, good thing i didn't, there's some plastic yellow thing inside it |
Heh, I would have looked like quite the fool if I had to pick this out of my stomach or my trachea |
Must resist urge to devour entire egg |

Nepal Day 14
I also changed the settings of the blog front page to only load 3 posts, it was loading 7 posts before. I thought that might be a little too much with all the pictures I've been posting lately.

A Little Change
I've been thinking about online privacy having a facebook, twitter, and a blog with my real name it made me pause. I think I will try to post only DrBhk blog related stuff with the @DrBhk and have it show up on the front page here.
@NOLScgp will be protected personal tweets that the general public can't see. If you really want to see them (whomever you are) just make a twitter account and follow me and I will (probably) approve you :)
This is just a test, if it doesn't work I'll change it back

How to upload photos to Picasa
1) Go to www.picasa.google.com
2) Click on the "picasa web albums" link, you don't have to download the program unless you really want to, it does make things easier though
3)It will want you to make an account or something, just click create and continue
4) Next it may want to try to have you launch the Picasa Desktop application that you don't have, just cancel out of that.
5) Click on the "Upload"
6) Then it will ask you to Create a New Album, just fill in the information that you want to and hit continue
7) Then it will bring you to a place where you can choose up to 5 files to upload. If you have more than that, the desktop application is probably better, but that's a different post all together. I'll put in something at the end about it.
8) You then browse to your camera or a folder that has your pictures in it, select one and then click "start upload"
9) Wait a few minutes for it to finish
Now when you go to make a post in blogger, the little "insert image" box at the top of the Post Editor has a "Picasa Web Albums" option and you just go there and select all the photos you want it it puts them right in.
A basic rundown of Picasa Desktop
Download and install it, sign in (the same login as your Gmail account), select the import button at the top while your camera is plugged in to the USB, import your photos and then select the little slider that says "sync to web" then the confirmation box and your done. Then go to Step 9 and make your post
Comment or email with any questions!
