  4. My first edited photo from Antarctica. A really special moment on a really special afternoon. Hope this looks as good on other people&#39;s screens as it does on the netbook. We only saw one leopard seal on the trip and this guy was nice enough to sit around and pose for us. I guess when you&#39;re an apex predator you can make time for a photo op.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joesshoggothshack.blogspot.com/feeds/2148487575932855808/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7294011&amp;postID=2148487575932855808' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7294011/posts/default/2148487575932855808'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7294011/posts/default/2148487575932855808'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joesshoggothshack.blogspot.com/2011/02/leopard-seal-at-paradise-harbor.html' title='Leopard Seal At Paradise Harbor'/><author><name>Chris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01507251957225895433</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4109/5449917744_498561eda3_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294011.post-2248783508453181286</id><published>2011-01-27T19:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-27T19:27:58.921-08:00</updated><title type='text'>On the Road</title><content type='html'>Taking a trip for a few weeks down to South America and Antarctica.

What I&#39;ve Been Up To</title><content type='html'>Hi blog, long time no see. So, I did eventually get out of the hospital. I was well enough that I could lie in bed at home for free, although it took a while for my lipase counts to come down. Funnily enough, I had a trip to Montana planned for the first week of May, so I asked my doctor if it&#39;d be all right if I went and had gall bladder removal surgery after that. She was ok with it, so I went to Montana. I have a few pictures &lt;a href=http://www.flickr.com/photos/12308893@N07/sets/72157624085174896/&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, but as usual I am behind in processing. Fantastic trip with great friends! Three days after I got back, I went in for surgery, which went splendidly. Recovery went pretty well also. I think all the love and support from my wife and friends helped smooth things along.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That would bring us to the beginning of summer. I took Noelle to &lt;a href=http://www.flickr.com/photos/12308893@N07/sets/72157624097180369/&gt;Vegas&lt;/a&gt; for a quick trip to see the Criss Angel Cirque du Soleil show (yes, that&#39;s cognitive dissonance you&#39;re feeling, yes it&#39;s normal) as an anniversary present.  Went to WWDC to hang out with the Apple kids. Mostly iPhone stuff, but that&#39;s cool. Flew down to the OC to see a composition lecture by the great &lt;a href=http://www.artwolfe.com/&gt;Art Wolfe&lt;/a&gt;. At the end of June we flew up to PDX to see our friend Jesse get married. We also hung out with some other friends up there while we were in town. Some pix of that &lt;a href=http://www.flickr.com/photos/12308893@N07/sets/72157624475052076/&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, about half done with that weekend&#39;s photos. The next week both Noelle&#39;s and my company had a mandatory shutdown for July 4th week, so we flew to Maine for a few days so we could visit with family and chill. Perfect timing, too! They had a heat wave while were there and we got to enjoy upper 80s lower 90s with lots of humidity. Still, it was nice to get home. Went boating out on China Lake, visited with relatives I haven&#39;t seen in a while, and went up to Bar Harbor for a day. Last week was the annual pilgrimage to Comic-Con San Diego, which was great fun, but completely exhausting (zillions of pictures &lt;a href=http://www.flickr.com/photos/12308893@N07/sets/72157624554462570/&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;). We got the best hotel ever for that con, the Hilton Gaslamp, right across the street from the convention center. I am a little sad, because I don&#39;t think I will ever get a hotel that good again for SDCC. Anyway, there were lots of cool panels and cosplay and other entertainments, including &lt;a href=http://w00tstock.net/&gt;w00tstock 2.4&lt;/a&gt;. Good times, for  nerds. That brings us up to the present. It&#39;s sort of tiring to look at what&#39;s been going on the past three months, but I guess it&#39;s been sort of tiring living it too. I need a break I think.  :-)  The good news is I don&#39;t think I&#39;m traveling anywhere until September, so I get some down time now, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, that&#39;s kind of a capsule summary of what I&#39;ve been up to these past few months. I&#39;ll try and be better about posting in the future.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joesshoggothshack.blogspot.com/feeds/8097341162954488738/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7294011&amp;postID=8097341162954488738' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7294011/posts/default/8097341162954488738'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7294011/posts/default/8097341162954488738'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joesshoggothshack.blogspot.com/2010/07/is-this-thing-on-what-ive-been-up-to.html' title='Is This Thing On?

I&#39;ve been caught up with the twitter experience (I&#39;m TheChrisPaduan on Twitter). Have a bunch of things that have happened since the last post, but I&#39;ll cut to the most recent event. Last Thursday I was admitted to the ER with what turned out to be pancreatitus, which an inflammation of the pancreas caused by (in my case) gall stones or shards of gall stones obstructing the pancreas&#39; entrance into the bile duct (shared by the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas, which empties into the intestine). My gall bladder is filled with gall stones and the best way to prevent a further outbreak of pancreatitus is to remove the gall bladder. All well and good, but they don&#39;t want to to do that until the pancreatitus setttles down. Unfortunately, the pancreatic lipase count (which correlates with the infection) has been going the wrong way. So, my surgery was scheduled for Monday, then Wednesday and has currently been pushed back to Thursday. If all goes well, I can leave Friday. I finally got to eat food today, which was nice. I&#39;ve been on a IV since Thursday with no food during that time (I only got glucose added to the IV on Monday). Things move very slowly in the hospital and I can&#39;t wait to get out. My friends have been a great comfort, visiting me frequently. Noelle is holding together as well as can be expected. She wants me home badly as well. Anyway, slowly getting better, hope to be home RSN.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joesshoggothshack.blogspot.com/feeds/1605820821293828553/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7294011&amp;postID=1605820821293828553' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7294011/posts/default/1605820821293828553'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7294011/posts/default/1605820821293828553'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joesshoggothshack.blogspot.com/2010/04/news-of-times.html' title='News of the Times'/><author><name>Chris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01507251957225895433</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294011.post-1882592025703630708</id><published>2010-02-12T00:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-12T01:03:49.931-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="photography"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="transformers"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="vacation"/><title type='text'>Death Valley Trip Highlights</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;350&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?source=s_q&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;geocode=&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;hq=badwater+basin&amp;amp;hnear=Death+Valley,+CA&amp;amp;split=1&amp;amp;msa=0&amp;amp;msid=106728726836512959261.00047f627dac2769e608a&amp;amp;ll=36.536123,-116.658325&amp;amp;spn=2.572991,4.663696&amp;amp;output=embed&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;View &lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?source=embed&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;geocode=&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;hq=badwater+basin&amp;amp;hnear=Death+Valley,+CA&amp;amp;split=1&amp;amp;msa=0&amp;amp;msid=106728726836512959261.00047f627dac2769e608a&amp;amp;ll=36.536123,-116.658325&amp;amp;spn=2.572991,4.663696&quot; style=&quot;color:#0000FF;text-align:left&quot;&gt;Death Valley Trip&lt;/a&gt; in a larger map&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&#39;s a little map I&#39;ve cooked up of places that could be cool to see in Death Valley this weekend.

I was a little concerned as the reviews I&#39;d seen were generally of the flavor: &quot;The movie is pretty, but the story doesn&#39;t make much sense.&quot; Well, except for a bit of confusion on my part towards the end, I found the story pretty straightforward. It revolves around the eponymous Dr. Parnassus who at one point was a holy man of an esoteric religion, but had been granted life eternal as the result of winning a bet with Mr. Nick (aka the devil, as well played by Tom Waites). However, as the result of losing another bet with Mr. Nick, Doctor Parnassus is on the verge of some, well, serious consequences. The doctor travels around London in a completely implausible vehicle with a small band of performers, trying to get the good audience to pass through a magic mirror that transports them to a personalized world created from their imaginations and desires. I was afraid this movie would frustrate me like Tidelands (and to a certain extent The Brothers Grimm) did, especially after reading some of the reviews. To my pleasant surprise I enjoyed this movie probably as much as some of Gilliam&#39;s best work, a la Time Bandits or Brazil. With computer animation technology, I think Gilliam finally has the tools to show the world the crazy ideas in his head in a surreal, yet realistic way. If you&#39;re a Terry Gilliam fan, you should definitely check this movie out and even if you are unfamiliar with his work I still think this is a great movie.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://joesshoggothshack.blogspot.com/feeds/8287164519347789753/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7294011&amp;postID=8287164519347789753' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7294011/posts/default/8287164519347789753'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7294011/posts/default/8287164519347789753'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://joesshoggothshack.blogspot.com/2010/01/imaginarium-of-doctor-parnassus.html' title='The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'/><author><name>Chris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01507251957225895433</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294011.post-7248411003110377798</id><published>2010-01-10T02:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-10T03:12:15.941-08:00</updated><title type='text'>That&#39;s Going to Hurt Tomorrow</title><content type='html'>Just got back from hanging out with the Rodenborns after ice skating after Noelle&#39;s Benihanna birthday dinner.

Well, the in-laws were nice enough to give me a fair chunk of change in Best Buy gift certificates for Christmas, so today while at Best Buy getting batteries for the Wii, I pulled the trigger on the new Rickenbacker replica. Loving it! Even managed to talk Noelle into using  the other controller for some Beatles Rock Band and she seems to be taking to this rock band thing.
