2000 Magic: the Gathering cards were just delivered to me. Just in time for the weekend. Christy Jedigoddess and I are about to geek out.

http://left-news.com/ received nearly 500 page views yesterday. It’s not a lot, but for only two days old I’m pretty proud :)

Another air pollution watch. Wow, didn’t see that one coming…

Mulling the idea of moving to Orlando. Hmmm.

“I am not frightened of my beliefs. If there is a God who is threatening me with damnation because I don’t believe in Him, so be it. I’ve lived my life in conscience, and I will suffer damnation willingly in conscience against a tyrannical God who would damn me because, on the basis of the intelligence He gave me, I have come to a conclusion doubting His existence.”

So http://left-news.com/ is off and running. Setting up a short URL system for it using http://leftne.ws/ :) Yay!

Began working on http://left-news.com/ today. Is the all-caps links too much? How’s it look?

Interesting fact: I took 2878 pictures while on vacation.

No one taught me their secret to independent wealth last night. Thus I’m at work.

Will someone teach me the secret to being independently wealthy tonight? I don’t want my vacation to end.

Tomorrow is the day. http://left-news.com/

Just got home. Damn it all it’s 100 degrees and … why do I not remember it being this bright outside here? It’s like I’m closer to the sun or something… …

Christy Jedigoddess drove over the Mackinac Bridge. I’m scared.

Vacation has officially ended. 22 hour ride home then back to reality.

I plan to begin working on Left News on July 5th. http://left-news.com/ Even if I’m the only one to view it, it’ll be an outlet for myself.

I can feel my vacation coming to an end.

Sorry Obama, I don’t believe civil liberties is up to debate.

Now in Indiana!

We just survived a drive through South Chicago

After 730 miles (11:30 hours of driving) I needed some sleep. 4 hours and now I’m good to go.

Now in Illinois.

About to be in Joplin, MO

Trip, begin!!!!

Hell yeah. Today is the first I’ve weighed 250 lbs exactly (well 250.2) since my trip to Germany in 2003. Dropping that weight like a bad habit.

Still waiting on Christy Jedigoddess… psha, women.

RT @washingtonpost Income inequality in the U.S. has has reached levels not seen since the Great Depression http://wapo.st/lzdALT

Be leaving for Michigan in under 72-hours. Long road trip ahead.

Watching Christy Jedigoddess play L.A. Noire. I’m having a hard time not making a women driver joke.

Just reserved L.A. Noire for the PlayStation 3 with RedBox. Yay!

I’m in the midst of creating a left wing news aggregate. Think Drudge Report for lefties. :)

Thats right, that was my name at the end of Wednesday’s episode of Citizen Radio.

Lunar Eclipse should be at totality now.

Watch the lunar eclipse live as it happens on YouTube at http://doug.vg/umr

Here I sit all broken hearted; had to shit but only farted.

It’s 102 degrees outside. Bad idea to wear my Rage Against the Machine shirt. I feel like I’m roasting in an oven.

It’s about time a team in the metroplex brings home a championship.

I’m down to 253 lbs. A drop of 25 lbs in the past two months.

Watching last week’s Collingwood vs St. Kilda match.

Cell Phone on 4G Signal —> Tethered to my Laptop —> Ethernet Cable running to my Xbox 360 —> Xbox 360 connected to LIVE.

Hell yeah!

Sometimes the internet comes together and redeems itself. Sister of cancer patient raises 2330% of what she was asking. http://doug.vg/uch

I just updated my Facebook status from the toilet. You’re welcome, internet!

Man threatened with foreclosure if he doesn’t pay his mortgage bill of $0.00 … … http://doug.vg/ucb

It’s so hard to save money…

So today we learn what the new Nintendo system is all about. Undue hype or something that will blow us away?

Sony announced a 3D television that also displays two images at once, depending on your angle. No more local co-op split screen.

I really like the more subtle PlayStation presentation.

Vacation time approved. I’ll be off work from Jun 22 to July 5.

Star Wars Kinect. On-rails lightsaber simulator. Meh

!? Minecraft on Xbox 360? I didn’t see that one coming…

Fable: The Journey. An on-rails Kinect game? Meh.

Oops. The Xbox’s website accidentally lets loose a few (not so well kept) secrets. Halo 1 remake and Halo 4 coming.

Yup, still hurting. Hurting bad.

I hurt myself pretty badly yesterday. My back doesn’t want to hold up my weight at the moment. sigh

Jack Kevorkian, dead at 83. Hero, in my book.

Uploading the new Roguish Dactyls podcast :)

Well THIS has been a stressful day.

Our little podcast has a Twitter account ( http://twitter.com/RoguishDactyls ) and a Facebook page ( http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Roguish-Dactyls/123583754390078 )

I feel all official now.

Record high temperature today.

Oh no! I’ve become one of THOSE people.

I actually said we should go to Starbucks this morning. I’ve never done that before. I… I have failed.

How did I forget to add the intro ditty to our podcast!? I fail as a director.

What the fuck? - Seismologists Tried for Manslaughter for Not Predicting Earthquake - http://doug.vg/ug0

I wonder what I should be doing with my life, job wise. I want to be doing something much more fulfilling.

Tornado on the ground in southeast Dallas with lots of debris.

Tornado warning remains for Dallas County until 9:45pm.

Unable to continue taking pictures. Insane driving rain.

Tornado touched down in Irving.

I can hear the storm sirens going off around me. Let the fun begin, eh?

RT @wfaaweather: if you live in northern tarrant and dallas counties and southern denton and collin counties stay alert!

Wind is really starting to pick up. Need to get home to my camera fast! Though I think this storm is going to pass just to the north.

I’m having a hard time wanting to leave work. I want to continue watching this tornado in Oklahoma.

My previous link was going to the wrong place. It has been fixed. http://doug.vg/ugf Oklahoma tornado, live via local CBS affiliate.

Golf ball sized hail in Jacksboro, TX

I’ll be out taking pictures of any storm that swings by this evening.

In the process of uploading 102 photos from today’s Dallas Comic Con.

Well damn… here I am dressed for the occasion and Jesus is a no-show AGAIN!

Wow, so I woke up feeling horrible. I can’t tell if it’s severe seasonal allergies or something else.

Quote from “Edward Said”, in the Preface to Orientalism:

Worked over the weekend and was burnt to a crisp. This is what happens when you expose pasty computer geek skin to the sun.

Facebook, you’re acting kind of goofy. Are you feeling sick? A little under the weather?

If you get a call or text message from me today and it seems a little strange, it wasn’t me. Christy’s mom has my cellphone and she doesn’t know how to use it.

Guess who just got a press pass to see a pre-release screening of the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Christy Jedigoddess and I. Yay.

Just had a mother’s day all you can eat vegan Chinese buffet. Yum.

So the highlight of April was having part of my letter read on Citizen Radio. Good stuff.

I’m digging the new Beastie Boys’ album. My first play through, I have to say “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win” is my favorite song.

I’m teaching myself the Simplified Dvorak keyboard layout. I’m back to typing in a hunt and peck manner.

The high temperature on May 2 at Waco Regional Airport was 56 degrees. This is the lowest high temperature ever on this date. The previous record was 62 degrees… set in 1966 and 1911.

Just had a Windows computer that completely lost .exe associations. Seems like a semi-common problem with malware but surprisingly the first time I’ve ever come across it.

[Sega Genesis 4:15] I will live the rest of my days as a mountain dwarf.

**From the Wholy Bible: The King Tuts Version ** Sega Genesis 2:8-10

[8] God then placed an Olive Garden restaurant in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed. [9] On the menu God did put many delicious salads and appetizers. [10] In the middle of the Olive Garden of Eden was the buffet of life and the soda fountain of good and evil.

After so many days of bad weather it’s nice to see a day with not a single cloud in the sky, mild temperatures, and singing birds.

So guess who got a personal message from George Takei!

I basically changed two tires last night. flex

DFW was very lucky. The warm front didn’t creep as far north as expected… areas just south of Dallas got hit hard however.

Possible tornado crossing I-45 just north of Ennis
