Large tornado on ground 4 miles northweat of Mabank, TX in southern Kaufman County moving east-northeast at 40 mph.

A Tornado Warning for Ellis county and Navarro county until 4:45.

We are now under a Tornado Watch with the enhanced PDS flag. (Particularly Dangerous Situation)

From the Storm Prediction Center: Supercells are expected to initiate by mid-late afternoon across north/northeast Texas. [Conditions] will be favortable for long-track/damaging tornadoes with discrete and cluster supercells into the late evening/ear nighttime hours. Very large hail and damaging winds will also be likely with the initial supercells.

Another line of thunderstorms coming through… and I’m here at work without my camera :(

This camera was the best Christmas gift ever. Thanks Christy Jedigoddess :)

By this evening storms should sweep farther east and affect areas along and east of the Interstate 35 corridor. Storm effects include heavy rain, frequent lightning, and the possibility of large hail and damaging winds. Isolated tornadoes area also possible.

So, I’ve got my cellphone tethered to a computer that is sharing the connection with a router… feeding the our entire apartment internet goodness. Funny thing: it runs just as fast if not faster than my normal Time Warner cable internet. I’m getting between 500 to 700 KB/s… over my cellphone.

HAPPY ZOMBIE JESUS DAY!

How the hell did I go through life this long without ever hearing about the band Propagandhi.

Guess who just got press passes to the Dallas Comic Con. I’ll give you a hint: me and Christy Jedigoddess

Played Minecraft for more hours than I’d care to admit.

We’re thinking about moving… maybe to Florida… hmm… thoughts?

Not even 10 minutes in the game and already Collingwood is up 26 to 0. My Magpies know how to put the smack down.

Watching Richmond vs Collingwood. (Australian Football)

I’ve got a face made for radio… so I was thinking of doing podcasts. Hmmm.

I was pretty sad last night that the storms were not showing a lot of lightning bolts as they were heading out. I had my camera ready and only got some pretty light up clouds. Oh well, maybe next time. - We had ¼ inch hail last night. I was being pelted pretty good with them. I tied a tarp to the back half of the Benz last night and it stayed on like a champ, 50 MPH+ winds and all.

Ouch. Stood outside and watched the storm come through. Legs got pelted by quarter inch hail.

So…$500 million taken from WIC. Fantastic move you lovely progressive democrats. Stay classy.

At least I got about two hours of sleep.

Can’t sleep. Can’t breath. Even after taking an allergy pill I’m sneezing like… well, someone that sneezes a lot. Been up since 1am. Bleah.

Sounds like we had a couple of EF1 tornadoes just west of Ft. Worth. This is how you know it is officially spring in Texas.

Why the hell is “Tell It to My Heart” by Taylor Dayne stuck in my head? I haven’t heard it in a very long time yet I have it’s chorus looping in my noggin.

I’m off to the Scarborough Renaissance Festival. Opening weekend.

Oh shit. The Jahova Witnesses are on the prowl.

My Nintendo 3DS Friend Code is: 4296-3007-6462

Add me! If you’ve sent me yours previously, I’ll be adding you tonight. (I’m away from a compatible WiFi connection.)

Glenn Beck gets dropped and Beastie Boys drop sounds from their new album. Today is indeed a good day.

How was anyone expected to get any sleep with all that noise? I say we keep our heavy thunderstorms reserved for late evenings… not 4 am.

So I’m changing web hosts. The CEO of GoDaddy - Bob Parsons - killing an elephant needlessly. Moving over to Dreamhost.

I bought a Nintendo 3DS, two games (Pro Evolution Soccer for me, Nintendogs for Christy Jedigoddess), and Crysis 2 for the 360.

Forum comment of the month:

“The problem is that it’s news to Americans. Everyone else in the world knows we’re shit at everything, but Americans live in a patriotic bubble of superiority. In fact, you could probably show them all of this data and they’d still say we’re the best at everything.” - TheNinthKnight, Citizen Radio forum.

The lovely Donna Compton is buying me lunch today.

Slowly I’m befriending all the atheists I can find on Facebook. Then:

1. Back alley meetings
2. Dark plots emerge
3. We escape from our hiding places and take over the world
4. ???
5. PROFIT!!!!

Today’s snack food is a couple of bananas and some oranges, main course for lunch is two non-dairy cheese sandwiches on natural grain bread. Life is good.

I saw Sucker Punch last night. I give it my seal of approval.

If the sentence that is about to come out of your mouth begins with a demonym, a racial descriptor, a gender, or any adjective that describes a group of people and continues with the word “are”: you better think long and hard about what you are saying. Blanket statements never win and only show your ignorance.

I just dove too deep into how disgusting humanity can be. I’m going to try to keep some lunch down. Bleah.

I’m holding the internet hostage. I demand $10,000 be sent to my PayPal account or I’ll unleash a music video with me singing about common facts!

Humorous: driving down the road in a police cruiser while listening to Rage.

I’ll be seeing Sucker Punch tomorrow. Before it’s released in the theater and for free.

I’ve declared today Rage Against the Machine day. No other reason than I’m wearing their t-shirt and listening to their first album this morning. Good times.

It’s nice seeing all these As on my list of friends. I don’t feel so alone anymore :)

Now… who wants to give me a new job :p

I have to admit I have a man-crush on Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Ack. I let Global Atheist run out of queued stories. Time to approve a bunch of them.

It’s 12:30 in the morning and I sit here on my patio occasionally looking at Facebook but nearly 100% focused on writing. I’m going to use amazon.com’s self-publishing tool to publish in ebook format.

Only after I become a world renown author will I probably ever have something published as a physical book =D

I have to thank my fellow Godless Maniacs at Citizen Radio for turning me on to the band Rise Against. I don’t know how this group flew under my radar, but I have made sure that this mistake was well taken care of.

OH GOD! THE SUPERMOON™! ITS GRAVITATIONAL PULL IS SUCKING ME IN!! I CAN FEEL THE EARTH QUIVER BELOW ME!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

The brain is still fuzzy, the brain is still fuzzy. Derp.

Blah. Had to go out and help move some heavy stuff in storage. Life doesn’t stop just because your sick. Stopped by work to check on a few things…… everything I eat blows right through me. Eeewww.

Called in sick. Feel rough… gut has turned to water. Joy!

No no no no no no no NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!! My throat is feeling rough. Please be allergies… please be allergies… please be allergies… please be allergies… please be allergies…

If I read another article about the SuperMoon™ and the Japanese earthquake… I’m just going to commit ritual suicide.

Watching “Earth: The Making of a Planet” on the National Geographic Channel

So I’m using Internet Explorer voluntarily for the first time in a long time. Trying out IE9. It’s fast…… but its still Internet Explorer. Bleah.

Watching shuttle landing.

Quack quack!

Never judge a book by its movie.

I really need a new job. Anyone want to hire a computer nerd?

A unionized public worker, a member of the Tea Party and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table there is a plate with a dozen cookies on it. The CEO reaches across and takes 11 cookies, looks at the tea partier and says, “Watch out for that union guy – he wants a piece of your cookie.” - from Josh Moskowitz, friend of Michileen Martin

If I wasn’t circumcised… I’d call my foreskin Robin Hood. Just sayin'.

“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. – In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.” - Richard Dawkins

Solidarity. Wish I could make my way to Wisconsin.

I haven’t heard back from my new Facebook friend :(

I’m thinking of making a site that collects crazy religious right wing articles using RSS feeds. Like Global Atheist… just pondering it. Name it WorldNutDaily or something like that. haha. Hmmm….

I’m a little emotional right now… I… … I got my first christian troll message. It’s a momentous occasion and… I’m just so happy.

“The new Justin Bieber film has amazing 3D. It’s almost like you could just reach out and punch him.” Best tweet on twitter ever.

So I’ve decided… I’m going to be a fiction writer. It’s not going to be easy but I’m going to work hard at it.

The historic and unprecedented revolutionary wave going on throughout the Middle East and North Africa continues with Libya where the anti-government protesters are coming under live fire from military forces. Also, Bahrain is firing up as well.

I’m wearing Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers pajamas… no, I’m not kidding :)

I just watched Paranormal Activity. It was boring.

Nearly 4000 clicks since I restarted the twitter bot. Nice.

Your car is German. Your vodka is Russian. Your pizza is Italian. Your kebab is Turkish. Your democracy is Greek. Your coffee is Ethiopian. Your tea is Tamil. Your shirt is Indian. Your oil is Saudi Arabian. Your electronics are Chinese. Your numbers are Arabic, your letters Latin. Your land stolen from the indigenous. And you complain that your neighbor is an immigrant? Mmmmm, hypocrisy.

Ok, NOW I got my facebook bot working. It would post from the web browser but not from CRON (nor command line)… but I got it all worked out. Learned quite a bit as well. Fun times.

Outstanding. I’ve finally finished tweeking my Facebook bot. Now my website will post to both the twitter feed and the facebook page. Yay.

Outstanding. Now to spam everyone with my new facebook bot, uha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Facebook API test.

Best comment I’ve read to a blog post in a while:

“Shut. The. Fuck. Up. And. Listen. Your cock does not provide you with a universal perspective.”

I saw a press screening of “I Am Number Four” today. Ugh… …

FYI: If you are viewing photos on Facebook and can’t stand this new photo viewer… just hit the reload button on your browser (or F5).

Your corporate masters have permitted you to show your love to your significant other on this day.

Ask me anything http://formspring.me/Dubhghlas - you know you want to. No, stop lying to yourself… you really do.

So it took Egyptian protesters 18 days to take down their corrupt government… I bet we can do it faster ;)

VICTORY! Congratulations to the millions of protesters in Egypt. DON’T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN! Keep fighting the fight!

Life is a short gift granted to a lucky few who get the chance to experience this universe. Our lives are bookended by oblivion. It is between this we experience happiness, love, sorrow, heartbreak, and everything that makes us human. In this moment we need to embrace those we love, forgive those who hurt us, and do something you enjoy immensely daily for our lives end far to quickly. From your favorite Atheist, me.

Gravedigger When you dig my grave Could you make it shallow So that I can feel the rain

“Life is but a momentary glimpse of the wonder of this astonishing universe, and it is sad to see so many dreaming it away on spiritual fantasy.”

• Carl Sagan

Hey, I know this game… we’re under a Winter Weather Watch for late Tuesday early Wednesday.

Half-time shows always annoy the hell out of me.

Sackboy is too cute.

I must buy Little Big Planet 2 today.

Took a bunch of pictures of the snow. About three to five inches fell in the area.

Uh oh. Today the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority announced that they’ve assigned the last free blocks of addresses under the IPv4 system.
