UTD is closed again tomorrow.

The hard freeze warning and the wind chill advisory has been extended until noon Thursday.

We’re currently under a Winter Storm Warning, A Wind Advisory, A Wind Chill Advisory, and a Hard Freeze Warning.

The protests in Egypt are impressive. 2 million people strong.

Wow, the roads are almost a solid block of ice.

So our weather will begin as rain, transition over to ice in the morning, and tapper off as snow. By noon tomorrow it’ll below freezing and will turn all the precipitation that fell into ice. By Wednesday morning it’ll be about 9 degrees.

Our Winter Storm Watch has been upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning.

Had a great time at the Women of Sci-Fi Convention. Morena Baccarin (Firefly, Serenity, V) was gracious and charming, Nichelle Nichols (Star Trek) was amazing and inspirational, Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica) were hystarical.

Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackhoff were great.

I have fallen in love with Super Meat Boy.

Sitting on the porch, enjoying the sunset with temperatures just under 70 degrees. Gonna suck in as much of this spring-like weather I can. Winter returns to us by Tuesday.

I may have to break my rule about NOT playing Facebook games if what I hear is true. OREGON TRAIL COMING TO FACEBOOK!?!?!?

Dysentery for everyone!!!

I think it would be interesting to do a freedom of information request to the FBI on my own name.

Best comment I’ve ever seen on the internet: “I can promise each and every person that reads this that if I put on a white coat and started marketing Fukitol as a “proven remedy” for anything I cared to come up with, I’d be a millionaire before anybody decided to actually perform a study to see if it did anything.”

I didn’t know it was possible for your body hair to hurt…

Did John Boehner cry?

Woke up this morning so completely drenched in sweat that I was shivering cold. On the bright side I think I finally broke the fever once and for all. Now if I can only shake this horrible feeling in my head.

My temp was under 100 most of the afternoon… but it just jumped to 101 again.

I must have the flu. It’s getting a little better. My temp is running mid-99s to mid-100s… but the built up pressure is causing my eyes to hurt horribly. If I look any direction other than straight ahead or down it feels like my eyes are going to fly out of my skull. Cool bar trick, but I’m not interested.

Yup, I’m sick. My eyes are watering, my throat hurts, and I feel pretty top heavy. Bleah….

Ack. I’m in pain. My ass! My ass!!!! No…. it’s not the “overdose” from yesterday… it’s the entire jar of salsa I ate after lunch. It’s coming back… to haunt me!

I took a huge overdose of Pulsatilla 30c homeopathy “medication” last night.

Best weather forecast ever… “Cloudy with light freezing drizzle or rain likely in the morning…then partly sunny with a chance of light freezing rain and a slight chance of light freezing drizzle in the early afternoon. Partly sunny late in the afternoon. Breezy. Highs in the mid 30s. Temperature falling into the mid 20s in the afternoon. North winds 15 to 25 mph. Wind chill readings as low as 12 to 17.”

I knew it… they never planned to change my position to a full computer tech position. rage

Spent my entire day playing Minecraft.

New James Bond movie finally gets a release date. Nov 9, 2012. 22 months to go!

Eeek. 19 degrees.

I wonder who the genius is that allowed the sprinklers to run last night.

Listening to one of the best albums of all time, Pink Floyd’s The Wall. What happened to music like this? They sure don’t make it like this anymore.

Looking around for a new job. I’d take just about anything as long as it pays $25k or more.

Best security question ever. “What is your father’s middle name?” Because no one will ever be able to guess THAT one being that I’m a junior and all.

I’ve had 16 days off… I don’t want to go back to work. Biggest reason: I don’t want to shave off this beard.

Ahh, it’s funny you know… I remember 2010 like it was yesterday.

Happy New Year!!!!!

Watching the sun set on my porch. The close of a day that I wish could be taken back and done over.

This is going to be a very very very sad new year. I already miss you Lisa Alexander

I’ve been watching a Funny or Die marathon on HBO for the past four hours.

I’m actually watching Twilight right now. I can feel my brain matter freezing into a solid block of horrible writing and even worse acting.

Got Civilization V for Christmas. I’m always a sucker for turn based sim games. Damn addictive.

Merry Giftmas everyone!

The only websites I ever visit with Internet Explorer… is Firefox’s download page and Google Chrome’s download page.

These clouds have two hours to clear out… or I’m waging war against mother nature.

I will be staying up tonight taking some pictures of the lunar eclipse. Unfortunately I only have a wide angle lense so there will be no close up shots.

Does anyone know of a place who may be hiring for a general computer dude position?

Someone on the bus is talking to unemployment on the phone… on speaker phone… and has repeatedly said his social security number out loud. Awkward, and dangerous.

Just saw Tron: Legacy. Great movie and a worthy follow up to the original.

If you have an Android phone, we need to play Wordfued together!

If you have had any desire to try out Minecraft, you should buy it now! Next week it goes to Beta, the price jumps, and you no longer get all future editions for free. People who buy Minecraft now - in alpha - get all future editions for free!

The homeless go without eating. The elderly go without medicine. The mentally ill go without treatment. Troops go without proper equipment. Veterans go without benefits that were promised to them. Yet we give billions in tax breaks to the wealthiest 2% of Americans – those who need it least. Re-post if you agree

Best. Day. Ever.

Sarah Palin’s Alaska is on. Woohoo! Yeah, this is pretty bad. No, seriously. I can feel my brain matter solidifying.

血液型性格診断 (ketsueki gata seikaku shindan) is one of the silliest thing I know. It is WORSE than astrology… at least astrology is trying to peg humans into 12 generic stereotypes. Japanese blood type superstition stuffs you into just 4 stereotypes. – NO! It doesn’t predict your personality, it doesn’t match you with good candidates for relationships, this system fails hard… just like astrology.

Just got an early Christmas present :) A Canon EOS 350D.

Goooooooo Wikileaks!

I want to watch Brüno again. Ach ja!

I didn’t know Saban purchased Power Rangers back from Disney for $43 million dollars. Not only to the franchise, but to the 700 previous episodes. Your never too old for cheesy over the top martial arts fantasy!

After some persevering, I discovered the reason my networking was being a bit iffy… and I became intimate with such wonderful things as resolv.conf, dhclient.conf, nsswitch.conf, and all that fun stuff. Finally killed by DNS resolving issues.

For the uninitiated…… Minecraft is awesome.

I’m still pondering the redesign of Global Atheist. A manually edited website would cut down on clutter but would take a lot of time to keep going.

Now running Ubuntu 10.10

Today is my Monday… tomorrow is my Friday. Best week ever.

I want nothing to do with this morning.

Wow, wake up to find out Aung San Suu Kyi was released.

Is it already that time of year? The keep Christ in Christmas gangs are patrolling now.

How did I not know they were making a new Naked Gun movie?

I’ve been consumed by the evil addictive game called Minecraft.

We’re under a freeze warning.

MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann suspended indefinitely without pay.

Republicans like the constitution like they like their bibles: cherry picked and interpreted so badly it can justify any position they hold.

As I sit here reading through news my imagination had a brief horrible flash… of Boehner running for and winning the presidency.

Since republicans are completely 100% against socialism… I’m pretty sure we’ll see the newly Repub ran House of Representatives work to have their personal health insurance de-socialized… right? (http://www.opm.gov/insure/health/)

Please, put this on your status if you know someone (or are related to someone)who has been eaten by dragons. Dragons are nearly unstoppable and, in case you didn’t know, they can breathe fire. 93% of people won’t copy and paste this, because they have been eaten by dragons. The other 7% of people are sitting in the shower armed with fire extinguishers.

Trolls be trollin'

Haiti is bracing for the impact of what is predicted to be a category 2 Hurricane Tomas. They certainly do not need this.

Today is election day. If anyone had any sense they’d vote for anyone other then Republican or Democrat…… I can dream, can’t I?

As much as I love technology… there is something really attractive about the idea of living “off the grid”.

Regardless of who wins the elections on Tuesday… the working class will lose.

“Hydrogen is NOT the most abundant thing in the universe, stupidity is” – Frank Zappa

Ahh, sometimes its fun to go read the StormFront website just to see what they’re talking about. White supremacist… they say the funniest things. (By funny, I mean horrible and sad.)

Got my first Skullamanjaro in Halo: Reach today. Video incoming!

I want the type of computers they show in movies with their trippy GUIs, snazzy sound effects and fantastically unlimited ways of always coming up with answers.

Fun fact: Utah state law makes a husband responsible for every criminal act his wife commits while in his presence.

Why is my cell phone’s 4G network connection faster than the WiFi connection here at work?

To ensure that I am Y10K compliant, I will now list all dates in 5-digit format.

The average income for all american’s fell this past year EXCEPT for the top few percent of wage earners who saw their income multiply by five!!

Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission, ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite. All of which are American dreams!

Just met Frakes (William Riker), Spiner (Data), and Dorn (Worf) from The Next Generation. No, I didn’t grab any of their asses.

Yeah …… I just about groped Tia Carrere’s ass… and no, I’m not kidding.

Christy just got a wave and a nod from William Shatner. I never heard a girlish squeal come from her before until now.

Quote of the day: “I’ve got douche knuckles up in my ass.” –Christy Jedigoddess || I, for one, hate it when someone has their douche knuckles up in my bidniz.

I believe we’ll see Tropical Storm Richard before tomorrow. Roaming aimless in the Caribbean, he has the potential to be a real dick.

The protests in France are inspiring. I wish the lazy slugs in the US would mount such a protest. Instead, the upper class continues to stomp all over everyone.

Power went out during a Halo match. I’m out on the balcony… no lights are on within a mile or two.

Happy Birthday Nintendo Entertainment System. 25 years ago on this date.

This weekend I’ll be face to face with such people as Jonathan Frakes, Tia Carrere, Brent Spiner, Michael Dorn, Christopher Lloyd, and William Shatner.

I’m now a trained spotter for the National Weather Service. It might sound a little geeky, but I’m pretty damn excited about it.

Going to be a rough day. Third day with less than 5 hours of sleep.

Internet on campus is running pretty slow. Lame.

I just downloaded and installed Skype. You can find me as DubhghlasScott on there.
