Found this awesome real-time global windspeed map. Current highlights:
-Storm north-east of madagascar.
-Antarctica.

Needed it for an assignment, but since it looks nice I thought I could share it.

I'm going to just sit and stare at this for a few hours.

also doctor fate's solo is going to be ending soon but apparently he'll be in a comic with jaime reyes? yes, except no, since that comic will be written by keith giffen- which means everything will be horrible.

also there is this panel from yesterday's doc fate comic

John, that live weather thing is amazing. Beautiful!

Wyrm, when did you change your text? It made me laugh because someone gave me a beautiful chunk of amethyst geode yesterday. I'm going to put it in the garden, I think.

It was a few days ago, maybe Tuesday? Certainly just this week. And amethyst is my birthstone, just to add another level of slight coincidence.

I have to wonder if there's any particular way you'd prefer the geode to be acknowledged... :))

Can you imagine Onni as a tourist guide? That was me yesterday. We organized a day-trip for exchange students and teachers, but due to overwork and lack of sleep I was in my grumpiest mood...
Fortunately the beatuty of the landscape and the medieveal casle ruins compensated my morosity.
