I am launching two new websites this week. A blog for my PS3 Auction website named PS3Auction.com Blog at blog.ps3auction.com check out the PS3 Game Blog. Also in the works is a custom wordpress/hybrid website for Texas Direct Auto at the web address www.texasdirectautoauction.com.

I am excited about both these projects as they will be something to help me learn about website optimization and keywords etc. I am hoping to make two very graphically driven and keyword intense website that will add a lot to the Playstation 3 Community and the Texas Direct Auto Industry.

We are now living in Texas a few hours away from Houston and Missouri City, TX where the physical location of Texas Direct Auto one of the largest Ebay Motor Sellers in the world has their facility. This is a smaller more targeted niche than I usually go after such as Cheap PS3 Games, or PS3 Cheat Codes but it should be a fun challenge and a nice project to keep me busy. I will be teaming up with my brother Mark the creator of Tech Tutorial he is a great help in the ideas behind the website and making the code work. I am more graphics driven and hope to bring some flashy cool graphics to his sites as well. He also has some new sites in the work for Cellphone Unlocking and many interesting things also in terms of Iphone Hacking and similar tasks.

If you have any comments or suggestions on how to make this site better or any of our other sites please us know.

Galveston Island, Texas is getting the worst of Hurricane Ike right now. Residents were warned by the National Weather Service that they may face “certain death” if not evacuated from the low lying areas. Some 4.5 million customers are without power already as Ike pushes through Galveston and into the Houston Area. I was just watching some news clips and its very windy and very violent blowings wind with debris flying all over the place. Many TV stations here in South Texas are not working now and have colored bars on them as they are probably based in the Houston Area and are out of service. I guess we will not know until daybreak how bad the storm is.

Houston is the nations 4th largest city, and a wall of water could surge that would be almost 20 feet tall. Galveston a coastal community with an 18 foot storm wall was plowed over by Ike the worst storm to hit Texas in nearly 50 years. In the year 1900 a storm came through Galveston that killed 8000 residents when Hurricane warnings were non existent. This time plenty of time was given to flee but as many as 40,000 residents decided to stay and ride out the storm.

Rescue missions have already began taking place as helicopters are bailing people out one at a time as people changed their minds too late and were already hit with the menacing waters. No deaths have been reported yet but in situations like this it seems that there will be some tragedy and we hope that its very limited as this hurricane is only a few hours from our home. It really makes you think that this kind of thing can happen to your family.

See more information here at yahoo news. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people that are having their lives disrupted by this Hurricane Ike, we had a smaller hurricane dolly come near our home last month and it was enough of a pain just putting up with no power and no running water. We got lucky this time that we did not get hit like Galveston/Houston.

Good luck to everyone reading this and keep safe.

Hurricane Dolly is dropping a lot of rain on us right now in Weslaco, Texas. We have popped our heads out a few times but its very windy and rainy. There are tons of tree branches floating down the street. The palm trees are swaying and dropping palms. We are missing the eye of the storm it is heading in a more North Western path from where we are in Weslaco, Texas. My wife’s family is here from Edcouch/Elsa Texas. Their hometown of Elsa is getting slammed right now wiht heavy rain and winds.

The lights are flickering and the tv station keeps getting pixellated from the digitial signal. We have the news on constantly and are watching the eye of the storm. First it was on a direct path to us but then it headed north and now to the west we are getting the second to third band out of rain out from the eye of the storm.

We are watching the destruction on TV, so far South Padre Island and Port Mansfield are getting hit the worst. The weatherman is on there in a yellow full body raincoat trying to walk in the wind, its pretty entertaining.

As I write this the power just flickered off twice, I lost power two times and the battery backup on the laptop saved this post.

I’ll go ahead and end now before I have to write this again.
