Okay, I’m spending too much time on this, but… after reading the comments on my post last night and thinking about it more, here’s how I think they should have ended the episode: Sayid, while interrogating/torturing the Guy Who May or May Not be an Other, finds out something equally ambiguous and creepy from him—something… Continue reading How Lost should have ended last night

This week’s thoughts on Lost
Yeah, this is getting somewhat regular: recording some thoughts about the latest episode of Lost. I suppose some of these might be spoiler-y, though, so I’ll put it behind the clickthru. (RSS readers: well, uh, you don’t get that luxury, so watch out: there might be spoilers.)
The Lost Ultimate Theory
This was an amusing read, and devilishly detailed: The Lost Ultimate Theory. I won’t guess as to the accuracy of it—quite a bit seems too science fantasy for my taste—but I will say that if the producers are ever looking for new writers for the show, they should contact this guy.
The one about the weekend
Nothing grand to report, but somehow we managed to fill up the weekend. Friday night after work we had dinner at the excellent La Rosa, over on the west side. Afterward, we meandered around Wal-Mart and Shopko looking for gifts for birthday parties are kids were invited to. Exciting, right? When we got home and… Continue reading The one about the weekend
The (Easter egged?) book on tonight’s Lost
I’ve been informally keeping track of the books that appear on Lost, so of course I caught tonight’s little Easter egg. Anyone else catch the title of the book Locke was shaking through when Sawyer found him in the hatch? The text on the cover read “Owl Creek Bridge”, and a quick sweep on Wikipedia… Continue reading The (Easter egged?) book on tonight’s Lost
What about a local PHP user group?
Last week I met with a local businessman who was interested in finding a local PHP expert/consultant for a project that he’s expanding. He already has a long-distance PHP guy doing work for him, but also wanted someone local. This got me to thinking; aside from myself and a few isolated individuals, and Alpine, who… Continue reading What about a local PHP user group?
Strangely enough, it’s a real book…
It’s amazing what they’re publishing in For Dummies books these days… I almost wish I had made this up: Pit Bulls for Dummies This just makes me laugh. The fact that it’s for real just makes this that much more irrationally funny to me…
No clever title
In case you were wondering why I suddenly dropped off the radar, it’s because Thursday I came home from work feeling achy and tired and running an elevated temperature of 100 degrees or so. Went to bed, skipping dinner, slept more-or-less through the night, and got up Friday feeling better—not perfect, but well enough to… Continue reading No clever title
PHP contest: Texas Holdem
I thought this sounded interesting considering how popular poker is these days (you know who you are): PHP Editors is holding a PHP programming contest for a Texas Holdem game. I might try it out. It wouldn’t be anything like most commercial poker sites out there, but it would be an interesting programming project. …Not… Continue reading PHP contest: Texas Holdem
