The best LOST theory out there

For those of you who, like me, have given up on LOST simply because it took too goddamn long to resolve anything, here’s some guy’s take which is very compelling.

Don’t get me wrong, I think LOST is an awesome concept, and I don’t think less of anyone who has diligently watched every episode till now. It’s just that honestly, for a series that has that much of complexity in the concept alone, you really should limit how many seasons it will run and make sure it resolves by then. Right now it’s like they’re extending the seasons just because of the ratings and not necessarily because the story needs that much seasons to unravel.

Or they could at least try doing it a-la Heroes; where it answers a ton of questions as fast as it can (sometimes even within the season). That way, even if new questions/issues arise – nothing is compounded; and the viewers have to come to grips with less of a mind-fuck.

Hacking Multiply

Well, it’s not so much of a hack… or is it? By definition, it actually is – yet judging from how people like to define “hacking” nowadays, this is pretty lame… but I digress.

The short of it is that I made a “skin” for my Multiply page. The purpose of the exercise is to hopefully set it apart from the rest of the users which go the “template” way. Not that it really matters to me; social networking sites are always secondary to my main site. I’d even go so far as to say the only reason I sign up on such sites is to make sure no one uses my handle. I learned the hard way when someone took the “nargalzius” handle on AIM before me.

Half-Life

There was a picture that made waves in the internet showing how Gordon Freeman (of Half-Life fame) would look in real life. The personality of choice was none other than Hugh Laurie.

Code Monkey

Here’s a cool song from Jonathan Coulton, a niche artist that has captured the hearts of the technology geeks. Listen to the lyrics of one of his songs and you’ll see what I mean.
