LOST: Why tying up a serialized TV show is tougher than you’d think

My roommate and I had a few people over for a LOST series finale get-together last night.

I channeled my beer label design [...]

There’s nothing to see here. Well, that’s not true.

I’m just testing a post to twitter plugin for wordpress called Tweetly Updater. Nothing to see here. Well, there’s something to see here: Oh, Chief Wiggum, you’re the best.

In the 24 universe, I'm happy I live in a cowtown

Don’t worry, no spoilers here. In last night’s 2 hour episode of 24, the CTU analysts use a 15″ MacBook Pro. Same as me.

"I know Kate. [pause] Hi. [little hand wave]"

Kate from Lost. She’s one of those livelinks girls.

One of my favorite things about High Definition programming

You can read signs in the backgrounds. Take SportsCenter, for instance. The college football crew was in Iowa City and there were maybe two thousand Iowhiners (what do you call people from Iowa anyway?) cheering. And cheering loud. There was a guy a ways back with a white sign that read Corso is my dad, [...]
