LOST Post: Christopher “Biggie” Wallace Memorial Edition
Posted on March 9, 2010
Well gang, it’s about that time. Its time for the dead to rise up and join the living. Here’s my current working theory:
It’s flawed now that I think about it, but there are no bad ideas in brainstorming. I think that the time stream where everybody makes it home is the fallout from following Smoke Monster Locke. That OR Juliet blasted the island people into two separate time streams. We’ll find out. Or will we?
This article quotes a widely publicised interview where the writers say that they don’t have enough time to tie up the loose ends. What a bunch of dick bags. Remember Season 3? Remember the wasted season? Remember how every week for 3 months we would sit in front of the TV and go “WTF did we just watch? That was useless.” That would have been a great time to add some plot. Godammit. That having been said, I agree with the AV Club that things are going along pretty well. I honestly have no idea what this episode is going to be about.
Boy I don’t know what I am going to do with myself after this show is over. I wish there was a physical location I could go to where I could relive all my favorite memories of the best television show since SeaQuest and Dukes of Hazzard. What? There’s going to be a theme park? Nevermind then.

Daily Crossword
Posted on March 9, 2010
Hey guys. I’m trying out a new feature here, a Daily Crossword. Let me know what you think. I’m not 100% behind this one for a number of reasons. First the ads. One of my goals is to run this site without ads. Second, the navigation is a bit tricky. Third, I don’t like that it lets you know what letters aren’t correct.
If you find another crossword puzzle that is better and I can embed in this site, then let me know. Right now I’m sleepy. Very sleepy.

Put your computer to sleep with SONAR.
Posted on March 8, 2010
Here’s the magic of open source applications. This little application tells your computer when to go to sleep using SONAR. How? The program emits an inaudible sound and uses the microphone to detect whether or not there is an object within 4 feet of the front of the computer. If not, it goes to sleep.
This one is native for Windows, and can also be easily compiled if you use Linux. I’m sorry Mac users, but once again you have to wait for your lord god Steve Jobs to get his grubby fingerprints all over this one.
I’m going to try putting it on my work laptop. It will be interesting to see how well it interacts with other applications like movie players etc.

RIP Walter Frederick ‘Fred’ Morrison (1920 – 2010)
Posted on March 8, 2010
You have never heard of Fred Morrison, but you have undoubtedly been touched by him in one way or another. Morrison’s entrepreneurial life began innocuously, throwing a popcorn tin lid around with his best gal on the California beaches. Quickly discovering that cake tins fly better and faster, Morrison parleyed this knowledge into a little business called “Flyin’ Cake Pans”, selling his wares to passerbyes on the Santa Monica Beach.
WWII saw him in the pilot’s seat of a P-47 Thunderbird over Italy, where he was shot down and was a POW for 48 days. Back in the USA, he took some aerodynamic knowledge he had garnered, and sketched out a design for the “Whirlo-Way”, the first plastic flying disc. An investor paid for the first mould, and it was gangbusters from there. In 1955, he settled with a final style, the “Pluto Platter”, which is considered to be the pater familias of all flying discs made since.
Morrison died in his home on Tuesday of old age. He is survived by his 3 children.
Anecdotal evidence has it that Morrison was a stand up guy. His product is credited with the religion “Frisbeeism”, the belief that when you die, your soul goes spinning up onto some old lady’s roof. I suck at anything Frisbee related, but I cannot recall my childhood and college life without it being tainted by Frisbees.
