No Post Left Behind
Even if I weren’t too busy to ramble on at length about TV shows, there’s just not a lot to say about this week’s episode of “Lost.” Just look at the final score: Pro About a minute of marginally interesting character development from Locke Cool, creepy scene with the smoke monster flashing itself at Juliet…

Two more of my favorite things
The planets must be aligning or something. I saw that two more of my favorite things are coming together: the RiffTrax guys released a track for the pilot episode of “Lost”. I haven’t listened to it yet, but of course I bought it the second I saw it and realized what it was. This RiffTrax…

A few (well, two) of my favorite things
Matt sent me this link to a really, really well-done fan video. It’s The Walt Disney World Tower of Terror in a Half-Life 2 mod. All it’s missing is the fog in the courtyard and a few of the effects in the ride.

Sakura to Taiko
Another cherry blossom festival, another reminder that there’s a concert from the SF Taiko Dojo at the Kabuki on Saturday, April 21st. And another reminder that they’re always awesome, and everybody should check it out. The shows at Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley for the fall annual festival are usually longer and more spectacular, but here…

Razzle Frickin’ Dazzle
I can’t describe how much I liked this week’s episode of “Lost.” No exaggeration, it’s one of my favorite episodes of the entire series, and maybe even one of my favorite episodes of any television series. It’s like Darin Morgan “X-Files” good. The reason I thought of Morgan is because “Exposé” does the same for…

Cat on my stuff
It’s tough being a dog person and living in the city. Even if I had an apartment that allowed dogs, it just doesn’t seem right to me having one without a big back yard — not just for the dog’s benefit, but so I can just let him run around without my intervention if I’m…

See more of the internets!
The internets are way way too big for only six links. I waste enjoy at least four hours a day looking at stuff on the computers, I’ve got a lot more stuff to recommend. Making Light: I got in trouble a while ago for calling this site a hotbed of liberal propaganda. When the country…

Too much confusion
The season 3 finale of “Battlestar Galactica” aired tonight. According to the SciFi channel, season 4 doesn’t start until 2008. Word on the street is that there’ll be a two-hour movie “bridging” the season, not continuing from the finale, but introducing things that’ll be resolved in season 4. In my whole history of watching things,…

I can’t use these things together
One of the life lessons that I keep learning, and keep ignoring, is that you should always keep your career separate from your hobbies. In retrospect, I could’ve saved a lot of time and effort if I’d just bought the sequels to Monkey Island and SimCity instead of flying all the way out here to…

Winding Down
TVSquad forwarded along a New York Post story, which is pretty much completely unsubstantiated speculation quoting from an anonymous “tipster,” that the producers of “Battlestar Galactica” want to end the series after the fourth (next) season. This is similar to the claims the “Lost” guys have made that they’ve got an ending in sight and…

See the internets!
Thanks to the Sam & Max games, Google searches by friends from back East, and the fact that for the first time in recent memory I have friendly neighbors, a lot of new people are discovering this website. I feel obligated to point out that there are a lot more interesting places on the interwebs…
