Random Lost Thoughts

  • Lots of crazy weather last night, which caused the picture to go out several times, so I didn’t catch the entire episode, but most of it.
  • The evening started off with Obama and his 100 days, and then the 100th episode of Lost.  Now there’s just two episodes left for this season.  It will be interesting to see what kind of cliff-hanger they leave us.  Maybe it will have something to do with hydrogen bomb, if it goes off or not, of who sets it off.  Or maybe it will relate to time travel again, like who changed time, or if they made it back to the future.
  • So Penny and Desmond both survived.
  • Desmond, ”I promised you, Penny…I promised you I’d never leave you again.” Famous last words?
  • Maybe Desmond is one of those that the Island won’t let die?
  • Widmore being Daniel’s daddy didn’t surprise me, but then again, I’ve been watching this show long enough now that I don’t think anything can surprise. But then again again, perhaps Widmore isn’t his biological son, but he just thinks of him as a son.
  • It must be an interesting feeling rearing a child knowing that you will only end up shooting it.
  • Daniel was shot in 1977, so I guess this means she actually had Daniel sometime after shooting the adult Daniel . . . unless he’s already born and just not with his mum.
  • A lot of Daniel’s actions seemed a bit contrived, don’t you think?  Just the way he waved that gun so that the Black Suited Dharma boys would see it and start a fight, and the way he just roamed into the Other’s or Hostiles’ camp.  It’s like he wanted to get shot.
  • Did you notice the Wired magazine on the couch when Widmore vistied Daniel?  This particular issue, per the front cover, is the super powers issue that covers the end of cancer, x-ray vison, invisibility, and . . . . time travel.
  • I’m streching here, but the cancer article starts on page 108 (4+8+15+16+23+42=108).
  • And another interesting connection, JJ Abrams (the co-creater and executive producer of Lost) is a guest editor for the current issue of the magazine.
  • I liked it when Daniel outed Miles as Chang’s child.  Maybe it will spur them on to future conversations?
  • Juliet really didn’t like Sawyer calling Kate “Freckles.”  I am curious how they are going to get out of this jam.
  • Fonzie times . . . lol.

Texas Bible Drill State Final Postponed

From the Baptist General Convention of Texas

Dear Bible Drill Leaders and Participants,

Like most of you, we have been very concerned about the increasing reports of Swine Flu affecting many people throughout Texas, our nation and even worldwide. News reports today informed us that upon the recommendation of the Texas Department of Health, and in consultation with the Texas Education Agency, Texas University Interscholastic League (UIL) has suspended all sporting events until May 11.

Due to the extreme health concerns that this creates for all people in Texas, but especially our children and youth, we have made the decision to postpone the State Final for Bible Drill and Speakers’ Tournament due to be hosted at the BGCT Baptist Building in Dallas, this Friday and Saturday, May 1 ‐2.

We are tentatively rescheduling the State Final for Friday and Saturday, May 15 – 16, again hosted at the Baptist Building in Dallas.

Please go to the BGCT web site ‐ www.bgct.org ‐ for updates regarding further information.   If you have additional questions, please feel free to call the BGCT toll free number 888.244.9400.

Sincerely,
Phil Miller
Director, Bible Study/Discipleship

Jarrad Farbs quit his job by creating a playable Super Mario Bros resignation letter

How do you break the news to your coworkers that you’re leaving your job at a major game studio to pursue indie development? With a game, of course.

Jarrad Farbs decided to leave his position as a developer at 2K Australia in order to take up independent game development full-time. But he wanted to let people know about his upcoming departure in a memorable, yet legal and non-horrifying, way.

He stayed up all night working on his resignation, a short, playable Flash game featuring Mario delivering the news along with a very nice farewell message. “Thank you 2K Australia!” the game says at its conclusion. “You gave me a paycheck, an incredible project and a world-class team to learn from. But my princess is in another castle.”
