System in the Wild: Lost Edition

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

Ah, you guys are always on the lookout.  It’s awesome!  Today’s comes straight from Systemic ScottieC:

Going through my feeds this morning I came across this website: http://soncosasmias.blogspot.com/2008/11/combatiendo-la-abstinencia-de-lost.html that explains the television show “Lost” in a single image using your signature characters.

Just goes to show you.  Sometimes you’re Locke, and sometimes you’re Hurley.  Btw, here is your chance to comment on whether you think Lost is:  

  1. Awesome
  2. Got Old 3 Seasons Ago
  3. Never Any Good

 

Mad Men’s Jon Hamm

He’s on the cover of GQ, and he’s seen looking at a horse.  As for the interview, he’s a bit of a dude.  Oh, and Obama is in there too.  Link.

Awesomeness Abounds

I’m about to get out of here, but a few quick things before I leave the internet alone for the day.

My Mad Men correspondent Mollie sends me news of a Mad Men Revue:

Lionsgate is working on a plan to book more dates for the “Mad Men” musical revue that played the El Rey Theater in L.A. last month as a benefit for the L.A. chapter of the Recording Academy. The show featured musical numbers from the “Mad Men” early ’60s era and a dash of Rat Pack-esque shtick performed by supporting cast members of the Emmy-winning AMC drama.

I’m there.  Who’s with me?

A wonderful visual guide to the financial crisis (thanks, Carni).

Meanwhile, here’s a great vid my friend Jen sent out about the Philly Hot Dog launcher.

Lightning round!

  • An interesting article on “print literacy” and “screen literacy” in the new age of LCD screens everywhere.
  • They ran cables for a bridge across a giant gorge with ROCKETS.
  • And because it’s thanksgiving, a muffin sent me news of Alton Brown on Pie (mmm pie).
