LOST Missing Pieces
LOST returns with 8 new episodes beginning this Thursday, January 31st.
The Season 3 Finale is airing tonight to re-cap, but if you want more new content before the Season 4 Premiere, check out the Missing Pieces episodes.
These are 13 mini-episodes with new original content featuring some unique insight to the storyline we have all come to love so much…
My favorites were # 3, King Of The Castle, and # 6, Room 23. The final Missing Piece, So It Begins, was pretty good too…
Check ’em out and let me know which ones you enjoyed most…
Ekset Apparel
Looking for some cool new clothes? Check out Ekset Apparel. It’s owned by an old high-school friend of mine, Matt Teske.
They have a bunch of cool stuff on the site, for men and women. I really like the <a href=http://www.ekset.com/products.php?s=EM&c=01&sc=16&p=121″>Griffin and Atrium sketchbook tees.
Check out their site and pick out the gear you like. It’s high quality stuff and very affordable.
Vadrum / Super Mario Bros. 2
If you’re a NES kid like I am, you’ll love this video:
He also does a version of Super Mario Bros. 1 as well as a sweet track with the MacGyver soundtrack.
Two New Apps I Can’t Live Without
I love coming across new Mac apps. Especially ones as cool as Fluid and CoRD.
Fluid is a site specific browser that allows you to create web applications as a separate desktop application. Like me, you’re probably tired of having 10 tabs open in Safari and have to lose them all when one of them crashes the app. Fluid solves this. It works with Safari to create a standalone application to just one site, but still retains tabbed browsing, new windows, etc…So far, I’ve created about 10 new apps I will use on a daily basis.
CoRD is the big one, though. If you know how much I love my Mac, you’ll know how much I hate pulling out the Dell at work for rare occasions when I have to use a PC-Only application. CoRD is a Windows Remote Desktop Server which I can log into any machine here on the network and use it from my Macbook. It does away with me having to pull out the Dell at all and I couldn’t be happier.
Check out the above links for these two apps (did I mention they are free?), or download them below: Fluid.zip CoRD.dmg

- Big thanks go to Terry Storch for showing me CoRD and Joshua Blankenship for posting about Fluid!!
Fred Thompson Drops Out, Vote For Change!
Wow, Fred. What’s it been? Two months and you’re already out of the Presidential race? Why would you even announce your candidacy in the first place?
Did anyone else think it was a little late for him to enter and no surprise that he has bowed out now?
Fred’s mistake was he entered the race way too late. He should have entered much, much sooner. I won’t make the same mistake. Which is why I am now announcing my intentions to run for President of the United States. In 2012. It’s never too early to enter, right?
If you’re looking for a candidate who is not a career politician, I’m the man for you.
If you are tired of people in the white house so much older than you who can’t understand the issues facing your life, vote for me (I’ll be 30 in 2012).
If you want a President committed to getting things done, destroying bureaucratic log jams and lowering taxes (of course), then I am the man for you.
I hope the rest of America feels the same way in 2012. See you at the polls!!

Bobby Fischer, Chess Prodigy, 1943-2008
Ever since I watched Searching for Bobby Fischer a few years back, I’ve had respect for the guy. To be able to show up at any moment and own just about any chess player is pretty awesome.
Bobby Fischer passed away on January 17th at age 64. I thought this Time magazine article was a pretty cool retrospective on his life.
