Nan and I stayed up until almost 2a.m. last night playing the LOST alternate reality game “Find 815.” The game was a lot of fun, but because we got into it late, we had the advantage of being able to go through the content in a non-linear fashion. (though I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone who hasn’t yet seen the site.) If you’re a fan of the LOST TV series, you should check out this site before it goes away. (which is supposedly in another 7 weeks or so) There are a lot of clues and bits of information that tie directly into the LOST series. Even if you ‘re not a fan, the puzzles and clue hunts are fun by themselves.

New LOST clues…
In case you didn’t stick around for the pilot of Eli Stone, after tonight’s episode of LOST, the main thing you missed was the URL for a new tie-in site. The faux commercial showed several women dressed as Oceanic flight attendants talking vaguely about their exotic destinations when someone appears to break into the transmission to tell you not to trust them while a text bar appears at the bottom of the page briefly showing the URL. Oh, and don’t expect to see anything on the site just yet, it’s getting swamped. Imagine that! 🙂
Is HD-DVD dead?
PC World – Warner’s Blu-ray Endorsement Boosts the Buzz at CES
I seriously considered whether to buy an HD-DVD or Blu-ray player this Christmas, but in the end I decided to hold out a little longer. I’ve gone back and forth over this a lot the past year, but up to this point there has just been too much uncertainty about which format would win. Warner’s announcement supporting Blu-ray definitely gives an advantage to Sony’s format, but I don’t know if I would call it the winner just yet. I’ve been leaning towards a PS3 anyway, but with the new models lacking full backwards compatibility I’m thinking I may have to look for a used model. Either way, this is good news as one format finally has a major advantage over the other. Another point of interest: I noticed recently that LG has a CD/DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-ray writer that can be found for about $250. Not a bad way to go if you already have a media center type PC.
