85 Things You Probably Don’t Know About "Lost". Damn it buzzfeed, why can't I quit you? This is a pretty decent list of behind the scenes facts. I mean there's 85 of them. Odds are even if you did know all of these at one time, you've probably forgotten a couple. I might wait another couple years but Lost is totes one of those shows I'd like to watch again start to finish. I know, I know everyone's sour on the ending but I didn't mind it and I didn't think it negated all the fantastic episodes that lead up to it.

Here’s Your Collection Of Fans Who Kept Cameramen Busy At The 2014 World Cup. I don't think this world cup had any notable fans like Larissa Riquelme or blonde girl holding Brazilian flag (google it yourself pervert), unless you count that girl who got the modeling contract and then was dumped after they found out she liked to hunt big game. Still, that doesn't mean there weren't plenty of pretty ladies in the crowd.

5 Reasons Conspiracy Theories Are Destroying the World. Destroying the world might be a bit harsh but I would definitely go with making honest political discourse harder. I really liked the point about how for some people it's easier to latch onto one dissenting view, no matter how crazy it might be, than piles of empirical data. I listed to way too much talk radio and you get these kind of nut jobs calling in all the time.

Over the course of a weekend, DashCon 2014 descended into chaos. If you read just one link I put up this week, make it this one. It's the well detailed story of how a poorly run tumblr convention bilked a bunch of fun loving nerds out of thousands and thousands of dollars. But hey, everyone gets an extra hour in the ball pit!

Christmas List: Lost Swan Station Playset

Every day in December I plan on posting one thing from my official DevilDinosaur Christmas Wish List (patent pending). Why? Because I can.

I don't care if this Lost playset isn't for sale, or that the finale was pretty awful. I just want to sit back crack open a couple of Dharma brews and listen to some tunes with Locke and Sayid. Maybe we'll torture Benjamin Linus, I haven't decided yet.

Tumblr Tuesday: Lost Answers

Yeah yeah, a couple months ago I said I wouldn't do anymore tumblr tuesdays. That was before I stumbled upon Lost Answers. A tumblr with one sole purpose in internet-life. To shut up all the haters. Here's the site's intro:

Hi. I’m a scientist. Still confused by LOST's series finale? Think there are too many questions left unanswered or that it was purgatory the whole time? Well, I "respectfully" disagree. Send me your questions and I will answer them. I will write in complete sentences and support my answers.

Try not to ask too much about Walt.

That's right if you still can't figure out why there was a polar bear on the island you can ask a mother 'effin scientist. He'll even try and use small words so you'll understand.

Lost Review, spoiler and angst free

According to a facebook poll I took this morning (ie. reading updates) most people didn't like the finale of Lost. The majority of haters seemed to be unhappy with either the ammount of answers the shows finale actually gave us or what the flash-sideways ended up really being. Me, I loved the finale for what it was instead of hating it for what it wasn't. About 10 episodes ago I became resigned to the fact that the series wasn't going to answer all the questions it had been asking over the last 6 seasons. I think that the show was never about the answers but was more about the characters and their responses to the questions. Once I accepted that, I started enjoying the last season a lot more.

there's my 2 cents, not that you asked. which you should have. I mean not everything is about you is it?

Lost but with Cats

Just when you think nothing can beat google pac-man, someone throws in cats re-enacting Lost. Enjoy this before the season finale ruins everything and all the nerds revolt.

To be fair, names are hard
