Dharma Initiative

Just wanted to let you all know that the Dharma Initiative website, www.dharmawantsyou.com is up and running and ready for you to test. Some of you may have taken the initial test but the "real" test is up as of early this morning/late last night. It may take you a few times to load the page because of traffic. Enjoy!!!

The Economeatball

To be honest, I don't have too many tie-ins to this (I voted for Walt), but in the spirit of giving the people what they want– nay– demand, I will oblige.

Sayid, or as his fellow castaways call him, "that iraqi dude", is smart and probably as good a leader as Jack. He's often found fixing things and has an expansive knowledge of some highly useful things. Just as "that giant dude" (aka Alex) is skilled in the ways of Flash, putting together push images, Sayid pieces together a broken transceiver with spare airplane parts. How handy they both are. Sayid is haunted by a cat from his past, Alex has a haunted cat. Sayid has a tan and a funny accent, so does Alex (j/k)! They're both pretty level-headed and liked by all. And please, let's not forget the similarity in flowing curly locks… Good people of Lostville, please give a hearty island hand to: Saylexid (total alien name). (Sorry Dirk, I know you wanted to be Sayid.)

New Poll – Adam

There is a new character poll for our good 'ol boss' son, Adam. Yes the choice might prove to be a little hard.

But as always rock the vote please.

New Poll

There's a new character poll for our newest addition, lil' meatball (aka Alex Lopez).

Rock the vote please.

'Black Smokers' Found Off Arctic

This may be a stretch, but hey nobody is reading this blog anymore anyway, right? Hope this isn't too nerdy…

According to this article, some scientist have found "jets of searingly hot water spewing up from the ocean floor over in the far-northern zone of the Arctic Ocean". They are calling these "black smokers", and the first thing I thought of was the black smoke monster from LOST. They are calling these hydrothermal vents, "black smokers", because of the bilious clouds of material emitted from their chimneys.

The article goes on to say that the scientists are discovering: "new weird, resilient microbial life forms that live in these clusters, feeding off flecks of gold and other minerals from Earth's interior".

So then I had to read up a little more on Microbial Life and I came across "Microbial Intelligence" which is the intelligence shown by microorganisms. What, they have intelligence? I went on to read "it has been suggested that a bacterial colony loosely mimics a biological neural network. The bacteria can take inputs in form of chemical signals, process them and then produce output chemicals to signal other bacteria in the colony". Hmmmmmm…

… and yes I know there are other predictions on what smokey really is, but I thought this would make a good excuse to post something.
