'LOST'

“Lost” has been such a satisfying series to watch that I don’t care much how it ends. The (now iconic) moments they’ve had over the years have been great. I know a ton of people are watching, wanting to find out the secrets to mysteries, and I want to know too. But for the most part I’m enjoying the journey.

There may be spin-offs or other related mysteries about this island with a different cast, but for now, in this moment, in this story, I’m enjoying the moment before it’s gone.

This idea cracks me up: paying your kids to play videogames. I think this psychology experiment will work!

eBooks

http://bit.ly/9FvLRU   Many book publishers will go bankrupt. Not because people stop reading, but because of their refusal to change.

Publishers used to find readers for their books, says Seth Godin. Instead, they should be finding books for their readers. You can hear more of his interview with The Reading Edge here.

Tsunami Videos

With all of the major earthquakes happening this week I ran across this collection of Tsunami vids from YouTube.  Amazing/scary stuff.  I read a lot of news during the 2004 tragedy but I don’t remember seeing these before.

Anyone living on the western part of the U.S. (near the ocean or Yellowstone) should have three days of food and water stored up just in case!

That Unmistakable Streepness

http://nyti.ms/b7gQqG   There’s just something about Meryl Streep that sets her in a category above her peers.

I think she hasn’t won an Academy Award in so long because she is so good she’s in her own category.  And she’s never had a “comeback” role because she never left.

If I were in charge I’d give her a lifetime achievement award and bar her from being nominated.  Then I’d have her hand out the award each year to the winner.

Dawn Treader news

http://bit.ly/aTn5od

Some news is coming out about “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” and it looks like they were more faithful to the book than “Prince Caspian” was.  I’m looking forward to the movie!

rebranding Mickey Mouse

http://bit.ly/3sgCOb

Things are always changing, and keeping up with consumers’ tastes is challenging, even for Disney. Mickey Mouse strikes me as a tired, dated icon and I’m intrigued with the rebranding and what they are going to come up with to compete in today’s marketplace.

status updates per minute

http://tcrn.ch/aDAtuP   If you add the Facebook status updates sent when the American’s tied the hockey game and when Canada won the gold, it turns out to be about 3.5 million.

Check out the graph from TechCrunch.  Pretty impressive.
