Lost

I love my Kyocera 7135 phone, which is a combination of a cell phone and a Palm based PDA...

What, you might be wondering, does this have to do with the title?

Oh, no, it doesn't mean you LOST your phone, does it?

No, I still have it.

What it has to do with the title is that one of the features I regularly use on the phone is the Avantgo application, which allows me to view selected content from "the web" on the PDA. Avantgo organizes its content by channels.

So, did I lose my Avantgo somehow?

No, it is working fine.

One of the Avantgo channels I enjoy is the SciFi channel, and in particular, the SciFi Wire News.

So, by now you're probably lost reading this...

Hang on... almost there...

The SciFi channel is liberal in its definition of what is valid material for inclusion in the SciFi Wire News - and one of the things it often includes is material on the TV show "Lost."

Aha!

While reading an item today, I was reminded that Lost has a number of interesting alternative media tie-ins including the alternate reality game "The Lost Experience." For some really good background information on Lost and various links, check out the Lost Wikipedia article.

It takes a while to find all of the Easter Eggs, but the Oceanic Airlines site is pretty cool too.

One that I don't think is mentioned on Wikipedia is the DriveShaft site.

There are loads more, a few Googles and you'll be up to your ears.

Be careful... once you start down this trail, one site will lead to the next, which will lead to the next, and before you know it, you're lost...
