Random

It’s 10am and I’m trying to think of something clever to write.. Instead, I’m just going to write about completely random things that just happen to be on my mind at the moment.

First, does anyone else think that Dwight from the office is really weird??

Next, Sphere by Michael Crichton is a kick ass book. The movie sucked so bad I almost didn’t read the book. The book is phenomenal though. I highly recommend it to anyone even remotely interested in time dilation and special relativity, black holes, artificial intelligence and the profoundly negative ways in which people’s own minds shape their own versions of reality as a way of protecting themselves against their own fears.

Finally, for anyone who watches Lost, I have a theory about the enormous EMP that Desmond set off. When the Dharma initiative came to the island, the EMP was purposely installed as a failsafe in the event that the island was ever taken over (or something catastrophic happened). If someone wasn’t there to regularly enter the numbers, the EMP would be set off, causing a complete disruption in all incoming and outgoing communications with the island, effectively making the island lost forever. I also think that “the others” have found a way to use the island’s time dilation properties as a way of jumping in and out of which ever time periods they choose. That would explain why Ben’s #2 (I can’t remember his name) was able to go back in time and visit John Locke during his early childhood years.

That’s all for now.

P.s. My new favorite track: Above & Beyond – Far From In Love (Oliver Smith Late Night Dub)
