Abandoned American Theme Parks →
I hate to be Mr. Rebloggyman lately, but WOW. This is both amazing and incredibly sad. Especially because I went to one of these parks as a kid (Rocky Point). Really interesting stuff.

BBC News - Review: The final episode of Lost →
I’ve had to wait a few days to read this, but complete agreement here. So, a big “me too!” here…
mattgriffin:
The BBC reviewer clearly gets it. It was comforting to read, having come across some ridiculous misinterpretations.
“Drink lots of water, play with your kid every chance you get, and quit Facebook...”
– The latest gem from Merlin. There’s much more to it so go read the rest. NOW!
Uh oh.
I was busy having a fun in Disneyland, so I didn’t realize the events which lead to our quick demise started yesterday. Sorry for the delay in reporting.
George Lucas writes letter to Lost producers →
I think what I like best about this is that Damon Lindelof felt obliged to respond with, “I just want to apologize to Mr. George Lucas for everything I said about the prequels.”

– Merlin takes KFC to the mat with this well written piece.

WatchLast night, we got got some free tickets to Aaron Kwok at the Encore here in Las Vegas.
It wasn’t nearly as weird as I thought it would be, pretty much a watered down Michael Jackson. His shows are usually meant for arenas, so we got the small kit as it was not a large theatre.
John Huntington’s piece on the quality of live sound has never been so true, though.
Cory Doctorow, You Are A Consumer, Too →
I was going to write up my own response to Cory’s article, but Joel Johnson completely echoed my feelings (including the props to Doctorow). The always great Gruber also had his take over at Daring Fireball. Between the two of them, who needs to hear from me?!

Way Wrong Zero
MM defends his turf in a very well thought out and graceful manner. I’m definitely in his camp and the other side is clearly looking for traffic and not thought nor discussion.

Since Sitepoint’s being poky about posting my comment on this ill-conceived corn bolus on the “myth” of Inbox Zero, I’m pasting my response here.
For posterity and whatnot.
