Just a heads up everybody - Locke is in The Rocketeer. Bonus - he plays Howard Hughes.
Lost cast spotting is the new Wire cast spotting. I can accept these actors in other roles, it just feels like Locke had a small part on the Rocketeer instead of Terry O’Quinn.
AMAZING TRUE STORIES FROM LUNCH
Right as I was getting ready to pay, the Chipotle manager told me my meal was on the house. I asked why and he said, “I want to show you that Chipotle is the best!” I didn’t quite understand what he was getting at but then he pointed at my shirt. I very honestly told him that while pizza was #1 in my heart, there would always be room for Chipotle.
Thanks for helping me score a free lunch, BustedTees!
For this week’s Bleep Bloop I recorded some of my coworkers playing the excellent puzzle game Limbo while wearing the brainwave-measuring Star Wars Force Trainer on their heads.
Though at one point I told Streeter he had the fastest time through the demo, I was mistaken. This is surprising, because I’m obviously a very precise scientist.
Here are the official times:
Sarah - 21:53
Jake - 27:13
Alex - 30:52
Streeter - 31:14
And yet, Sarah looks the dumbest in the episode. Sorry Sarah!
Bleep Bloop - Star Wars Force Trainer II
We test the Star Wars Force Trainer in a highly scientific experiment that involving isolation, Limbo, and Project Runway.
Sarah wanted me to note that she had the fastest time through the Limbo demo.

This short essay is well worth reading, though I’m a little surprised the man who takes credit for inventing the Internet is still using RealVideo.
The Four Square tournament’s rules on custom rules state:
Making it into four square comes with the unique privilege of creating special rules which tailor the game play to your own style and help you to stay in four square longer. This is where most of the fun and complexity of game comes from. When in four square, the player may call specific rules which become part of the game at the beginning of each serve and last only for that round. After each round, she must call the rules again or it is considered that the rules fall back on the published Standards and no special rules apply. It is enough simply to say, “Same rules” or “Ditto” to let the other players know that the custom rules still apply to this round. Many of the special, silly, and ridiculous rules* would make it impossible to keep score in competitive game play. As a compromise, only the following custom rules may be used: *Special, silly, and ridiculous rules are encouraged during all non-league play, especially during the 1/2 hour warm up period at the start of each game.
