The Lost Experience Podcast Finale Part 3
A few of our faithful commenters have compiled a list of some of the most memorable moments from our time spent on this blog over the summer. THIS COMPILATION is a real keepsake for anyone familiar with TLEC (right-click, save-as to download). In addition to saving these memorable moments, you'll want to click HERE for Part 3 of our Podcast Finale (Timmy's mirror HERE) to hear Twinkle, Maven, FastenYourSeatbelts, and RyanDrumz talk to David & William about 8 Random Memories from each month of the Experience.
Finally, if you've ever wondered what it's like "behind the scenes" of a Lost Experience podcast, check out this video of David & William...

first?
hey actually I have a qucik question. I would like to start my own podcast and I am wondering how you get your podcast up on the iTunes server. Anyone out there know the answer? Thanks.
howienight,
Something like thisPODCASTING TUTORIAL might help. I had someone walk me through it step by step. Record, upload to a server (I use archive.org & ourmedia.org - both free), post to a blog (or anything with an RSS feed), subscribe to a feed publishing service (I use feedburner.com), register with itunes and tell them where your feed is coming from. Good luck!
Top ten! yea! Part 3!
YEAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! top ten. THATS my first!!!!!!!!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!
I was busy typing this in the old thread when this one went up, so copying it over here too-
Hey everybody!
First- Admin VERY nice job on the video. So, Maven and I teared up- anyone else- come on you know you're out there- admit it! Will listen to the podcast (sorry Apple) later.
Thrasher- exactly how many different avatars DID you have this summer? LOL And BTW, thanks for the shout out in the DJLena parody.
Dennis- that is so funny about the "creepy kids" pics on the WIA site! You have to admit, they were a little creepy.
Can't believe I was #27 on the comments. Wow- don't tell my hubby. It does however explain our family's frequent lack of clean clothes lately. hmmm
FYSB and everybody- Wow!! I saw the promo commercial last night, but didn't even recognize the voice - holy cow! Wonder how that will play out?
I am so pumped for season 3, I can't wait!
I think the more you comment, the more difficult your word verifications become....I used to get easy 5 letter ones, now I only get 9 letter ones with lots of q's , x's, and z's.

Twelve!!

I think I changed 10 to 12 times, I never really counted, but I did do it a lot, my very first one was the man standing with his arms outstretched, which I kept for a long time then it just seemed to spiral out of control until I settled on the one I use now. Although I have changed it time to time when the conversation merited it, like Pirate day.
I wanted to use as many names as I could with out it seeming over stupid. And like I said in the podcast I am sure I left some names out.
Oh and I am in the top 20!!! YAY me!
Thrash! Can you give me the url for the chat client???
hello everyone, I've been lurking through these last few updates but it's time for me to say a goodbye but it's not goodbye really, I'll be at TLC. I want to thank everyone for being a part of this community. I had never participated in a blog before TLE and I have to say the experience has be GREAT (rachel font intended).
I'm still upset that I missed "talk like a pirate" day because of a stupid biospy. I don't know why they make me do that it's been established for 5 years that I have cancer. That's the day I found out that I have to go back on chemo, why I haven't posted much lately, and that's why I'll be at TLC. It's not basketball season yet and usually B-ball is what gets me through chemo well now it will be TLC.
Thanks for all your well wishes and all the fun.
I'm REALLY (rachel font intended again) excited for S3 to start!!!!!
oh, the recap epi last night was great especially with fenry narrating
Admin,
Thanks for the link, it was very helpful. You were actually the inspiration for the podcast that I am hopeing to work on (not relating to lost). Anyway great work on this site and I'll see all of you over at the lost community site.
Admin,
Hey one more question? Where are you recording you podcast at? Did you rent some stuido time or is this at a university?
Kudos for the Memorable moments guys!! It was really cool to see some of the thigns we were talking about back in the begining and how some of them panned out to be true. There were so many great moments and some very funny and wity things said. I think we could take it on the road.
Oh and this is post 1438! I'm comin' for the top spot Belly!!!
Shellma - Sure it is Here
Thx man! And it's been a pleasure having so much fun with all of you crazies!!!!
Thasher,
Do you have a ranking of who was in the top 10 the most?
I have to say that ryandrumz's reenactment of the Rachel and Malik love notes was freakin' hilarious! I think I laughed so hard that nanites actually exploded my brain even as sprite was flying out of my nose.
There's quite a mess in my office now.
Glad you liked it FYSB...I haven't even heard it yet. I'm listening to Twinkle finish up now. Can't wait.
Twinkle, Great job compiling all our info in that PDF...Looks awesome
i went back to the first post, and the first comment EVER was:
Lostaway Bonnie said...
Cool blog! Thanks for setting it up!
5/03/2006 01:11:43 PM
TLCM: That's really big news! We'll be here for you and I bet there are others who've gone through chemo or know loved ones who have. There are a couple people in my family. Anyway, we'll be here!
About the memories compilation, Admin did the awesome pdf format. I only got him the raw material. Capcom got her name on the doc because even though she didn't have her stuff ready in time, she was working. Maybe we can post later some of the stuff she found.
Sean: You'd think so, but things were crazy back then with people switching back and forth between threads posting. Tapdawg's comment is actually the earliest comment by date. But you're right, Lostaway Bonnie is the first comment on Post #1.
Sean,
Twinkle had it right...Go back again and look at the dates...
tapdawg said...
check it out
go to the website and use the password "breaking strain" for the joop comments as well as for the newsletter password... have fun!

Cool blog! Thanks for setting it up!

howienight,
That's where I had the hookup. I'm on staff at a pretty awesome church. I was able to use our a/v equipment whenever I liked. I don't think it would be too difficult to figure out how to record using software on any normal PC though.
oh yeah. i didnt even realize the dates. i guess you must have had a few posts that day.
now i feel guilty that i didnt go through all those comments looking for statistics.
Also officially - THANK YOU!!! to everyone who helped compile the memories doc, FYSB, Maven, Ryandrumz, and Scoutpost. It was a monumental idea to skim through all the old posts and comments to capture the essence of why we loved this community. The material for the document was compiled from Saturday night through Wednesday night. That's an amazing amount of data to surf in just 4 days! We had to leave sooo much out! You all ROCK for doing this with me!
Secondly, thanks for giving us so much material TLEC-ers! There's a wide variety of names quoted from in the document. If we missed your favorite moment or comment, know that we still appreciated it. And I can't wait to see what memories we'll form from TLC and SotL!
**sap off**
Admin, one question I had for you was, when youth group started up again, what did your "kids" think about your summer exploits?
sean:: LOL! Or you should be glad you were spared! ;-)
Dennis - I think Belly had made one once before. Since I am not very busy I can put one together for you guys. But you have to get me a shrubery!! And for your amusement!
King Arthur: Old woman.
Dennis: Man.
King Arthur: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?
Dennis: I'm 37.
King Arthur: What?
Dennis: I'm 37. I'm not old.
King Arthur: Well I can't just call you "man".
Dennis: Well you could say "Dennis".
King Arthur: I didn't know you were called Dennis.
Dennis: Well you didn't bother to find out did you?
King Arthur: I did say sorry about the "old woman", but from behind you looked...
Dennis: What I object to is you automatically treat me like an inferior.
King Arthur: Well I am king.
Dennis: Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
Sorry, thrasher, no more jokes. We've already published the memories document. ;-) LOL!
I found my very first post...
Thrasher76 said...
There has to be some usefulness to some of the clues we already have but have no place to use them. Such as Rachel, Safe M or whatever it is. Keep digging...the book might lead to some answers or be a dead end...going to go buy it now...5/12/2006 02:33:39 PM
Who could have thought that many of the clues would go unsed...
I am currently doing a count on the number of times people said "first"...so far the first account of someone saying it was Clue #44 Acts4Food said...I just wanted to be the first comment on a new clue
I am not sure who did it before but they could do it again, can you, whoever you are, compile the number of avitars people used???? Please????
I just wanted to tell every1 how great theve been on this blog through out the last few months. Every1's been os helpful and such. Thats for a GREAT summer and i hope to see you all on TLC!!!
There lies in the Ocean an island which is called The Lost. In Charm and all kinds of fertility it far surpasses every other land, but it is unknown to men. Now and again it may be found by chance; but if one seeks it, it cannot be found, and therefore it is called The Lost.
Honorius of Autun, De Imagine Mundi, about AD 1130
Hi Guys
I'm back!
Just listened to Part ! of the podcast - cool
Twinkle - glad you liked my little puzzle ;)

sean said...
I heard somewhere that Dharma means
D=4th letter of alphabet
H=8th '' '' ''
R=18th-the 2 A's dhArmA which is 16
M=13+2 A's=15
just a theory

ryan - I am not sure, I was going through looking at some of my first posts and that was one from back in May...
Guys,
Just read the memorable moments - brillaint work - thanks
Now time to listen to part 3 of the podcast
i dont feel like goin through all da comments any other way i can???
Ok...finished reading all the "best of" comments. Whew! Good stuff though...
Thank You Twinkle, FYSB, Maven, Ryandrumz, and Scoutpost!!!!
Now, just gotta finish listening to the podcasts, and the "behind the scenes" video... I'm not gonna get any work done today... :)
BTW, How would I figure out when my first post was? Would I have to search through the 145+ clues?
Hey Dallas people...
I posted this on the last thread, then realized we switched over.
A few of us will be getting together over the season for some LOST viewing parties. If you're interested in joining us, let me know. (You can post your interest here, goodness knows with 600+ posts I'm here often or email me at leeannji at excite dot com) I'll post this at TLC as well.
Dennis said...BTW, How would I figure out when my first post was? Would I have to search through the 145+ clues? I went back to when I thought I first posted and found it was at the first weeks recap or something like that...then I was hooked like a crack addict!!
Hey Lars
It's not to join in TLE may be over but Season 3 of lost is starting next week and we'll all be over at the Lost Community blog.
I pretty much lurked until about a month ago - 11 post and then bam and now I can't stop posting. I could't believe that I was #30 on the posters list!

thrasher76 said... Monty Python Quote...
That's so funny...I posted the same thing in the Post Experience Fun yesterday.
I changed the age to 35 though, since I'm 35. :)
thrasher76 said... But you have to get me a shrubery!!
DENNIS: A what?
THRASHER: Nee! Nee!
DENNIS: Oh, ow!
DENNIS: Please, please! No more! We shall find a shrubbery.
THRASHER: You must return here with a shrubbery or else you will never pass through this wood alive!
DENNIS: O Thrasher, you are just and fair, and we will return with a shrubbery.
THRASHER: One that looks nice.
DENNIS: Of course.
THRASHER: And not too expensive.
DENNIS: Yes.
THRASHER: Now... go!
Out of complete nostalgia I have returned to my first an original avitar!
Hey Thrasher, Dennis great to hear a bit of Python. I'm of to see the Holy Grail up in London in November.

You would have to ask Admin...
Speaking off asking him a question....
(shooting email off now)
Okay finally listened to the podcast.
Nice scoop finally getting Andy/Speaks on.
Also great to hear everyone.
55K+ comments. Lol. Nice. Still a pitty I didn't get in the top 20. Lol. Just give me a word count version and see where I end up ;)
Great work as always. You know, I just wanna say my voice was recorded really badly. Lol. Not good for a sound guy, but hey, I was being lazy and I don't like recording myself at the best of times.
how can u get his e-mail and if i cant could u ask him for me???
whoa. speaker. wasn't expecting you.
Always a difficult one when someone asks you to prove who you are. Can I prove who I am, um no
but - little secret - I've posted here under four different names ;)
OK...I found my first post...not bad only took me about 12 minutes....
My first post was on 5/08/2006 05:48:28 PM (I can't believe it's been almost 5 months!)
It was Clue #27 - the infamous Persephone SAFE-G morse code hack (and the first post to break 200 comments!)
I won't bore you with the post, it's rather long, me blabbing about morse code...
Belly - I'm not sure how to take your comment that my voice can cause people to slip into coma's.
ROFLMAO!
But thanks anyway...uh, I think.
It was cool to hear everyone. :)
This game may have ended but the true experience of this Lost community will continue. And that is what I look forward to the most.
(end sappy moment)
am, the email is on the main page of TLEC....
k thx
You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called "Arthur King," you and all your silly English K-nig-hts.
dam thrasher a little rough dont ya think also agelofdarkness:nice audio
Dark Angel said...great to hear a bit of Python. I'm of to see the Holy Grail up in London in November.
That sounds cool.
I have some great Monty Python links:
• Complete transcripts of Monty Pyhon's Flying Circus
• Monty Python and the Holy Grail transcript
Hey Fenris - I thought you had a great speaking voice, nice to hear another Brit on the podcast.
Thanks Dennis
Oh and Hi Speaker
haha matt the pale sounds weird
Thanks Belly and too all...
Fenris - I was so thinking about that. You don't have the most comments, but you comments are LONG...
After reading through Sept. comments I would have to say the funniest person of all was FYSB. The smartest person in Sept. would go to Fenris...
HEY SPEAKER!!! I need me a pair of those sweet glasses...Where did you get those...LOL
yes agreed, very well done indeed. You guys realy put forth the effort to make this a great place and get people involved.
I was right there with Belly in the beginning of the game, telling everyone to read before posting, it was frustrating until you let it go... lol
Didn't expect Speaker. Good get, and Hi Speaker thanx for putting up my pic with the giant Apollo Bar that WIA rejected for no reason at all. Keep up the good wotk so to speak.
David, sorry I couldn't get a message recorded. I think it's a good thing considering the time constraints you had.
Oh and by the way BELLY,
just remember that funeral is an anagram for
REAL FUN... lol
Well Guys
I'm off to bed, catch you in the Morning
Belly, it was funny when you brought up wizadry_eas...I totally remember him. He was very smart...Then he fell off the map. Same with antecedent, he did make a come-back post which was cool
Wizadry...If you are there, say hello man...or girl.
Holy Grail...I actually have this on Netflix at my house right now...I had to get my fix...NI NI NI NI NI NI NI NI (man, where's that shrubery)
Hi again all! Trying to listen to the podcast now...can't wait judging on what you all have said about it!
I didn't get to send in a recording due to technical difficulties- SO I would just like to say: despite a few complaints with the ARG itself, this summer was great fun- and like everyone has already said it is because of this community that the summer will be so memorable. Thanks to all the Admins, and to David for starting this whole baby up in the first place! I've learned how to do a lot of cool things on the computer this summer- thanks to everyone for helping me to embrace my inner geek! Looking forward to TLC- see you all there!
Hope that was 60 sec. or less- if not, then just go back and read it faster. hehe
Just to let everyone here know the message board is officially SHUTDOWN for the overhaul to The Lost Community Message Board
GO teal'c
It should be up and running again within 24 - 72 hours depending on how smoothly the change over goes.
See ya there
DeD
That memories podcast made looking through 16,400 comments well worthwhile! Everyone did a great job in finding the moments that really defined this community.
It is so cool to hear everyone's voices...makes this seem more real!
Big thank you to Twinkle for thinking of doing this and formatting all of our notes.
Thanks!
And a huge thank you to Admin for formatting the pdf! The green layout is soo cool! He didn't even give himself credit!
DarkAngel - thanks! There are a few of us Brits around TLEC, although some are only occasional posters (like Willow) and some just live in the chat room (Pzy and Diss come to mind). But anyway, good to see the UK represented well in the podcast.
Ryan - Thanks :)
I'm not really clever. I just think too much.
hehe.
So I'm just now listening to Part 3. Didn't realize I took so long. Sorry! Maven, you are correct. The large post in July with 932 or so comments is the largest in the whole TLEC history. The smallest post was one in May near the beginning that ended up with 1.
Thanks, Javy. ;-)
You just seemed to be one of the icons at the time I joined. I know other people have changed their name. I did. But I caught yours in the comments and it struck me as funny. Especially in light of all the alternate names people came up with on Talk Like a Pirate Day. :-D
Hey, everyone! Capcom was working on a selection of people saying goodbye that she wasn't able to get to me before I needed to send it to Admin. I have it now and since it's short I'm going to post it in the comments here. I really appreciate her searching through the last few weeks worth of comments, paying attention to all our sappy stuff. Thanks, Capcom!
Capcom's Goodbye List
Boyo81: Because at the end of the day, it seems to be the discussion and research that we all actually enjoy, not some idiot actress pretending she is all over the world, when the budget clearly only allows her to go as far as the LA city border.
Shakey: I'm just popping in to say goodbye. It's been a pleasure contributing to this community and storming our brains on what all this means, but I'm afraid, as with many of us, WIA.com was the last straw and I officially no longer care.
Jess4ua: Despite the ending of the ARG, I'm glad we had the game. I haven't done anything like this in a long time, and it was a lot of fun. And most important, I have sooo many new friends.
Peaceandnamaste: And thanks to EVERYONE that's been a part of TLEC's community, i've had such an awesome time chatting with you guys, it's been so much fun.. *sniff*.. I think I might be getting sen-tee-men-tal.. ;)
Aui: Hello people! I guess you don't remember me. I've been lurking the experience since sometime in the summer. I just want you all to know that this experience has become something i will never forget.
Maven: Wow...I think I'm shedding a tear or two watching that video! Those memories are great!
Dedjezter: You all did a great job with this blog and it without a doubt the best one out there for this game, it was always easy to follow and the people here have been simply amazing.
Ular: Big Thanx to those who worked so hard to make our summer special with the game, our great meeting place, and your many talents. I am only one among many who appreciates you and your endeavors. To the others who have been faithful players here, I have enjoyed the conversations without the spam and ego's, or arguing so many other sites have. You are a special group that I hope to remain in contact with when everyone switches over.
Cyberyang: Admin-Thanks for all your hard work with this site.(and everyone else who contributes) I can honestly say that TLEC has greatly enhanced the whole experience.
----
So nice to not say good-bye. See you later at TLC and SotL!
Ryan: Just got to your rendition of the Love Letters! I was sooo hoping you'd use falsetto! Awesome!
Twinkle: Lucky me to get the longest post in TLEC history in the month I went through!
Admins: Now that the last Podcast is up and the Memory List...I do hate to ask this, but....when do we all "officially" move over to TLC? (I'm finding that me and some others are starting to post the same things in both places.) Are you going to put up a Post that says: One, two, three...go to The Lost Community! lol I'm assuming that TLEC will stay up forever, right?
Out of curiosity I went back and found I didn't make a comment until May 24th! Took me that long to get up the courage. I guess I posted once and then couldn't stop! Scrolling through the May comments brought back so many names I haven't seen in quite a long time.
Speaker did a live radio interview tonight and I missed it. Anyone grab the feed and record it? If so, I sure would like to download, HElp and Thanks!
http://blogs.abc.com/inside_the_experience/
I have one more thing to say tonight before I head off.
I have a lot of great memories from the experience and really I have gotten so much more out of it then I ever thought imaginable. I don't think I could even possibly explain it. Aside from anything else it's been a bit of an internal journey for me too. Perhaps one day I'll even look back and say it was life changing. Who knows.
Seem excessive? Maybe, but it's true. So despite whatever negativity I have expressed about things and the frustrations I have vented, this has been really special.
Okay that's it. Night all. If this is the final thread then this will probably be my final post here so just wanted to leave that thought. :)
fenris, sleep well. And no, not excessive. We all all trying to find our way. Lost helps us become less Lost :)
Belly, et.al., My favorite things in The Holy grail are:
"How do you know she's a witch?"
"Wot, she turned me into a newt!"
And the killer bunny!!!!!!! :-)
Now I'll go to bed singing, "We're knights of the round table..."!
P.S. I found lots more warm and fuzzy posts from our blogs that I sent later to Twinkle, in case she can use them. Not even close to a complete representation of everyone who expressed their fond feelings towards the TLEC Admins and blog colleges, (blogeges?), but a fair share. There were tons more in the archives that I didn't get too. Bottom line, everyone here (regulars, lurkers, and visitors alike) appreciates the civilized atmosphere of communication and the lengths that the Admins went to, to keep everything that happened in TLE on the front page ASAP so that no one missed anything that happened in the game. A veritable mutual admiration society. :-) Very much unlike many other TLE blogs, as was also expressed. General consensus......TLEC gets the ARG Oscar! :-)
Capcom: Thanks! I just checked my mail. I'm adding them here, even though it's long. Thanks for all that work! And again this isn't an exhaustive list, just a sampling.
Goodbye List Continued
Oxillini: there are other forums, but this is the only community.
Maven: Great work everyone! Just proves how TLEC community all works together.
Maven: Can't wait to meet some TLECrs!
Peaceandnamaste: I've been reading the comments on 'other' blogs about TLE, and I was shocked at the amount of arguing, abuse, and just general spam.... People seem intent on just posting gibberish and stuff... I love you TLEC lol … But we're still learning alot about the LOST mythology, and having a good time in the process.
Thinbluemime: Belly, David, and Administrators, THANK YOU for you contribution, long suffering, and endless hours...you know we love you guys!!
Fenris: TLECs great. I posted the same thing in ITE and the only reply I got was the Wolfe.
Fenris: Given this was the first site I found I don't even know if I'd have really been part of the experience at all without this site, so thank you!
Ryandrumz: I hate when they take this game to myspace. Can't get it from work...But I always have you guys..
Dixxee: Glad to have had the opportunity to meet TLCM and Dennis at the event, nice to meet others who's family looked at them as nutty too!!!
Dark Angel: See you guys - great working out the truth with such an intelligent bunch of guys and girls.
Fastenyourseatbelts: i love this dialog by the way. you guys are freakin' smart.
Thrasher76: Had a great time at the Philly event!!! Met up with Adelphiadella and Cattygirl, both were super awesome!!!
Joann: Admin (David) thanks for staying up late and working on posting the podcast!
Lockebox: Thanks to all the Losties out there that made this summer pass so quickly! Thanks, TLEC. You rocked it like none other.
Dedjezter: I did however like the connections made and friends aquired, while playing and haveing a great time on-line and at real world events. This has been an EXPERIENCE and a pleasure to do it all with all of us involved.
Pharmacopaeia: ... but from New Zealand, arohanui (big love) to this community.
Congested: I had a good time tonight guys, but you all are what made the night, not TLE. Looking forward to seeing this community grow on the new blog and stories of the lost.
Patchwork3930: David, thank you SO much for posting the podcast. I was so sad that I couldn't get it to work and missed the whole thing.
Thanks for everything over the last few months. You guys made it fun even in the boring bits, and it was so nice to meet so many good people too.
Lostgrrl: And of course, after we have made such great connections, we couldn't possibly just let them drop after Game was over....so, along with this blog's new LOST Community Blog, we will once again have a companion message board!
Love pirate 77: I just gotta say thanks to everyone who made this so enjoyable.
Ellador: Cheers to all of you. You've brought joy to my lurking self.
Shrodes: Anti-climactic indeed. …but this game's been great nonetheless. Thanks to all involved in the site, and working out the clues.
Raphael: I mostly lurked but was contantly amazed by the game and the people of TLEC.
Cattygirl: Admin - you have made this my one stop for all things TLE. Thanks.
Your Mother: Thanks to all of the admins that put this blog together. Thanks to the Dallas people who made the ABC event worth going …. and thanks to everyone on this blog.
Chelsea: This is my fare thee well. Thank you admin for bringing us all together.
Belly0fdesire: Good morning everyone... It's been a blast, really... a lot of fun playing this game with you all. Twinkle... always got a kick out of your jokes and enjoyed helping you come up with some.
Belly0desire: GROUP HUG!
Scoutpost: Despite all the frustrations with the ARG, I've decided to focus on the positive…… THIS COMMUNITY of people! It was such fun reading all the theories, joking around, competing in trivia, late nite chats.
Superdifey: I certainly didn't post as often as I liked, but this was a great community, and as I have said before, thanks to Admin, Belly & Thrasher for making this such a fab place to spend my summer!!
Twinkle: GO LOSTIE GIRLS!!!
Babarajay: You guys are great and I plan to hang around for TLC. I used to hang out on a couple of other LOST message boards before but never found the calm, welcoming, and smart atmosphere of TLEC.
MEGS! its been a long time! where've you been?
well, ive been lurking for about 10 minutes.
so. how are you. you just disappeared.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
hey. maybe we should talk on aim. just like the good ol' days.
I miss the days where sean and megs would sit here and talk about stuff...not even about the game. You two used to crack me up.
Nice to see ya again
You two are a match-made-in-heaven...
Ya know, ryan...I was just thinking the same thing! Megs and Sean, you guys always used to be at the end of posts just chatting away with each other! Just like the old days! Welcome back, Megs!
Hey all! Just now got caught up on the podcast and video...
FANTASTIC JOB! WHOOOHOOO!!
(btw...TEAM lena and "lena" are the same person wink wink...would make my final post tally 714!) LOL sorry and it dont matter but just thought I would go look after you guys brought up twinkles two names :)
Here is the song and video Speaker had as his intro on the Podcast...
Weird Al is so funny...Bear with me. First time posting a real link.
White and Nerdy by Weird Al
Sorry David, but I couldn't resist...
Guys want to see David in his new action feature!!! Check it out. I searched David Penuel on youtube and came across this...(I was really looking for the podcast "behind the scenes" and the TLE tribute video to see the comments) Hope you enjoy. It's hilarious...And if this has already been brought up, Sorry...
Penuel Newlyweds - Part 1
When is part 2 coming out???
I think you're in BIG trouble, ryan! LOL
Wow, David and Mrs. David...the acting is just awesome!
And, ryan: Thanks for the link to the White and Nerdy video. Weird Al is one of our favs!
wow. i loved that Mr. and Mrs. Penuel thing. It brought back memories of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, except the're not killing eachother.
i wonder what movie those chase sequences were taken from.
It was from Lethal Weapon 4....Glad you guys liked it.
David, please don't put me in time-out...LOL
Omg, ryandrumz, that is too hilarious. Entertaining AND I got to learn all about marriage. Thanks David!!!
THANKEE THANKEE THANKEE
to all you guys and gals at
LostExperience...
WHAT a trip it has been!
Hope we can journey again together!
Working for the demise of Mittlewerk,
crisbaj
Well guys,
I'm in work early and I thought I'd just do one last post while your're all asleep :)
Just remember this isn't the end it's just just the end of the first page of the first chapter of the great TLC book :)
See you on the other side
Over and out
DA
I didn't realize how long I was a lurker here until I went back to find my first comment and it wasn't until July. It was when I got excited and thought I had actually found a clue watching Kyle XY.... here it is:
"Did anyone else see the commercial during Kyle XY? Toward the end of Kyle XY (ABC Family) that really looks like something for the game. It gave this link.... http://madacorp.com and the "tone" of the commercial had the same feel as the Hanso commercials. There is a "employee locator" which may lead to something. I haven't figured it out."
I even emailed it in but received a polite response to let me know that it was not "in game."
One thing I notice was as time went on, how the main page of the blog became more colorful with picture and such. And in the comments, people started using avatars... and many of them changed. I know it took me a while to figure out how to do one so others must have done the same.
The thing I like best about this blog over other TLE site is how easy it is to read the comments and how they are not full of nonsence like the others.
Oh my... didn't notice how late it was... way past bed time. Nite all.
Oh... and I used one of the new computer skills I learned here to find myself... Control F. Not only has this been fun but educational!
Hello there! I think everyone should check Javi's answers to my questions in his live journal:
http://hansofoundation.livejournal.com/2452.html?thread=104340#t104340
I think the answer to 10 is particular enlightening...
Hey,
so much for my final post here - Lost in Portugal - that was a great set of questions and answers - especially number 10! We got that one right on TLEC :)
dark angel: Thanks! Just posted some more questions that I forgot to add to my previous post. I really hope Javi answers them :)
I've gotten so use to coming into work and opening up my email then firefox that I can't seem to break the habit. I think I'm a TLC addict.
Today is "ask a stupid question" day and since I missed "talk like a pirate" day I thought I'd put in a question
does anyone remember how to use an iron anymore?
I was trying to iron my son's shirt last night because he has a wedding this weekend and I kept swinging the thing around but it just wouldn't work.............
tlcm
If I remember correctly, the thing has to be plugged in......to the USB port to work properly ;)
Good morning Losties! Anything new and exciting going on in the comments this morning?
also, tlcm, check to make sure the dial is turned to "stun".
***David's Sappiness/Announcement***
Wow guys! It's fun to see all the "wrap up" convos going on lately...I agree that it's nice to see Megs & Sean flirting again! :) I think we'll leave this thread up UNTIL WEDNESDAY and then we'll do one more post directing people to THELOSTCOMMUNITY.COM and STORIESOFTHELOST.COM. I am so grateful and touched by all the support that has been poured out towards myself and the other administrators of this blog over the last few days. The community that has developed here has literally been a dream come true. You guys have thanked me a lot lately but truly, all of the credit goes to you...it is easy to do the facilitating when there is such a brilliant, diverse, and beautiful group of people doing all the participating. It was a blessing to participate with you all this summer.
I wanted to let everyone know that I'll be around off and on today and then tomorrow I am leaving to go out of town on a short vacation to celebrate my ONE YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY (Ryan, thank you very much for sharing that video with everyone). Immediately after that, I will be traveling to a work-related conference in Atlanta (Much like the one Jim, Michael, and Dwight attended on last night's episode of the Office). I will not have access to a computer until Tuesday evening and then will have limited access until next Friday. Don't worry, I'll be sure to get a post up next Wednesday on TLC. Don't worry, I'm not disappearing...I very much look forward to engaging with this community on a regular basis as Season 3 develops.
Okay...***end of Sappiness/Announcement***
Hey David
Congratulations on your first Wedding Anniversary and have fun celebrating - some things are even more important than Lost (wow- did I really just say that!)
Congrats David!
Happy Anniversary David! May it be the first of many, many more! Even with all the responsibilities you must have with TLEC, you always put your family first! Let that be a lesson to all of us! (Oh, I have a family?)
Hey David- Happy Anniversary! 1 down, 74 more to go! Seriously, wishing you many more happy years.
Just wanted to say, feeling better today, sorry I fell through for the podcast- but it turned out really great. Thanks for doing those, it would've been enough just to have the blog, but the podcasts were the icing on the cake. Thanks again!
maven said...
(Oh, I have a family?)
I do have to remind myself of this from time to time!
Last night I was thinking...(I know dangerous)...but watching the posts slow down and remembering back to June and July, it is really hard to break this addiction/habit. What am I going to do when this is all over- not just the ARG, but the show? I'm going to need some serious therapy!
Scoutpost: Glad to hear you're feeling better!
Yeah, this habit it definitely hard to break. I feel a real need to "check in" each morning...hoping against hope that there's actually something new! Well, that will change after next Wednesday! I just have a big desire to stay in touch with all of you...just things like wishing David a Happy Anniversary and hearing Scoutpost is better, and seeing names I haven't seen in a while checking in...it's very comforting! This addiction to stay a part of this community is something I'm not ashamed of!
maven said...
(Oh, I have a family?)
At least we know you have a cat!
Engineer: LOL! I actually have 3 cats! And...oh, yeah...a husband, a son and daughter-in-law!
maven: Make sure you thank them all for letting us borrow you this summer!
engineer: :)
Just in case anybody's interested, I posted this question on Javi's blog...
In Rachel's first video, she receives a mysterious phone call that clearly upsets her.
So, who was on the line, how did he/she know how to reach her and what did he/she say?
And this is the *sigh* response...
that shall forever remain... shrouded in secrecy!
hello everyone, I am so excited for season three. Hi maven!
who is that guy chaodai answering the questions on Javier Grillo-Marxuach's blog?
Season 3 is going to be really cool. The preview for next week had me jumping up and down!
Hey engineer27... did you ever tell us what the 27 means in your name? You said you use it a lot at work? My daughter... also an engineer... says she uses 27 all the time too to convert cubic feet to cubic yards. What type engineer are you?
happy aniversary, david.
just make sure that you drive. lol.
joann: Wow! Someone really cares!
I'm an elcetrical engineer, and I do integrated circuit design for a living. The basic electronic device I design with is a diode, which is what you get when you put two different kinds of semiconductor together. One has an excess of electrons, and the other has a lack of them, so when you put them together, the free electrons all jump from one side to the other. The resulting electric field creates a voltage (or "electrical potential") which depends on the temperature, the charge of the electron, and Boltzmann's Constant. At room temperature, it's about 25.9 millivolts, but it gets pretty hot here in South Florida, so I use 27.
As I said previously, the ones you all came up with were a lot more interesting (although I'm still not sure about Rusty Wallace).
Anyway, thanks for asking. Hope someone is still around to read this!

Don't know if UR still here, but that sounds like a good way to work off the Apollo Bars!
Hey, Christine! Long time no "see"! Welcome back!
FYSB: Yeah, some of Javi's answers leave a lot to be desired, don't they? Probably they don't know the answers because it's something they just "threw in" for effect! Like he says there's no Part 8 & 9 of Gary Troup Interviews: They just scripted 1-6! Didn't they think we'd go crazy over these "details"?
Engineer27: Wow, if any integrated circuit and diode clues come up in TLE Part 2, we know who to call!
Engineer27, thanks for the explanation... very cool... my daughter is visiting this weekend and wanted me to ask. She understands what you are explaining about the semi conductors even though she is a civil engineer.
I was hoping my radio knowledge was going to help with the Elecromagnetic Research Institute clues, but we didn't ultimately need to know much detail about EM.
I was ready with references to James Clerk Maxwell, though!
joann: Your daughter does the really hard stuff. If my circuit's don't work, someone gets to say "Can you hear me now?" If her stuff doesn't work right, people can be seriously hurt.
BTW: Anyone notice how Lost is connected to everything? Think: Verizon, and balconies collapsing under Hurley.
Did everyone jump to a new thread and leave me behind? :-(
Well, if and when you all return, "Have a great weekend," and I'll see you in The Lost Community.
maven, I'm beginning to suspect your theory has more than a grain of truth: WV = ajnwwbgc
lockebox: If you want to come to South Florida, we're always looking for bright young circuit designers!
we don't do much astrophysics here... mostly cellphones and other mobile wireless.
Best of luck!
(Maybe you should call ABC. I hear they need consultants for "The Experience Continues....")
ular98: Actually, it's been scientifically proven that numbers in checkbooks don't obey the same laws as regular numbers found in the real world . . .
Oh, wait. Maybe that was numbers in restaurants? Somebody help me out here!
maven's curse continues...
WV: pxsqhxwm !!
I'm out of here too. Have a great weekend.
And--apologies. It was scoutpost's theory about how the more you post, the longer your WV's get, not maven's. Thanks, scoutpost (doh! -- asxwkedz)
Interesting work, Engineer27. At my lab I used to deconstruct/delayer semiconductors to find the fails. Things are getting smaller and smaller and harder to find and see! How you designers create those things always kept me in awe.
FYSB....I bet if we put the answer that you got to your Javi question through one of the decoders that we use, it would say, "We have no idea what that call was about, so don't ask." :-(
Drive-By-Hello....
GOOD EVENING TLEC!!! Well, missed you guys all day, but doesn't look like too much is going on...
Sure JJ, come on over to TLC and blog there too! We are sort of straddling both blogs while TLE fizzles out (it's been a long fizzle actually) and waiting for the new season to begin. There is also "Stories of the Lost" to blog on as well. Find them both on the front page.
Yeah, Ryandrumz, I think that everyone is remembering what they used to do before TLE started! :-) I know that I used to surf the web doing a lot of art and science research, and it's been so long I can't even remember where I left off.
wow this is it... I haven't commented in a while it's has been really fun playing around with you guys.... I guess I'll see you in a other life brotha..
csn somene give me the the chat client ??????
I keep coming back here as if I expect something new in TLE. But less often now. It was cool seeing my avatar in the video. And I didn't expect to have such a high posting rank.
Can't wait for the new season to start. See ya'll in TLC!
Good Morning Losties!!! This thread is going to be here until next week before season 3 starts then we will be jumping over to TLC. I hope everyone has a great weekend!!
Good morning, hope you have a good weekend too Thrasher!
Just saw this in my morning paper: Iron Man: Robert Downey Jr. has been cast in the title role of "Iron Man"....
My heart skipped a beat remembering Rachel's true love! But then I read on....
"a film adaptation of the Marvel comic book about a superhero with a high-tech suit of armor."
Oh, well!
I think that movie is going to go the way of Daredevil with Ben Afleck!
LAST!
LAST
i think i just sparked a war.
a race to see who is last.
LAST! im competitive.
great. now the TLEC thread is more alive than ever.
everyone is trying to be last.
and btw, robert downey jr. as iron man? i just dont see it.
Well if we're going to play this way-
*LAST!*
New Mom here.....(new puppy, Hurley). Been sooooo busy with the little guy, I haven't posted yet. Wanted to say: AWSOME job, admin and all of TLEC, for the excellent vids, podcasts, data sheets, and, of course, a friendly place to discuss our favorite subject! See you at TLC! Oh, yeah, and one more thing.................................................................LAST!!!!
*sigh* last again.
LOL, sean..........oh, yeah, and one more thing.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just had to post one more time because my word verification is very funny.....SADGMES...sad games!
Oh, yeah and...................................LAST!
Wouldnt it be great if someone who doesn't even post here got the last post?
My foot is swelling up and turning purple. Do we have any doctors in here?
Shouldn't you be posting on topic? I mean this is the most elite lost experience blog...
My foot is a topic....
look what i started. we are all in a race to be....LAST!
i know this probably wont be the last post, but still.
nope it wont be...
didn think so.
well, im out for the night. ill post last tomorrow.
night night
no i will be last dammit!
I can't sleep. (last)
its the anticipation of the last post
I give up!
Never give up!
i dont think there will ever be a last post. his blog will always be open. this back and fourth can go on forever.
Morning: I think Admin mentioned that there will be another post coming up on Wednesday announcing the end of TLEC posts and that we should all "officially" move on over to The Lost Community blog. So, in reality, I don't think this is the post that will have the "last" comment! (LAST)
There will never be a last comment... trust me. I know something about closing down comment boards...
uh... I don't think that's a good thing on second thought.
*Poke* Gotcha LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maven, isn't this rain great!!!
L
A
S
T
when davis opens up the next thread on wednsday, the first comment, instead of saying first will probably end up saying last.
seriously, this game has been going on since yesterday.
i meant david. not davis.

Hey, Ryan: Love this change in So. Cal weather! Even saw some lightening! (I know that's nothing for those in other parts...but exciting and different for us!)
(I think Admin (David) is going to be very disappointed in our LAST behavior! LOL)
i can still see us at season 4. this thread has over 2000 comments, and all of them will be saying "LAST!"
FIRST POST.... EVAR!
hahha i feel so honored... I was gone since thursday and just listened to/read everything. You guys rock!
p.s. my blog will be updated once a week with my personal thoughts and feelings on each episode... most likely on wed night or thurs some time
Penultimate!
Right you are dennis......which must mean I'm LAST!
OMG, I just sounded like Yoda:)
