First!!! I love cheating. I hope you guys like the podcast(s). We may have gotten a little carried away :)
Top 2?
curse you monday lad!
;>)
fasten,
Do you get up this early b/c the weather has been so nice lately? :) I'm going to be in Atlanta next Wed. so I will have to miss out on a premiere watch party (I'll be watching though). I also have a work conflict, the following Wed. But after that, we need to figure something out for all the metroplex mega-fans!
I've been up all night crafting a device that reveals the numbers 0-9. Yeah. I love school. But that means I can leave a message this early!
Had a fascinating and often fun time doing this and hope to.... regain the ability to type in full sentences sometime soon.
Admin! How late did you stay up working on all that! Thanks so much!
Isn't it awesome admin? I'm loving fall here in the big D.
Believe it or not, I'm actually trying to get caught up at work....600+ posts this summer put me a little behind.
Definitely up for a viewing party. We'll work on it once your schedule settles down.
Twinkle...probably not much later than you stayed up working on that 23 page Word Document! (which I'll be looking at in a few hours). I edited from 6:30-9:00pm and then went home and spent some time with my wife. Then I edited on my laptop in bed from 10:00-Midnight until I couldn't stand it anymore. The podcast(s) could be shorter but I couldn't keep my eyes open to tighten it up anymore. I'm also excited about Podcast Finale Part 3...The Top 8 Memories from Each Month!
fasten,
Everyone needs to follow your example: HEY EVERYONE, CATCH UP AT WORK!!! NOW!! NO WAIT...LISTEN TO THE PODCAST FINALE(S) FIRST...THEN CATCH UP AT WORK!
Sorry for the Rachel Font. I am sad to say that I will be breathing a sigh of relief this afternoon after I get the rest of the finale done. The folks at work will definitely be glad to "have me back". :)
Speaking of work...I better get cleaned up and head over there...Enjoy the podcasts!
I'm starting to listen to the podcast now.
Hi Guys,
No sound at work, so looking forward to the podcast part one and two tonight. I've got a stack of ironing to do tonight (the bane of my existence) so I'll listen whilst I iron whilst my wife looks on with bemusement to the podcast!
THAT video was great! It is amazing how many things I had forgotten about toward the end of the game. Downloading the podcast NOW...but saving it for the 40 min drive home:). Thanks for all of your work and for well...EVERYTHING!
P.S. Digging the John Mayer:):)

Just poking in my head one more time before the drive to work...
lucybob & the Hundreds others we missed...
There was NO FAVORITISM or really NO METHOD to the avatar selection for the last bit of the video. Stelven emailed us a while ago with a folder full of pictures and we just used those. We knew people would feel left out and we are truly sorry that we couldn't include everybody. Don't worry lucybob, we all know who you are...I personally always enjoy reading your conversations with Dark Angel :)
lhorse007,
I'm afraid one can never overuse the Growing Pains theme song :)
Awesome video!! I hope I made sense last night David, I was mentally prepared to do the feedback part, but switching it up on me made me a little nervous...bu tI think it worked! I am going to listen and watch the rest of this today BEFORE I head to work at noon.
Just watched the video in silent movie mode - very cool
That video was really great, I liked the ending with all the avitars, I think I changed mine the most an dI saw quite a few of mine, thanks for that, but I liked seeing the whole gang as well. An Awesome tribute!
jgz350, I'm thinking that it has been stolen in transit. It was sent priority mail.
Yes, I watched the recap last night and I just loved hearing Michael Emerson's voice again. Henry Gale as narrator was such a good idea on their part in my opinion.
What did we learn new though? What was illuminated? Only question that really stood out for me was asking 'Who are the good guys' at the end.
Really enjoyed the video here. Too bad I didn't have my new avatar up yet to make it, but I'm just pleasantly surprised to be included at all. Hopefully I get to post more now that the show is starting.
So Cattygirl,
first an ear, then a hand, are we going to have to collect 70 avatars and put them all together to get a complete picture of you?
I'm off to register at Cattygilexposed.com (mmn that sounds a bit risqué)
just_trying_to_keep_up you could stay delurked and join us over at TLC :)
Speaker posted part2 of his behind-the-scenes with LN.
And in video reader mail, Speaker (er, Andy) unmasks.
Thanks, Admin! I really like how you've done a great job balancing the blog and your other life. It's a good example for me. :-D
I really don't think we should call them the top 8 moments from each month. It's a whole lot more like "the 8 or so random things that struck us funny or interesting when you happened to call us." We don't want anyone getting mad at us because we left out their favorite memory! And we were really more focused more on community happenings than ARG events, as you'll see when you look at the 23 pager. Ah, the memories! So fun!
YAY!! I sound okay on the podcast! Looking forward to the 3rd part...I will listen tonight...
What an awesome video! It seems like so much work! Thanks!
BTW, the kids loved the music. Listening to the podcast now. My 20 month old looked surprised and then shouted "Cookie!" See, even they love you guys!
I LOVED the Video! Fantastic! Just another wonderful example of how ya'll here have made TLE such a great experience.
Haven't listened to the podcast yet but cannot wait till I get home tonight to do so.
I look forward to continuing hanging out with ya'll in the TLC.
Very cool vid Admin and whoever else worked on it...That ending makes me want to cry...It was awesome. Listening to podcast now!!!
Does anyone know where the picture came from that is under 'Post Experience Fun'?
Dark Angel - I'm a puzzle better left in pieces. ;)
Good morning... watching part one now... LOL... you guys worked in the theme song from Growing Pains!
Cattygirl-That pic comes from Javi's Live Journal. He is currently doing Post-TLE questions and answers there. The pic. was specifically from the 9/25 post. Check it out:)
Thanks Ange!
Belly: The thing about wizardry_eas and me is kind of funny. He left TLEC midway and I only joined the week before Rachel went to Comic Con. The podcast that you all did right before that event was what tipped me over into getting my first blog account and posting on a blog for the first time! From then on it was a slippery slope! Great job on the podcast, guys, and fun memories!
One more payoff of TLE, I think I have officially switched to FireFox as my main browser! If nothing else, my husband will be grateful to TLE for that!
Maybe we should repost the link to the comment statistics in this thread? It's also at the bottom of the last thread if anyone wants to find it.
Now I see... I wasn't giving the picture time to load and I was going right to the comments then. Sorry 'bout that.
Are you going to make us solve an anagram or convert from hex to binary for the last piece of the podcast? ;-)

Cool!!! I made top 20. Well, Thrasher and Belly...You guys were awesome. David and William, good job on it as well...
Top 25! Woot!
David, Just watched the video...nice work :)
Thanks for including me!
...now...off to listen to the podcast...
Well guys,
I'm off home, I'll catch up with you in one/all of the blogs later.
In the meantime, homework guys, can you crack my little code above.
With all the super sleuth skills here it should take about 30 seconds to crack
Namaste
DA
LSHNEMB!!!!
Did you all read A Conversation with Tom and Andy Part 2?
ANDY: Funny story, before WiA went up, our mate Nicky was demonstrating the site for ABC. It was only for TEN minutes but the fans ganked the temporary photos. I believe LOSTPEDIA captioned one of the pictures as "creepy kids."
They were random shots from her desktop! A couple friends and then her boyfriend and his sister.
TOM: All that speculation!
ANDY: I know!
Nicky, if you are reading this...Sorry about that. My bad.
*******SPOILER**********
Have you guys seen this? I saw this on ITE. It's a season three teaser, so don't watch it if you don't want to be spoiled. But listen to the voice on the loudspeaker.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWFVIhHL1LU&mode=related&search
**********SPOILER***************
FYSB: Dude that sounds like ???
Where are the smart people that do the codes for us? LOL!
Twinkle, listen at about 20 seconds in.
Hi speaker! Loved hearing you on the TLEC podcast.
Yeah, I heard it. I was being spoiler sensitive. New job or continuation of the old one, do you think?
Speaker, hope to see you around TLC! Did the fans surprise TPTB with all the whole ARG monitor thing?
sorry, twinkle, i read your post while listening to a conference call.
likely just a coincidental "sounds like".
small chance of a little shout out to tle.
anyway, it gave me a bit of a jolt.
Just to echo everyone else on here (which is all I seem to do ;)), I really enjoyed the video. It was fun to go back and see everything from way back in May!!! It feels so long ago!
Admin - my employers will also be happy to "have me back." I've officially weirded out all of the LOST fans up here.
FYSB - Count me in for a Dallas watch party. Doing anything for the premiere??
Speaker said... Dennis - she got a good laugh out of it - sorry we couldnt' tell you sooner.
No worries. Sometimes we were a little too crafty for our own good :)
For the record... I just found the photos...I didn't put the "creepy kids" caption on Lostpedia...
And WHOA! That sounds exactly like ............ in that preview!
Dang spoilers!!
Hey your mother! Thank goodness for conference calls, they give me a chance to get my blog fix.
I hadn't even thought about the premiere until last night at the recap. Can't believe it's only a week away. Do you know of a good place in Dallas to catch it or for a future watching party?

I saw this commercial on the clip show last night.
I definitly think it sounds like RB. Javi said "i think she is going to go places". Maybe she will be in season 3?
I also thought the very last scene was interesting. Underwater hatch anyone?
*********** SPOILER ******************
That does sound a little like Rachel on that S3 Trailer...Interesting.
Also, when I said I made top 20 up above, I meant top 20 commenter...
When is David putting Part 3 of this podcast up?
Morning!
Wow...I think I'm shedding a tear or two watchng that video! Those memories are great! Seeing all those avatars was a fantastic idea...personally, my cat, Pumpkin, thanks you. LOL The podcast was awesome, too. I think you summed it up for most of us. I for one got so much out of this experience...things I've never before done on the computor (I think I'm more computer savy now than my hubby!)...people I've met all over the world and across the U.S...stimulating and thought provoking discussions...all of this made this summer so worthwhile and fun.
And we also got some insights into the Lost world. I think we'll all be a step up on the Lost viewers that didn't partake in the game...we'll have a deeper and better understanding of the island.
The recap show last night was very well done. Fenry narrating it was kinda of creepy and an intereting choice.
The trailer they showed at the end definitely used Rachel's voice on the loudspeaker: "We know exactly who you are, Jack Shepard." I'd like to think it is a tip 'o the hat to TLE!
Less than a week to go...
FYSB, I've been trying to think of a place, but the only places that have televisions are bars ... which are pretty loud and not the best for LOST viewing. Any ideas on your end?
just watching the vid from last night....good stuff! Major shout out to the Growing Pains theme song!!
Anyone check out part two of the speaker/ninja conversation. A part of it confused me. Was Speaker actually Damon or not. They talk about but I think they were joking.
Hey ryandrumz! Perhaps the podcast part three delay is due to significant editing needs for the August section?
Your mother, I have an idea, I'll email ya.

Not. If you watch the latest video mail, you'll see he is not Damon.

I have all three of those pictures on my Flickr page and I have the kids tagged as "creepy" as well.
Morning all, glad we are still around on TLEC...
Oh and I guess I am up to 1432...I swear if I did not sit in front of this box all day and cruise the internets I would not have been able to be part of this fun and caring group...thanks for that guys!!
Dark Angel said... "So Cattygirl, first an ear, then a hand, are we going to have to collect 70 avatars and put them all together to get a complete picture of you?"
B-WahhHaaaa!!...If you Only Knew (wink)
Maybe CattyGirl is just a"head" of her time
thxs Dennis....missed that part.
Also, anyone having probs with the part 1 finale vid. The video says it is about 9 mins, but mine keeps ending after Rachel gets rescued by Mittlewerks body guard. Anyone else.
diggity seemed to work for me just fine
But this blogger site is really acting goofy for me today
FYSB: Or May and June! LOL!
Ya'll aren't all going to watch the S3 premiere, talk about it online all night, and then never look the boards again, right? Because the kids are going to bed when Lost airs, we usually tape it and watch it days later. It'd be lonely commenting on an empty board at TLC. You'll check back, right?
Dang, Dark Angel! I just don't know how to solve this stuff!
Twinkle,
I, for one, plan on checking back. Usually because a couple of days later, once we've had some time to think and process, is when the best theories come out! See you on TLC!
DA: I got it! So sweet!
"OK Just for you Twinkle ++Twinkle Twinkle Little Star "
Man, I just had to find the right website. The first few gave me nothing! It's a little like closing the barn doors after the cows escaped but I'm going to bookmark the site that worked!
Thanks! :-D
Thanks, your mother!
I plan on being part of both The Lost Community and Stories of the Lost...it is going to be tougher since I am starting a new job on the 9th and I will not be sitting in front of a PC all day and surfing the internets with all of you. I do plan on helping David out with it by making short concise posts related to the episode or even a theme within the episode. All things concerning it have yet to be hammered out, I think???
wow - I saw that same footage in a promo last night, and I also thought the voice on the speaker was our dear Ms. Blake. How odd!
On a side note - how in the world was I #37 on Belly's list? I didn't think I talked that much!
I'll definately be on TLC all the time. What, you expect me to WORK? :)
Not sure about Stories of the Lost, though. Last time I was there, I didn't have much to add.
Just took a look at the Commenter Rankings... It's interesting that a lot of commenters who wound up WAY down on our list were actaully major participants in The Lost Experience. They just chose to participate at other sites for whatever reason.
I'm thinking of major contributors like UnseenPresence, DharmaChick, Leighsa, etc.
codderz said... someone just found this hidden at the bottom of the Alvar apology:
That's an old clue. This came from the Hanso Sutdown page. It traslates to:
"This is not your fault. As you once shouted at the top of your lungs,
we've all got "blood on our hands." I just hope my friend is resting easy.
Where are you? I'll need you to meet me in Norway."
engineer27 said...They just chose to participate at other sites for whatever reason.
They just didn't realize that the One True Way had been found! (TLEC)
Awesome video guys!
I like the way you skipped acts 3-5. Very subtle point there guys. ;)
Loved the posters pics at the end too. Very appropriate to spend such a large portion of it recognising the TLEC community. You guys rock.
I've not listened to the audio portion yet, don't have time atm but will do later tonight after I've sorted out getting some food in.
Btw, I will definetly be on TLC, probably Lost Stories (though I only just heard about that from seeing Thrashers post) and may well pop my head in back at the Fuselage. I'm used to frequenting 2-4 blog boards now so will probably keep with that trend however as my numbers on ARG board that I was *always* on without fair was TLEC you can be 100% sure I will be around a *lot* on TLC.
Oh yes and of course my Myspace will still be up and I will of course be in the new IRC chat room.
Indeed "The One True Way" has been found!
Dennis - when I read your screen name origin I bust out laughing and then saying quaotes from the movie all day, I drove Melissa nuts last night, saying "NI"....ROFLMAOWNEMB
Admin - Btw, I have a version of that Mittlewerk remix that had the strings from Growing Pains on it. Hehe. I was going to suprise you with it but after using it I decided I wasn't quite happy with it and did a new version.
Little (former) secret: the bassline is still from the midi file I snatched of the theme, it's just going through a synth that is playing so low pitched you can't even tell it's got virtually nothing to do with the rest of the music. Lol. I just liked the way that bit worked.
I haven't ruled out re-using it in the future, if I can find something to work with it. I'm still going to do more (now Nostalgic) TLE remixes.
Hey Dallas people...
A few folks here in the big D have expressed interest in getting together at an occasional LOST viewing party. Let me know if you'd like to join some TLEC-ers (I guess we're TLC-ers now, how the heck do you pronounce that???) for some group LOST fun.
Are there more "I just want to say"s coming up in the next part of the podcast? I know I tried to send one in, but it wasn't included.
Admin & Co
Thanks for the brilliant Final Podcasts!
Brought a big smile to my face today.
When Part 3 of the Podcast comes out: Just wanted to warn you guys....it was very difficult coming up with the Top 8 comments for the month of July. There were over 16,400 comments posted that month! I "picked out" things that just stood out for me, there was nothing personal involved, just gut reactions to what went on back then. I originally took down like 15 pages of stuff and had to narrow it down from there! There were that many great times in the comments section! Looking forward to hearing what the other contributors came up with for the other months of the game.
There were so many great people involved in the game from many different sites: ITE, Tailsection, Fuselage, The Numbers, and, of course, TLEC! I always posted here, but did lurk elsewhere. I think people just find their comfort zone, and TLEC defintely fit mine! The format was easy to deal with for someone new to blogging. Even something as mundane as the white background with black lettering was easy on eyes and made it easier to read. TLEC was a great community for me, but we should acknowledge the great work done at other forums and blogs.
The 1st reason why I came here was because the format and how easy it was to read. Speaker's, Fuselage, and others comments section was just to small and hard to read for a long period of time.
That't when I realized that not only is it easier to follow the game here at TLEC, but that the people here were very nice and of course SMART!!!
Just heard on the news: Apple is suing a company for using the word "Pod" in their name and using the word "Pod"cast. They say the word "Pod" is associated with their products (or something legal like that). Guess we should be careful with TLEC's Podcast! We don't want Apple knocking at our door. LOL
Oh, I counted my month (Sept) Comments...around 8000 I had to go through.
Maven, you read twice as much as I did!!!LOL...Man, that must have been hard. Well, hopefully it comes out OK...
I can't wait to hear the 3rd ACT of the finale podcast....hmmm should I reword that as to not get sued from Apple? Nah, Steve Jobs can bite me!!!!
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.
maven said... Just heard on the news: Apple is suing a company for using the word "Pod" in their name and using the word "Pod"cast.
From what I have read, Apple is not shutting down all use of "podcast",
they are primarily complaining about the use of "Pod" in a company name. I'm sure they wouldn't like "AppleSoft" either!
Some companies are using alternative terms anyways: CBS is using "NetCast" and Microsoft is using "BlogCast". (The term "Podcast" is banned over at Microsoft!)
Thanks for that clarification, Dennis. I only was half-listening to news when I heard "pod"!
Scoutpost: Hubby wasn't really surprised when I told him how many posts I did over the summer. He always said whenever he talked to me when I was on the laptop it was like I was in another world and didn't hear him! I do admit it's true.
Yes, how many times did you have to retype your word verification? How many times were there 2 v's together and you thought it was a w, or a c was next to an l and you typed d? Aw, memories....
Scoutpost said...
Thrasher- exactly how many different avatars DID you have this summer? LOL And BTW, thanks for the shout out in the DJLena parody.
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 there is a new thread...doh!
Hehe, okay checked the post count now. I'm 24th. Actually better then I thought. Given I seem to compress about 3 posts worth into one. But then if I took that into account the equivelent is kinda scary. Lol.
It was fun : )
supper site very good thanks
müzik dinle mp3müzik dinle
Unbelievable.. This show is absolutely something from out of this world! I hope and wish all the time that I would have been able to catch every episode, but :( no luck.. That's fine though, knowing about the show is enough to know how good it is, I actually have a couple friends who are comedians so when they watch the show they love to tell me how the episodes went, and the way to tell the story of what happens in the episode, just makes me crack up even if it's a dramatic situation because of their comic persona! haha well Until Next Time!
Compaq laptop batteries
Take care
