That's right. We're wrapping up our role in The Lost Experience with one last podcast. We've got a lot of fun things planned to try to sum things up but we can't do it without YOUR HELP. We'll be doing a segment called "I just wanna say..." where Lost Experience players will have the chance to speak their minds about anything and everything TLE related. Since it would be next to impossible to coordinate multiple phone conversations, we ask that you email us 60 seconds or less of your voice in MP3 format by next Wednesday at noon (U.S. Central Timezone). Start your audio with "My name is...and I just wanna say..." Look for the podcast coming up next Thursday!

AWESOME and thank-you for a finale! Well, thank-you for EVERYTHING since May really!
David - Awesome and cool! I am off until next Wed. please email me at my comcast.net addie if there is anything you need from me.
wow... reading the previous comments and refreshed the main page and new comments... how cool is that.
I can't wait to hear people's thoughts...
and mp3 too. cool.
Thrasher - vacation time? Are you going to the Bloomsburg Fair? ;)
Hey everyone. Isn't today the 2 year anniversary of the plane crash (9/22/06)? I don't know what made me think of this, maybe the anticipation of S3 starting in a couple of weeks.
David, Belly, and Thrasher,
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. I am looking forward to the Last pod-cast and hope it turns out well.
You should give other people an opportunity to voice themselves who don't have access to recording their own voice to an MP3... for instance; will you be reading any e-mails or anything other than the MP3? I would like to contribute but have no access to any programs or equipment that would allow this to go down. I am sure there are others as well that would like to be included in the Final Pod-cast.
I look forward to the new Blog when the season starts and the Message board is coming together nicely from what Lostgrrl tells me. It should be a very cool new board for all of us to keep connected. I met a lot of interesting people through out this game and highly anticipate that the community will continue to prosper as time goes on.
A huge ThanX for all you guys have done and will continue to do for the foreseeable future.
Much Respect,
DeDJeZTeR

Sad to see it coming to an end, but TLC is gonna be kickin, yo! Bring on season 3!
Hey, Admin: Thanks for this opportunity for all of us to participate (as many as you can get in without making it 5 hours long!). Can someone explain to me how to do this MP3 recording thing? I'm clueless. Don't even know if I have the stuff to do it on my computor! Maybe someone can email me if we don't want to get into detail here, although, there just MIGHT be others as clueless as me!

From the previous post:
Fysb/oxillini/natevoodoo: I would add -- Do you have a tendency to tear everything up in 70 little pieces before throwing them in the garbage can?
Admin, I am also clueless with regard to mp3. I have a microphone, I know that much.
If that's not possible, I wouldn't mind having someone read my email statement. Sort of like Johnny re-enacting the crazy death threats to DJ Dan.
Ok, reposting from the last thread with updates. Oxillini has taken the quiz and I believe he is at the very least Rachel's first cousin once removed (from reality).
The How Do You Know if You Are Parthenogenically Related to Rachel Blake Quiz
1. Do you have an irresistable need to type in either uppercase or lower case, ignoring all social conventions to use them both appropriately?
2. Are you compelled to videotape all of your exploits, then edit out the really interesting parts?
3. Do you stalk secretive billionaires for no apparent reason?
4. Do you find yourself assaulting strangers with small appliances, only to become oddly drawn to them in a romantic way?
5. Do you write your grocery list in a combination of binary and hex?
6. Do you end your conversations with irrelevant movie/tv quotes?
7. Do you have a tendency to tear everything up in 70 little pieces before throwing them in the garbage can?
8. Are you the last person to figure out the clues in a mystery even as everyone around you is shouting the answer?
9. Do you like to pretend that islands in the Great Lakes are Equatorial?
any more we should add TLEC?
Barbarajay: I'm with you! I have a mic, too, but I don't know what to do next!
Hopefully, someone with the smarts regarding this will explain to all of us clueless people how we go about recording our thoughts for the podcast on mp3. I'm sure it will be greatly appreciated my many of us
fysb: maybe we should add
10. do you have a hacker alter ego who is 2-3 times smarter than your everyday self?
fysb:
Do you pass out chocolate bars for no apparent reason?
do you like gladiator movies?
have you ever been in a turkish prison?
oxillini,
That one is a classic and should definitely be added to the mix... loll
fysb: Another one (I'm on a roll. LOL):
Does everyone you touch ends up killed, kidnapped, or vanished?
Do you continuously press F5 on your computer every 2-10 seconds hoping the page will change?
You guys are HILARIOUS!!!
Turkish prison???
Killed, kidnapped, vanished???
LMAO, LMAO, LMAL
Updated list coming up.
Hoe about
Do you like to wear disguises around people who have no idea what you looked like in the first place?
Do you like to disappear for days only to have your next public update be from a week ago?
oxillini - Methinks you're leaving one off. Probably a good call. You might get hauled off like WTK.
Do you warp to the future to take pictures of corpses and return to the present to post them including the future date they were taken on the photo?
oxillini - what movie is that from? I recognize it, but I can't place it!
Does anyone else feel like it's almost the last day of school, and everyone's going around getting their yearbooks signed and getting all emotional? :)
very approriate coming from the book police!
guess i picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue.
melissa: it is from the highlight of leslie nielsen's career. the one, the only airplane!
Are you capable of broadcasting LIVE at 8PM PDT and 5PM EDT simultaneously?
melissa_lossa - "And Leon's getting larrrrrgerrrrrr!!"
Is that any help? It's coincidentally appropriate considering the LOST-related anniversary today.
melissa_lossa, i sure do. hence the distraction of the rachel quiz to keep me from being sad.
keep 'em coming people.
I'll definetly be recording something...After DjDan of course. Can't wait!!!
I think I am out.... Next!
wv: kylit - Kentucky Lit!
admin: could you maybe include some of fysb's quiz in the podcast. pleeeeeeeeeeeease?
AHA! Thanks, guys. I knew I had heard that before. What a great movie....
Surely you can't be serious.... I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.
How 'bout...
You ever seen a grown man naked?
Classic movie.
Thanks to oxillini, dixxee, maven, dedjetzer and natevoodoo, I present to you the comprehensive

FYSB - that is awesome!
fantastic fysb!
So I guess DJDan will be taking callers! Cool. FYSB, et al. you guys are too funny with the RB quiz. I love it. In my daily fog of existence, I wasn't even thinking that the podcast was only a couple of days away and that this is the last weekday...until melissa_lossa said it sounded like it was the last day of school... now I'm sad! Even though I know TLC will continue and that I will be a part of it. Silly, silly me.
Oh, and I fall into the category of people needing a little help to know how to record to MP3 format for the podcast- Anyone? Bueller?
What a list! This is making the time past soooo much faster! LOL
Aside from the diversions: I still need someone to "instruct" me (and, I'm sure, other -- no, not those "others") how to record a mp3. HELP!
FYSB, the RB quiz is awesome! (I'm easily won over with an Airplane quote.)
Maven & Co,
There are several different methods for recording your own mp3. It is surprising simple and all you really need is a microphone. Most computers have the recording software built in or it is easily downloadable for free.
Google search "make a recording" or something like that and you should find what you need. Here is one example:
How to make a recording
We may read some things if people send us emails but I'll play mp3s before reading b/c I think people get bored listening to us read stuff. I'm working on some cool "compilations" of videos, websites, events, etc. I'm hoping it turns out!
Fantastic idea. I will record my audio, probably before the live podcast, but then may change it depending what happens (if it's all as predictable as it looks I won't need to).
You know what would be cool? Getting any of the soft or even hard in game characters to speak on it. Pressuming they all live out the live podcast. I expect it would probably just end up being Ninja as the others are likely to be either too busy or too constrincted by network issues to speak or just impossible to get hold of to ask. But I reckon it's worth a try. Not that it won't be cool (and overall more important) to hear everyone elses comments but I know you guys don't limit the length of your podcasts so we could certainly have both if they were up for it.
"This is Thomas Mittlewerk and I just want to say - I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those peskey kids, ps. I'll be back!" Lol. Okay, that's *so* not gonna happen. Just speculating here.
Hi Guys,
Just poking my head in to say that I have just downloaded Audacity and am going to try and record a MP3 for the podcast.
Btw, I recommend Audacity for doing the recordings with. It's very simple and you can save right to mp3, providing you have the lamemp3 codec installed which many of you may already have and if not you can get it here. Both of those are free.
Alternatively you can use itunes to convert the wavs (made with soundrecorder, audacity or anything else) if you have that installed anyway. Just go to the options page - advanced - importing, select mp3 as the import type. Then drag the .wav file into itunes, right click and select "convert to mp3". You'll then find an mp3 of the file in your itunes library.
If you don't have itunes installed I'd do the top method.
If anyone has any trouble getting sound into a recording program you probably need to find your audio mixer on your computer. Usually it's in the start menu-accessories-entertainment (IRRC) but you can also access it via control panel (sound and audio - audio - volume). once on that go to options, select the record options and make sure the microphone input is ticked on and the volume is up.
Oh yes, I've arranged to not have to be in work till 1pm on monday. So I'll be able to recover from the late late night. Woohoo.
Just have to load up the coffee a bit and think of some reason to phone in.
Although, they may favour those that didn't make it in last time, and that's fair enough.
FENRIS!!! YOU'RE STILL ALIVE!!!!
So either the Hanso goons are a bunch of maroons or you've disguised yourself in a cheap blond wig.
I go away for a few days and suddenly the end is near!
BooHoooooooooo! Doesn't anyone but me see the person in the back of the WTK kidnap van with the Jackie-O/Rachel sunglasses on?????????
Could it be something we need to know or just an insignificant extra to help the WTK actor into the van? I don't know how to brighten up the image to see in the van to find out.
BTW, did we come up with anything significant for the license number that the camera hovered over before the van drove away?
Just for everyone's info:
EW this week has a special pullout bonus: LOST: Everything You Need to Get Ready for Season 3!
Goes over every character's background, what's happened to them on the island, a burning question about them, and EW's prediction. Plus Stephen King's Burning Questions! Very cool!
Capcom, I do see a figure in there...I don't think we will be able to get a good shot of it though...Good catch, and I'm suprised nobody has done this for you yet...I would if I could.
Right on Maven...Can't wait to go home and read it!!! Thanks
Maven, I love those! They really clue you in to what TPTB think are the most important points.
I'm working on a project for the wrap up of TLEC called "Lost Moments." It's sort of like an "end of camp slide show." I'm 2/3 the way through skimming May's posts and comments looking for fun memories. Anyone want to volunteer to do the other months: June, July, August, Sept? Does this sound like a good idea or not? I want to know whether to keep going. Thanks!
Well, twinkle, that project seems overwhelming to me. Skimming through all the posts...omg! I probably can do a month, if you tell me exactly what you're looking for...what's a fun memory? This whole thing has been a fun memory!
Maven and anyone interested in helping: Yeah, it's a little more than I thought but we don't have to be too thorough. E-mail me at twinklestarmom@yahoo.com and I'll send you a sample of what I've got so far. It's mostly not about the clues and about the community and relationships. BTW, in case you're wondering, TapDawg taeks the prize as first poster ever as far as I can tell!
Off topic wandering, cuz nothing else to do while the carpet people have me penned in the computer room.....in this Lost image:
http://www.sparklies.org/gallery/displayimage.php?album=137&pos=83
...the guy standing to the left of Michael looks like Cher's Bagel-Boy-Toy. I wonder if he is still acting?! :-D
Twinkle or whoever, Try ctrl+f on comments with "funny" then you can pinpoint areas in the comments when something "Funny" happened...
Exactly what I'm doing, Ryan! :-D and LOL, etc...
We were pretty serious in the beginning but some of the comments have gotten funnier with age. And it's not all about funny. I'm recording firsts and interesting points. For instance, I was surprised that "missing organs" was a clue from the very, very beginning. Poetic.
Man people are crawling out of the woodworks....E-Dude, I remember you from way back in the game, haven't seen you post much lately...Nice to see ya!!
I like this whole ARG thing as well. Lost is my first and probably my only. It's a lot of work, time, and dedication...I can't emagine starting another. If Lost has one next year, then I will be back in ARG mode. Other than that, I'm glad I can get back to my "normal" life...I'm just glad I stuck through this whole thing till the end...
TPTB, GIVE US SOMETHING ALREADY!!!
Hey, e-dude: My hubby will kill me if I get involved in another ARG! LOL
WV: Zagawag!

He does'nt have to act....look at HIS right foot
Admins - You guys need to fix the post on front. "That's" next to the Podcast pic needs to be moved. It causes all the verbage on the side to be displayed at the bottom of the blog...
Yes, ular98, very slow loading!
I think Belly is upset because it turned out the lonelygirl15 turned out to be phoney...produced by 3 guys as an experiment, and lonelygirl was really an actress they hired.
Belly: I just emailed my recording! Hope you guys got it and I did it correctly. Boy I sure learned alot today! LOL
Gosh, Belly, I didn't realize all the undertones of what went on with lonelygirl15. I just read about it superficially in the news when the story broke. Thanks for letting us know another level of it.
Never got into that whole lonelygirl15 thing an I'm glad I didn't.
I just can't beleive we got nothing for TLE today...What a bummer. It can't end like this...Oh, well.
Sux about your computer today belly...That hapened to me once during the glyph days, I missed you guys find 3 once...it sucked!!!
Maven, That Lost thing in EW was awesome. I forgot some stuff from S1 and it blew me away. It ties it all together pretty nicely...
Hi, ryan: Yeah, I thought the pullout in EW was pretty good. Some of the things they mentioned makes you think how important it was to the overall scheme of things that was and will be.
Belly....Aleister Crowley???!! Ick! Mr. Self-Proclaimed-666-Beast himself. I had no idea that fake video was about that, I just heard about it on TV yesterday and they didn't mention that. That is pretty devious.
I just bought a book about one of the rocket scientists who founded Jet Propulsion Labs and this gent was in a neighborhood coven which included Mr.666 and L.Ron Hubbard. Short story is, he got pretty messed up (in the head, doing weird things with his two voodoo buddys) and later accidentally blew himself up in his house doing chemical experiments.
Life is stranger than fiction sometimes.
Thats it, its over?
Oooh, oooh, anyone want to summarize the EW thing and what stood out to you that maybe hadn't before?
I e-mailed you back, Maven. Thanks!
Next week is the UK season finale, right?!!
OT
Alister Crowley, for those not in the know, do a wikipedia search. I will only say, a very, very wicked man.
And, not to add any salt to any wounds, but I have been completly quiet on this subject till now, and probably will not say more after this. But again, March 4, 1948, and possibly an AC connection to Lost (by my reckoning)
http://www.sacred-texts.com/oto/lib31.htm
I, CHARLES STANSFIELD JONES, (Frater Achad, etc.) of "Tall Timbers", Deep Cove, British Columbia, Canada, being the author of the accompanying manuscript entitled "Liber Thirty-One" (a part of my private magical diary, originally transcribed and typed with one carbon copy in November 1918, the single copy having been delivered to Aleister Crowley by mail early in September 1919 and since lost or destroyed) do now make the following statement:
On March 4, 1948, I received from Gerald J. Yorke, Esq., of 5, Montaque Square, London, W.1., England, a letter which contained the following:
"As you probably know A.C. had died.
----------
Love and Peace Everyone, I can't wait for Sunday Night and the DJ Dan podcast!!!!!
Thin, re: 3/4/48.......oh no. Well, hopefully that's just a coincidence. Maybe the date is a B-day of someone dear to TPTB. Chris Carter used to do that all the time on the X-Files, with dates, digital clocks, e.g. 1013, etc. :-|
I can't believe this is ending...
Well it's been a good run and we can still hang out @ The Lost Community.
I hope someone records the broadcast.
Twinkle: Here's a few things that stood out for me in the EW Bonus Pullout:
We know Jack's wife fell in love with another man--who was that other man?
Why did Desmond spend time in prison?
How and why did Locke get paralyzed?
Hurley's been privy to every major event on the island. Why?
Do Claire and Jack share a father?
The big question is why Kate, Jack and Sawyer being held?
capcom, March 4, 1948 is derived from Hurley's numbers, reversed and converted by a Julian Day Calender.
LOL, ya think Mittlewerk is evil, he is no comparison to Aleister Crowley
"Do What Thou Will"
Nuff said, back into lurk mode for a while :)
Thanks, Maven! I've suspected that Hurley is being set-up as a more important character than simple appearances would indicate.
Vamos a ver!! (We'll see.)
TBM: It would have made a more interesting ARG maybe if he had been.
Maven! Sorry I e-mailed you about starting with August but what I meant was *July*. I'll do May and June. August and September are so recent that it doesn't matter as much if we get to them because we remember them more clearly. Let me know if that's ok.
Thin; TWM could only be an AC follower. :-) or :-( Even Jack Parsons (JPL) couldn't handle the strain of living up to AC's plan for the world.
Still, the VE numbers might have been chosen to equal someone's B-day on th J-calendar? One can hope.
Night Friends, have to go watch "The Spy Who Came In From The Cold" on TCM! XO
Wow! Lhorse! I couldn't tell. You totally had me fooled with that blond wig and glasses. ;-)
So why the double life?
LOL Ihose007, and I'm melodrama...;)
Yeah, I had to learn sign language, that's why my vid wasn't that great and hard to translate...
Oh well, it has been fun...J/K
so....lhorse, are you in-game?
Sorry, I'm tired...I almost forgot my own ID...
Wow, so you were sneaking around and didn't even tell us...Well, right on...I guess. That means you are In-gane. Tell me more, tell me more...
Well, to be honest...I remembered the name Garthazoid, but don't really recall all the specifics that was involved...WAY TO GO DUDE!!!
Well that's really cool. Thanks for the reveal!
hereandthere: It looks new to me. I didn't see it yesterday nor have I seen it discussed. Maybe this will be a live show after all?
wv:robttfer - why even robotic cats get hairballs
you know after being one of the most frequent postere here, when the game was hot, I now cannot think of a single thing I wanna say about this game for the podcast :(
The DJ Dan link to radioharvest doesn't work and radioharvest.com won't load for me. It just says "opening" forever.
I hear your pain, noble. What about an ode to a dying ARG?
I understand what you mean, noble! I sent in a recording...but I didn't really talk about the ARG, just my experience playing it!
Twinkle: It worked for me when I clicked on the link at abc.com.
hmmm... the link from djdan.am to radioharvest doesn't work for me because it puts a goofy URL in the address bar, but I think you're talking about a different link, right?. As to why radioharvest isn't load, it could be my security settings if it's loading for everybody else.
twinkle: It's a link from abc.com. When you go to radioharvest there's a note re the podcast and the phone number.
Thanks. Yep, radioharvest just spins for me. Not like it matters now...:-) Night!
(Humming the death march from Carmen)
Farewell TLE-ARG.
cool new avatar totngraber!!! Night all...
Did any of you try the Kyle XY game? When it came out, it seemed like it was going to be another ABC ARG but it was a real dud. It started out with a commercial at the end of the show like we got with Lost. Maybe ABC couldn't follow thru with the Kyle game... and it was a only a summer series that went just 6 or 7 episodes...no fan base like Lost. Anyway... just wondering.

FYSB - It was the later option ;) Rachel had so many good ideas. The next thing I'm going to do is fill an alley way up with high quality professional microphones and then trick the hanso goons into going there and make "covert" recordings of them in full quality stereo.
Good morning, I saw the houses in that picture too... where did that picture come from? Is it from the season 2 dvd? Are they visible on the dvd also? If it is a promotional picture.... how could they make that kind of mistake? The houses/building could easily been Photoshop-ed out.
marcus: welcome back!
P&N: You know what else I noticed in that picture? Doesn't Ms. Klu (sp?) look pregnant?
Just my 2 cents:
I am going to miss...
lurking (it is all I am smart enough for)
Finding a clue only to learn it was from two weeks ago!
F5 F5 F5 F5 F5
3 hours of reading FIRST! TOP 256! etc.
SPOILER meaning...sorry to all I ever upset with that mistake but glad to know now!
all the cool things I learned about my computer I know I will NOT need ever again!
most of all...WORD VERIFICATION!
Truly, you all have been a joy to read about. Your comments are interesting, funny, and the highlights of my entire summer!
Here is to a season of...questions!
Sincrely and fondly,
Heather
LMAO Fenris! Good work!
Don't forget to hide a small stereo in your alley and play mysterious noir-ish background music. It really adds such a nice mood to top secret recordings.
ular98: Maybe she's just expecting on the show. One could only imagine if an experiment was conducted and now she's pregnant.
sdlaw2: That's old. Can't quite remember what it translated to but you can look it up in the past clues.
'Morning Friends!
Ms.Klu/Klugh/Clue's shirt is probably just being blown around by the activity and the blustery wind that seems to be blowing on the pier there.
Fenris, don't forget to put a fog machine in the alley as well! :-)
Morning all! Wow, the day before the last day...time flies when you're having fun. LOL
I was just wondering...what's going to happen to all the websites that were part of the game (like DJ Dan, Sublymonal, THF, Stophanso, WIA, HE, etc)? Do they all get SHUTDOWN BY THE MAN?
Ib4uc, your comment made me think of something (sorry if anyone has broached this before, a million threads ago:-) but not about Ms.Klu being preg. Maybe all the DI experiments made the Others sterile. Perhaps that is why they have to steal the children of people who crash on the island. Not just because they need fresh, good, subjects to use for virus/cure experimentation (because the DI is defunct and no longer sending them any), but because they can't propagate themselves anymore for the creation of New World Order on the island.
Well, now that I type this out I feel deja vu that someone mentioned this, but what the heck.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
Maven; that's what I have been wondering. The RDB site soon decomissioned even just the "vaccine" audio clue around the time that the "quarantine" clue appeared. I wish that TPTB, both ABC and Lost, would leave all the sites up for a while, maybe for at least the rest of the year. But the internet is extremely ephemeral, unfortunately. That's one thing that I hate about the internet. Here today, gone tomorrow. If you didn't print it out, tough nugies. :-(
Yeah, Capcom: All this will eventually be a figment of our imagination! LOL I'm assuming this blog will be around forever, right? We all just move on over to TLC, and this one goes into hibernation.
I'm also assuming that things like my Timeline will no longer have working links, since websites will be shutdown. Oh, well.
Maven said: "All this will eventually be a figment of our imagination!"
Hooyeah. In a couple months when all the sites are gone, we will be trying to convince people that we spent our entire summer playing this great internet game, and no one will believe us because there will be no evidence anywhere. THF/TWM will have erased it all! Then they'll put is in the looneybin with Dave where we can play Connect-4,8,15,16,23,42 with Leonard. :-)
Morning all! The countdown has begun. Too bad. I just looked at that season 2 promo pick that TBM posted....you guys are right, what the heck are those houses doing in the background. I mean I understand if they are Hawaii residents, but are they part of the LOST story? If that is a mistake, oh my.
LOL Capcom- yeah!
Maven- I wanted to email you, but been busy...thank you for the Apollo bar, I got it Thursday! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
Hi, scoutpost! Yes, those houses would be a huge mistake, wouldn't they? You would think some intern would have notice them! They're so obvious!
Glad to hear that it came! Hopefully, in one piece and not melted!
Thanks RyaNDrumZ, That's my whereisalvar photo. It seemed a fittin' way to end this fling.
Been diggin' around my old notes from the THF.org. I still ain't belivin' RB=P.
whoever gets the last post should end it with:
rb is definitely not persephone. i'm not buying it.
guess we should add something about rb=p? to the quiz!
Maven- when I took it out of the package it was pretty liquid feeling but still had it's shape- that's what you get for living in AZ! But no worries- I threw it into the freezer as soon as I got it and it turned out good as new.
Maven; could you get some screen captures of the TLE sites before they shut down? Then you could at least have images of what the site used to look like on your nice timeline. It would be kewl to have a kind of scrapbook of what we did this summer -- a sort of "What I Did On My Summer Vacation" type of thing. Dr. Spongey could even do a nice report on it for school with the info. :-)
I hope that someone has a cap of the old LYCGY page, that was pretty neat looking. Now it's gone too.
Capcom: I would if I knew how to! LOL That's one thing I didn't learn this summer...maybe someone else has them, hopefully!
*snort* RB=P
*double snort* from ox's confession yesterday that he met his wife during the blender incident of 1999.
Working on my contribution to admin's podcast. This is hard! I have newfound respect for those guys.

FYSB; does snort#1 mean that you disagree with RB=P? :-)
I'm not sure what to think. At first, P's messages sounded as if they were from an older person (than RB)who had a decent vocabulary and command of the english language, but then as we got closer to RB-Time, didn't they start sounding more Valley Girl-ish like RB? Perhpas TPTB changed P/RB horses in midstream and later decided that RB was to be P, so as to simplify the game, plot, and script. I dunno.
GOOD AFTERNOON TLEC!!!
Counting down for the end... :(
Maybe we'll get a bunch of puzzles and codes to crack...YEAH RIGHT!!!
hey capcom....snort#1 was just because i thought it was funny that we're still talking about it.
my personal belief is that rachel is and always has been persephone.
but part of the fun of the game is that we get to pour over the nuances and look for hidden meanings.
i think it ws cus of abc saying
"no finish it earlier"
*Podcast changes*
"no earlier than that"
*Podcast changes*
"earlier still goddammit"
*Podcast changes*
"Javi ant you do anything right ffs? we only wanted this to be profitable for a month or so you cock finish it ASAP"
*Javi bows and licks ABC's shoes clean* saying "pleas etake me back to writing for lost Medium just aint cuttin it
personally i think that is quite an accurate account of whatt happened. =)
NB no offence was meant to Javi in the creation of this post offence as only meant to be thrown ABC's way.
I've done something very sad today: Starting deleting some TLE websites from my Lost Experience bookmark. :(

Oh no! Say it ain't so! Not going to delete mine just yet....
is that podcast tonight or tomorrow??
2costa: The podcast is Sunday, 8pm pdt. That makes is tomorrow evening on the west coast.
like i said when snakes on a plane didnt do as well as expected the bigwig execs saw that internet buzz doesnt translate into dollars. The 20 something million people that watch lost aer way more important than the 35,000 the play tle. That would be a low rating even for basic cable. When that realization dawned on them they cut the budget way down and thats why we have had the e-mail back and forth lately cause it was cheap. As javi pointed out during the rehearsal, he not only doesnt care about the fans he has contempt for them....
thanx maven
and i still think the alvar part of the frag film was left over from season 2 filming...
the alvar part was probably the most well done video of this game. Besides Rachel being a ba actress,the dude that plays mittlewerk is a hack...
hugh was horrible, but i must say ironm an was good
I was wondering if anyone who has the special Adobe reader
(that allows exporting of images from inside a pdf file),
did the exporting to the "missing_organs.zip"?
And did any of the exported pics have any special hidden info (.png multi layer) ?
its over tbm let it go
LET GO!!?? LOL
Season 3 is about to start, its time to grab on and grab hold tight LOL
I hate it, that I love this show, so much
Oh, and for the die hard lost fanatics (please don't take this as me being smug) we have been discussing Lost for nearly 2 years now over at alt.tv.lost.
I know there will still be a community forum here at TLEC, but please stop over at alt.tv.lost for FLively and controversial Lost discussions. Unmoderated....so needless to say it is sometimes r-rated.
No news reader? you can still participate via your web browser and googles groups
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.tv.lost
"Might as well admit it, I'm addicted to Lost" :)
I guess the Where's Alvar site is not posting new pictures, so since my daughter and I went to all the trouble to go to San Francisco to get our Apollo bar, I am switching my avatar to her and I for the rest of the time here.
Taken 9-20-06 at the last Apollo give away.
Gosh Joann, that's not nice of them. I guess it must cost them money to have someone monitor/run the WIA site, but you'd think they could keep accepting pictures until it's over at least. :-( Well, we welcome your Apollo booty pictures here on the blog. :-)
BTW, to those it may interest, I just saw "The Illusionist" tonight, it's good! I am very partial to turn-of-the-20th-century period pieces anyway, but it's worth the $$. A couple slow parts, but there's a great twist in the story. And we Losties love twists. People in the theater were clapping at the end.
P.S. Thank you TBM for that other Lost discussion site. BTW, your blog is very interesting. Some rainy day soon I'll have to sit and read the entire thing.
capcon, Feel free to explore the blog at your leisure. And the door to alt.tv.lost is always open too.
I also saw the Illusionist, well at least the bootleg version. The quality of that video was not very good, but it was good enough for me to want to see it again, at the theater, or a DVD rental. And the MAGIC had a familar Lost feel to it.
(I know this will not make any sense, but the ORANGE that played a prominent role, had me thinking of the "Navel of the Universe")
DJ Dan...bout this time tomorrow night!!!!
Wow...less than 24hrs. til the end.
Wish they had given us something on Friday to talk about until then. This blog seems so miserably lonely.
sublymonal update, maybe?
DJDan's website has a sublymonal banner on the top. Regardless of what you enter, it becomes "PYRAMIDS". When you enter the word pyramids on sublymonal.com, it says "pound sign redirect pyramid". If entered again, it shows this link in the background: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramids and "#redirect Pyramid.."
Relevant? Any ideas?
THE DJLENA SHOW IS HERE
http://www.paulschou.com/tools/xlate/ this one does binary, hex, and base64...hope that helps.
***IMPORTANT INFO***
Maven, our dear friend was SUPPOSE to be in my podcast, however, due to technical issues, her recording didnt make it in.
I want to let EVERYONE know, she did GREAT and it was sound issues! :)

Wow, TeamLena...it was worth the wait...the loooong wait! LOL
Don't worry about my part...it was pretty lame anyway. You put so much time and energy in getting the whole world together on this...great job by evryone involved!
Lena I have to say that was the best part of the game in weeks. You rock girl They get better and funnier each time.
Heres to exposing the man.... Cheers :)

Hey, Matt the Pale: You sure sound suspiciously like Alvar Hanso...or he sounds suspiciously like you! Great job on the DJ Lena podcast!
The link to the DJ Dan podcast doesn't work for me. It doesn't matter if I link from ABC or type in radioharvest.com. Can anyone still access it? I wasn't able to get it to load yesterday either.
If I need to change settings on my computer I'd better start working on it.
The Island,
I have it running right now, so it is working for me. I don't know what to tell you. sorry
I linked to radioharvest.com and clicked on Windowsmedia. It loads fine, butI don't have sound. My volume control is way up.
I also clicked on mp3, and I'm getting no sound. Should I be worried?
Radio Harvest ain't workin' for me niether. The MP3 just streams dead air on iTunes, and the WMP says "The Server's not responding".
It was workin' last time.
Ya think this might be a new puzzle for the end game?
Dig Y'all Later
Well, is there something playing right now on radioharvest.com I should be hearing? It seems to be some kind of abc thing...volume is all the way up and I see the seconds going by...but no sound.
Thanks everyone for the big thumbs up!
btw...the island: Are you having browser issues maybe? Try whiching browsers and see if that works.
Yippee! Thanks!
I fianlly got the radioharvest site to load. I had to use Firefox.
I think the last 2 automatic updates on XP changed something in Internet Explorer.
If it's not loading for other people, they may want to try Firefox.
matt, I'll be recording DJ Dans podcast, and as quickly as I can, will post a download link to the files as soon as the podcast is completed.
BTW, your DJ Lena "Hanso" voice creeped me out! :)
anybody who wanted to know about my upcomng site
The Lost Experience Withdrawal i have a pre-blog set up just to see who would be interested in such a site, its viewable temporarily at the URL http://tlecw.blogspot.com/

G'day friends. I hope that I can figure out how to listen to DJ Dan tonight, I'm kind of a dweeb when it comes to those kind of computer things. This will be the first one I've bothered to listen to (mostly because he just rubs me the wrong way though). :-p But I've got to at least try on the last day of TLE of course. Thanks TBM, for recording it for computer-ignorant dweebs like moi-self.
TBM, everytime they said "Eisenheim" in the Illusionist, I kept thinking "Weisenheimer". :-) I liked the Phillip Glass score as well, it matched pretty well with the Victorian/Edwardian feel of the movie. TBM, can you come up with something in the Illusionist to tie in with your blog? Perhaps an essay on "Contemplating One's Navel"? :-)
capcom, LOL, "The Navel" borders on the mythological. And my friend tdciago is the mythological master :)
Her site is here:
http://members.aol.com/lostdogon/
She also originally recommeded the "Illusionist"
BTW, my "hollow earth" therories at the blog, also tie into "The Navel" concept
Seeking technical help! I wanted to make sure I was all set up for the podcast and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong...
The link on DJ Dan's page is this:
http://www.djdan.am/Óhttp://www.radioharvest.comÓ which has some crazy symbols in it and takes me to a file not found page.
The link to the podcast from ABC is this: http://www.radioharvest.com/ which seems to get stuck on some endless loading and never shows up on screen.
Someone posted this link earlier:
http://www.harvestfilms.com/home2.html, which seems to go to the right place (at least visually) but when I click the "click here to download our feed seed" I just got a notepad window.
Can anyone help? Am I just starting this too early? Or am I visiting the wrong places/doing the wrong things?
I really appreciate any help/advice. Thanks.

FYSB, all of what you just said is happening to me too. I thought it was just my typical PC-lameness. I need help too.
I was able to get radioharvest to load with firefox, but now there is not sound. Last time they played music while we waited.
It's getting to look like I won't get to listen to the podcast.
Thanks Matt the Pale...I'll download Firefox. Much appreciated.
And you were a riot on DJ Lena!
I had to reinstall windows media player to get it to stop loading as a winamp.
Thanks for the 'lostdogon' site TBM. Well, between your blog and that one, I've got my Autumn reading all lined up. Now that TLE is over, that won't be so hard to accomplish though.
BTW, there was a preview last night for a new movie called "The Prestige" coming soon, also about magic/illusions, with Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale. Looks fascinating.

http://www.theillusionist.com/
Thanks MTP, does this mean nobody else is hearing music and I'm not alone?
Have to ask, I've been working on this problem for a while now.
milkman...abc sent a press release last week announcing the finale of TLE would be tonight with DJ Dan.
oh geeze... I hope this glitch with the Radio Harvest site is resolved soon. I can't get it to work either.
I can get it to work....(firefox and real player) it's just buffering every five or so seconds and taking ages to start up again.
Looks like this might be a "wait for mp3 job" *groan*
Ah right, so the music with the buffering is the wrong stream (just reading the above comments now).
Ah well hopefully the other will run more smoothly (will they be linking that up on the Harvest page too then?).
Ok then... I'll check back later. You guys will have it figured out.
This link works with IE
http://www.radioharvest.com/harvest_radio.swf
Getting dead air using above link. What did I miss?
tiu... it should be in 5hr, 35 mins
MTP...Thanks for the link. It is working for me now in Explorer.
Tiu Brunow, try worldtimeserver.com and see what time it is in USA/California
So happy to hear that I should only hear "dead" air right now! Thanks, Matt! I guess I have it ready to go!
Is somebodt recording the feed?? They started practicing??
Or maybe not??!!??!??
I'm not sure what they're broadcasting now?!!?
It's two guys talking about dream interpretation?!?!?!?
I just e-mailed this to their instant messenger?!?!
I've been having a recurring dream that a really old monkey is Jamming Candy bars down
my throat in New York City. There are a bunch of strange symbols, at last
count thier were 70 and then I'm hiding out in a warehouse in Sri Lanka? A
young girl is screaming out about a conspiracy and a loudmouth radio DJ keeps shutting me up? What does it mean?
David from New Jersey
I hope they read it
lol passafist! i hope they read AND interpret your "dream".
GOOD EVENING TLEC!!!
I really think that was Rachel on radio harvest just a minute ago. Well, 4 more hours to go...hang in there everybody...
i just tuned into radio harvest.
what the hell are they talking about?
what about bikinis?
less than 4 hours left!
ill probably be back around 15-20 minutes before the start.
ill see you then.
Hey guys, I'm going to go pick up dinner and come back...I'll make a new post for us to chat in about 30 minutes before the DJ Dan show is scheduled to start.
P.S. I got a new computer and don't have all my software setup yet. Is anybody else going to try to record the show? Please email me if you record it or find a recording.
:)
I'm super excited to see what will happen. I'm also pumped about our Lost Experience Finale coming up this week. I can't wait to try to tie everything up with a nice red ribbon!
