NEW! Lost chili in 15-ounce size!

Thursday, August 21st, 2008 by calixton

A while ago, our good friend and fellow Lost-watcher, Kamen Rider, pointed out that his local DIY DHARMA Initiative Chili supplier (Costco) had changed the size of the cans it was carrying from 19 ounces to 15 ounces. Accordingly, the DI Chili labels we had posted no longer fit properly. Yes, you could still slap [...]

Photographing microbes…

Monday, August 18th, 2008 by calixton

…giant, cute microbes.
Some time ago, Miss T discovered the anime Moyashimon: Tales of Agriculture (もやしもん). The show, set in Japan, follows a university ag-student with the ability to see microbes without aid of a microscope. The kicker—and what probably caught Miss T’s attention in the first place—is that the microorganisms our ag-student sees aren’t like [...]

Lost potatoes in cans

Thursday, August 7th, 2008 by calixton

Just because we missed out on all things Lost at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con—Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof at a showrunner’s discussion; getting tested at the (new) Dharma Initiative recruiting booth; and the big Lost panel in Hall H (capacity 6,500)—doesn’t mean Max Pictures has given up on Lost until Season 5 begins next [...]

Octagon Global Recruiting…

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008 by calixton

…in San Diego.
With the San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) about to start, Miss T and I are expecting some news on our favorite filmed-in-Hawaii-but-not-set-in-Hawaii show, Lost. In addition to Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof taking part in a showrunner’s discussion on Friday and the big Lost panel on Saturday, Octagon Global Recruiting will have a “recruiting” [...]

Son of Rambow

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008 by calixton

Yesterday morning I had my head drilled by the dentist—not so fun. Yesterday afternoon Miss T and I caught Son of Rambow at the Davis Varsity Theatre—very fun.
The movie reminded me of an ’80s John Hughes film—maybe because it’s set in the ’80s and has an awesome ’80s (albeit short) soundtrack. There’s also a kindheartedness [...]

Thursday, but no Lost

Thursday, June 5th, 2008 by calixton

Crud.
What are we supposed to do on Thursday nights now? Until 2009, I mean.
I suppose you could look at the bright side—Lost returning in February 2009 gives you eight months to stock up on DHARMA Initiative products for your Season 5 premiere party.
Yeah.
Well, here’s a labeling project: DHARMA Initiative Peanuts.

You can make your very own [...]

Lost without Lost

Monday, June 2nd, 2008 by calixton

Ah, Lost, what are we going to do without you for the next 8 months?
It’s possible to relive all four seasons online at abc.com, and Seasons 1 through 3 have been conveniently collected into DVD box sets, of course. If you don’t have the time to re-watch all 70+ hours of Seasons 1 through 3, [...]

More Lost soda 2-liters

Thursday, May 29th, 2008 by calixton

Do you like your DHARMA Initiative sodas in the 2-liter size? Have you been missing the sharp, effervescent flavor of DHARMA Initiative Lemon Lime Soda or the super-sweetness of DI Orange? Well, wait no more, just download the following PDFs—

DHARMA Initiative Lemon Lime Soda (2L)
DHARMA Initiative Orange Soda (2L)

—print, trim, and paste, et voila, DHARMA [...]

Lost soda now available in 2-liter bottles

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008 by calixton

Okay, it’s a little late, but here’s a DIY DHARMA Initiative 2-liter cola label:

DHARMA Initiative Cola (2L)

It’s similar to the Insanely Great Tees cola label that they had to pull down months ago. (I guess that’s why I never bothered to produce one before—that, and I don’t get soda in 2-liter bottles.)
An orange soda and [...]

ダーマ・イニシアチブ 日本酒

Friday, May 2nd, 2008 by calixton

With Bernard and Jin pulling seafood out of the tropical waters surrounding the island, another thing our Lost survivors could use is some good sake. Actually, with all the show’s topsy-turvy timeline and plot zaniness we could all probably use some good sake.

Someone who did get some good sake recently was our good friend Kamen [...]
