What we’ve been up to (or, what we’re saying we’ve been up to).
There are plenty of mysteries regarding the DHARMA Initiative: their (real) origins, their (real) goals, etc. But, while I wonder about these questions, I trust that they’ll be answered before Lost concludes next year. The Lost puzzles that keep me up at night are of a more mundane nature: Where the heck are the supply […]
…with Miss V at Cancun Taqueria, Berkeley. Why Mexican Coke? (Besides being at a taqueria, that is.) In Mexico, they still make Coke with sugar. In the U.S., Coca-Cola switched to high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in the mid-’80s. Whether you think HFCS is the Devil’s sweetener or not, it’s interesting to taste the difference between […]

So, while the DHARMA Initiative will continue its commitment to research in the fields of meteorology, psychology, parapsychology, zoology, electromagnetism, and Utopian social ideals, cost-cutting measures in other areas are an unfortunate consequence […]
…yesterday. If the rain in the photos looks fake—it is. The rain originally didn’t show up in these pix (it was raining, I swear!) so I Photoshopped some back in. It looks pretty much the same today. (Fake rain and all.)
