Get LOST?

by

Consider it a grand social experiment. University students are trying to connect 7 million people, by playing a ‘game’ called LOST. Really, it’s just a meme, tracking connections until they reach their goal number, but it’s sort of cool, seeing who is connected where. Think of it as Six Degrees gone global and then some.

You have to be invited to play.

And you know what? I’ve just invited YOU!

Go to www.lost.eu/f406 to play.

Question #3:
You’re the editor of a general-interest magazine. What will you put on the cover of your Christmas issue?




I like Christmas magazines, so I did go with the cheesy Christmas cover, but there is no special shopping guide, and no ads. (One can dream). Click the picture for a better, readable view.

December Question of the Day

A few years ago, when ElectricTangerine.com was more than an empty husk of a website, several of us wrote essays/blog entries/responses to questions selected from A Christmas Conversation Piece.

You are hereby invited to join me on a similar adventure this year. From December 6th (St. Nicholas Day) through December 24th (Christmas Eve), I’ll be answering prompts from the book. I plan to use them for Holidailies entries, but you aren’t obligated to do the same.

Questions will be posted here and in my LiveJournal between 9PM and 2AM the night before. (For purposes of this exercise, the “day” will begin around 7:00 AM Central time, and end at whatever time you go to bed that night.) I’m asking participants to commit to at least nine of the eighteen days. (No, they don’t have to be consecutive). If you don’t come from a tradition that celebrates Christmas (even in its secular form), never fear, I try to choose questions that are wintry, not just Christmassy, and you can interpret them as you will.

If interested, please post a comment.
