Fox.com now has a trailer for season 6. Check out at 24trailer.com/

This isn’t news (this video was made available by the Lost Experience). I just hadn’t seen it yet. So, you Lostees who haven’t been in the Lost Experience, enjoy the fruits of others wasted time (i mean labor).

On the whiteboard in my office I have a list of obstacles for a site I’m working on (and really the net today). My list is really long, well, actually it only has one element in it, fragmentation.

I define the issue of fragmentation as following:

fragmentation is the byproduct of a distributed democratic work environment and/or systems that try to reduce complexity through modularism. While it seems like separation of concerns makes sense to solve individual unrelated issues, it turns out that issues are more related than we originally thought.

Every time we say, the easiest way for us to do such and such is to do something new, we are most of the time incidentally adding to the issue at hand.

If we can solve this problem the world will suddenly feel more natural. Aggregation (allowing you to piece together relevant pieces of your life) is a partial solution, but it only partially fixes the problem because it depends too much on the user’s intelligence and ability to arrange their own life. We need to be more of an integrator and a relater to solve this ultra-pertinent issue.

Kelly and I always scoff at these kind of ads in the newspaper. Porcelain fire-breathing dragon plate. Pink-Princess doll with real hair. This one we had to do a double-take. I personally like the star made of bones.

Here’s a pic from my birthday dinner at Fujiyama Japanese Steakhouse. James loved the mini volcano made out of an onion! And I enjoyed my teriyaki chicken and steak. Mmmmm.

Green that is. Because of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, you can save a lot of money this next tax season if you make energy improvements to your lifestyle. The policy offers tax credits to taxpayers who purchase not only Hybrid vehicles (which was available as a credit in previous tax years), but also items like main air circulating fans, natural gas, propane, or oil furnaces, and many other energy efficient items. I am personally considering purchasing the xPower Energy Saver that works like a giant battery on your power supply, so that you can keep the extra surges. Supposedly, it can help you save up to 25% on your home utility bill.

The tax credits are dollar for dollar benefits to the taxpayer. It’s basically like the government is paying for you to be more efficient. The maximum credit for all taxable years (2006 and 2007) is $500, and no more than $200 can be attributable to expenses for windows. Still, the IRS is shelling out some major cash for this. Thanks Uncle Sam!
