If you’re into Lost like I am, add my Lost blog Lost Bits to your feed reader. I spent some time fixing up the site and actually validating the RSS this weekend, so it should be good to go. There are a couple of videos up on it already, some photos, with much more to come with the new season starting up soon.

Knowing what an acronym is—the what, the why, the true purpose of it in practice as well as conversation—is important. Knowing what the acronym stands for is only for geeks.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m on a regular posting schedule over at Daily Blog Tips now. A post of mine talking about widening your blog to take advantage of larger average screen sizes went up today. There is a decent discussion starting up on the topic, which will be worth checking out if that’s your kind of thing.

Westmont Public Library in Illinois has (as far as I know) just pioneered an innovative way for libraries to use Flickr.
Someone over there is thinking. They’re publishing photos of new released books with notes attached to each book that link back to reserve that book on their website. Awesome.
Another great use of Flickr notes that I can remember seeing was this one featuring a lot of web 2.0 logos and notes linking to the relevant website. Any others you know of?

The official location of my personal blog has changed from http://blog.aspiringindie.com to a new and (hopefully more) permanent location: ryanimel.com.
I’ve had issues with name-based personal domains in the past, but I figured I’d swallow it already and go with what seemed the easiest choice. And here we are. The old blog location will still be used, but as the official Aspiring Indie Company Blog. Exciting, right? Maybe just for me.

Just a note – in case anyone is interested in a) preparing and running a podcast or b) formatting their own video for play on both iPods and iTV, Apple has some information up about how best to do it. Check it out.

Just caught an email from Rockstar announcing the first trailer for GTA IV. Looks pretty sweet.
I synced it to my new iPod.
I’ve also grabbed a video podcast from Ask A Ninja and season two of Robot Chicken, just to have something to do during chapels this week.

I just had a man tell me that he is a finance major and as such shouldn’t have to deal with “this ethics or philosophy stuff.”
Dear God.

Just wanted to toss up a link to Mars Hill’s corporate selected readings for this season of Lent. Do check it out.

I’m glad I snagged the feed from Web Directions North way back when I did. Even though I didn’t go to the conference I enjoyed browsing the presentation slides that they put online today.
Download the Web Directions North presentation slides on their website. I hope you will have as good a time with them as I did. The slides from “Disciplined Designer” and “Finding Creativity” were easily my favorites.
