Lost - Christian = Jacob?

Lost is back bigger and better than ever and I've just stumbled across the 'mobisodes' which are by ABC and supposedly 'missing scenes' that they want us to see.

Most don't really have much to add and do feel like deleted footage (something that ABC stress that they're not) but the last one, mobisode 13, has got me going wow!

Take a look:




So, what the hell is Christian Shepherd doing in the jungle. We know that Jack saw him (or thinks he saw him) in the very first episode and it's fairly widely regarded that Christian was the bloke in the chair in Jacobs cabin when Hurley found it, so could Christian = Jacob who in turn is the smoke monster which we know can appear as another human being (remember Yemi and Eko).

Who the hell knows, I certainly don't, and reading the Lost forums everyone seems to have different opinions. It's definately an interesting clip though!

"Hit The Decks" Competition entry

Here's my entry for a "Hit The Decks" style competition on the BackToTheOldSkool forum that I spent most of January pondering over.

Although in the end the competition didn't attract that much interest (4 entries in total) which was disappointing, I did learn a lot about FL Studio, the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), that I used and I hope to put that to good use in the future in producing my own tracks.

Here's the YouTube vids of the mix in action and you can download a 192kbs mp3 version of the mix here if you want to listen to it in it's uninterrupted entirety.

No prizes though unfortunately, but as I said to a colleague at work, it's just about the pride in others hearing your work and accomplishing what you set out to do (and the kudos of course ;) )

Quantum of Solace Countdown

I'm not a huge fan of Bond I have to admit but I know someone who is, ain't that right Mr. Jack ;)

Anyhow, I was requested to do a countdown timer to the new Bond film, Quantum of Solace, due out this year on November 7 and so as not to disappoint, here it is:
