Ramblings VI

Posted on by LBDG

I seem to have hit another of those lengthy posting lags while the world gets in the way.  Ramblings time: Been digging the new Back To The Future Game from Telltale.  It’s essentially BTTF IV, starting off 6 months after the trilogy ends in 1986 and has Marty bouncing back and forth between 1931 and…

iPad 2 + iBookstore Optimization?

Posted on by LBDG

Apple’s iPad 2 will allegedly be announced tomorrow, which may explain the newest search result I found for Timely Persuasion: (At least it’s a search result I haven’t seen before.  And Google claims it was updated 1 day ago.) Wonder if this means iBooks will be getting a big promotional push to coincide with the new…

Ramblings V

Been awhile since I posted… Saw the 25th anniversary re-release of Back To The Future a few weeks ago.  Still holds up and still the best.  Noticed this time around that in many of the 1955 scenes George McFly has his shirt only tucked in on one side, which reminded me of Daniel Faraday from…

But is he really bad?  The only named character in this…

Name Dropped on Daily OM

Posted on by LBDG

Odd… http://www.dailyom.com/articles/2/2010/22950.html Should I be flattered? Do I get royalties? Seriously, it does feel like it could really be a TP reference directed at the narrator in regards to how he handles the sister situation. And I list the release date of the book (Feb 29) as the “birthday” on MySpace, which would be a…

Fun little award courtesy of my friend LibbyHyaline at the TimeLoopTheory forum, in honor of my repeated ramblings on everyone’s favorite episode of LOST.

Ramblings IV

Posted on by LBDG

Been re-watching LOST in anticipation of the final season.  Finished off Season 1, then decided to jump straight to Season 5 presuming these two will be the most relevant to Season 6.  I’m still impressed with how well the time travel was handled in a “Whatever Happened, Happened” sort of way last year.  Biggest hindsight…
