March 31, zombies and Lost – two of my favorite things

Mar 31 2010 Published by under Bricks of the Dead, Network World, TV Tyrant

First, I reviewed the awesome Zombieville USA iPhone app for the awesome Bricks of the Dead Lego Zombie comic site.

Then, I reviewed the most recent episode of Lost, which focused on our star-crossed lovers, Jin and Sun. On TVTyrant.

I also wrote up a piece on this really cool process created by a couple of profs from University of Washington that manipulates the pixels in any program, enabling the user to customize the program to their liking. It open sources the program without tampering with the code. On Network World.
