Welcome to the Daily Roundup. Each day at the ThinkTalk Blog we will post some links that we find informative, interesting, or just plain funny. The goal is to let you know what else is going on out there, and ultimately help you with the development of your career.

I have a confession to make. I am a Lost fanatic. I love this show. I came to it about 4 eps in and was instantly hooked. It completely shattered my preconceived notions of the hour-long TV drama. I think the only network drama I watched until that point was Law and Order (man oh man, Angie Harmon . . . you're gonna need to gimme a sec).

I'm at the point now where they could do anything, literally anything, and I would keep watching the show. If the cast woke up next week and everything was a dream and they all went back to their mundane lives and the camera just followed Hurley driving around LA eating Mr. Cluck's with the guy from Road Trip who slayed the cheetah and playing 4 8 15 16 23 42 on the lottery I would still watch it. Simply because, at this point the show has been so amazing and has earned my trust and viewership.

This really struck me last night. I'm sitting in class (currently in Grad School) listening to a lecture about the rise of 19th Century communications technology. The professor makes an off-the-cuff reference while discussing Edison and the early stages of lighting systems to an English physicist named Michael Faraday. Well, if you've watched the last 2 seasons of LOST this name is clearly going to ring a bell. So, this obviously caught my attention. Then the professor mentions that Faraday was a leading developer in electromagnetism. Blew. My. Mind.

Next thing I knew I'm writing down "Faraday - magnetism - time travel." These are not the notes one should be taking in a graduate level course. Then I realized that those damn sneaky LOST creators, always one step ahead of us, had penetrated my mind. And that is when I realized that I am truly, deeply, utterly addicted to LOST.*
