- A Geographical Study of Lost (warning: very large image download). Despite the massive wealth of information, it still can’t explain the greatest mystery yet: why Mr. Friendly was nominated for an Emmy and not, say, Michael Emerson, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, or Terry O’Quinn (not to mention the show itself). (guest submission from Cartographer Andrea)

- Two blasts from the past regarding Wired Magazine, which I used to read cover-to-cover every month during the dotcom boom:
- Key early web designer Jeffrey Veen discusses Hotwired and posts vintage screenshots. (spotted on Kottke.org)
- Dead-tree dinosaur Conde Nast finally rescues Wired News from online dinosaur Lycos. The latter will still retain old Dork Report favorites HotBot (the best search engine during the pre-Google dark ages), Hotwired (now offline), and Webmonkey (where this Dork Reporter learned his chops).

- Mock up your fantasy Mac OS X “Leopard” screenshot for a cool $1000 in prizes. (spotted on IconFactory)
