TRIPOD FOR TROOPS
The United States Army celebrates its 230th birthday this week. In honor of the big milestone our colleagues at Tripod created TRIPOD FOR TROOPS.

With Tripod for Troops, military families can create online journals and post photos from digital cameras and camera phones. Families can even invite friends and other members of their communities to contribute and update content on a regular basis.

LOST
The amazing TV show LOST on ABC changed the primetime landscape in many ways this year. With the tremendous success of an actual 'scripted' drama - the final days of reality television may be upon us. The addictive drama is about 48 plane-crash survivors on a mysterious island.

There is even a funky official game, I am Lost

When we first started watching the show, we wondered how it could sustain our interest, but before long we had our first bit of 'appointment' TV since Buffy went off the air.

LOST has also done an incredible job of harnessing the web. In final episode of the season there was an embedded clue in a shot of a poster for the fictional Oceanic Air.

Oceanic Air

Once you get to the airline...many cool things can be found:
1. At the bottom, where it says "Travellers," enter Hurley's unlucky lottery numbers: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42.
2. Click the "Find" button.
3. Click on the row numbers on the flight's seating chart that match Hurley's numbers.

ZACH BRAFF
One of our favorite actors is Zach Braff from the show Scrubs. He is OK on the show but once we watched Garden State, the movie he wrote, starred in and directed we really thought he was the bomb.

He is also totally web savvy.

And then we found, the funniest thing Zach Braff has ever seen...

Hours after the Washington Post confirmed that W. Mark Felt is in fact, the legendary 'Deep Throat,' the ninety-one year old tied the knot with Trim Spa spokeswoman Anna Nicole Smith.

The picture is even funny.
