Oh man it’s a map of seven hatches. I see swan and caduceus, the top two are unreadable, left is unreadable, one of the right ones looks like a monkey. We’re still not sure if there is a line/animal hatch, and I don’t see arrow hatch anywhere on here (one theory I have is that the arrow hatch was simply a depleted armory of some kind, but it still seems odd that it’s not on this map. It might be one of the four rectangular buildings).
Also, swan hatch is apparently right next to two of the rectangles, and it has some weird sealed-off area to the east (something we’ve already seen?). The scratched-out hatch and the two dotted-line hatches are certainly interesting little touches.
If Locke doesn’t tell the other survivors about this, I will call television and say some mean things. Stupid non-communicative fictional characters.
*embarrassed look* Sorry. I had to tell someone.

UPDATE: This is much, much better, although I haven’t heard if it’s confirmed true yet.

MORE THOUGHTS:
“Possible location of zoological research facility”
“De-territorial of ursus maritimus through gene therapy”
Looks like we understand the bears a little better now.
Cerberus = the security system?
“Suspected Shutdown Date: 10.28.84″
This works with my theory that Dharma is gone, and a new group is running this thing. It also lines up with the age of the music in swan hatch, but doesn’t explain the new drop.
“PRD every 5-8 months”
Parachute Ration Drop?
“Dharmatel intranet”
References to servers/hub/etc certainly allow for a more conventional answer to the question of how Walt contacted Michael.
JUST CAUGHT THIS:
Valenzetti is an interesting name….a Google search says we should be watching Valenzetti.com, EnzoValenzetti.com and ValenzettiEquation.com (all were registered last Sunday night).
I am again inspired to alter my life, briefly, then slip back into my old ways. This time, the plan is:
Keep learning Japanese.
With flashcards, audio files, and a nice little book, I’ve made sort of a fresh start on this recently. Perhaps I will finally overcome my record of short-lived enthusiasm for difficult subjects.
Exercise more.
I have an exercise machine coming in the mail. No, really. It works for the rest of America: Why Not Me?
Increase Typing Speed/Learn To Touchtype.
Using some freeware (at first), I plan to increase my already formidable typing speed by using more than three fingers. It’s finally time.
Increase Reading Speed.
This one can wait a little bit, but I’d like to learn some Photo Reading eventually.
A Daily/Weekly Quote Of Time Spent On These Items.
Quotas always work for me in the short-term, but tend to fail after two months or so. Fingers crossed.
Illustrate With Tablet.
Having a Wacom tablet will greatly increase/improve my method of design, which usually relies on scanning penstrokes and layouts and recreating them digitally. A tablet removes a step.
Eek: Polyphasic Sleeping.
As of tonight, I am no longer bound by the trappings of a secure society built around night and day: I am a beneficiary of our evolutionary ability to maintain long periods of alertness and evasion of saber-toothed tigers through evenly-spaced 20-minute naps.
What will be good: Polyphasic sleeping frees up between five and eight hours of every day. Let’s face it: I sleep too much. On the weekends, I can go for eleven hours, but most of those hours are just drifting between levels of consciousness, slowly building up headaches. Then, I feel groggy all day. During the week, I feel my best with only five hours of sleep (more than this tends to depress me), but I have big circadian issues at around 6. Polyphasic sleeping supposedly will keep me in this state of alertness, give me free time at night, and hasn’t been proven to kill anyone yet.
What will be not as good: If you skip a nap, you reportedly crash really, really hard. There’s no alternative to sleeping in my car over lunch breaks. This sounds like it might be way too difficult and inconvenient to keep up, but, the benefits might make it worth it.
Why this is the best time to try it: I have a ton of freelance to do, Japanese to learn, typing to improve, and I have a good three weeks before my potentially psychotic sleep-deprived behavior has an opportunity to really wreck my career and relationships.
IT BEGINS TONIGHT. On the way home, I will pick up a kitchen timer and perhaps one of those stupid eye-covers. Hooray for experimentation!
I should’ve said this some time ago, but now there are enough widgets to really back it up: Google Homepage is fannnncy.

Quick bookmark list of often-visited sites
This is the current build, I just dropped my bloglines indicator and a few other search tools (as well as a little Sudoku game that was taking up too much space). If you can set it up clever-like and integrate it with your other webstuff, this is actually realllly useful.
Literature Map - Find out what to read next. Apparently, Salinger, Palahniuk, and Hornby all hang out over near Steinbeck. Maybe I should read some Steinbeck. Hm.
Russian Tea How-To - “If you introduce Russian tea-drinking into some non-Russian company, don’t forget to label the zavarka pot! Otherwise, ignorant people might drink its content, and die of a heart attack as a consequence. You, in turn, may face lawsuits or vendetta depending on the culture you live in.”
Best Way To Learn Guitar - Great wiki about guitar instruction.
WEB STUFF:
CSS Tweak - Combines your stylesheet attributes into the minimum amount of data. If you want to be able to edit the stuff later without a headache, click “leave my layout alone.”
30 AJAX Tutorials - I’m going to learn all of these someday. No, really.
Ten CSS Trick You Might Not Know - Some are elementary, but I love the box-model hack.
I should do an update with some new design sites I’ve found at some point. Hmm.
If you’re not on my friends list, you won’t be able to see it fullsize, so, join up.
(This post title is, of course, from one of the new Dr. Octagon songs. I love it)
