   He is a total inspiration. I don’t love all of his work, but it all has a spark that makes you want to peek twice into the mystery box.

   Can’t wait for the new Trek. I think its going to be a prequel type story…

   Yes. He brought it on stage, still sealed from his childhood.

   ‘What are you going to write that is worthy of me?’”…hahaha! that’s brilliant!

   i can’t look at my MBPro in the same way now…without imagining the isight starting to glow deep red, looking at me disappointedly as I type…and a HAL-like voice saying, "I’m sorry Nels, I’m afraid I can’t do that."

   looking forward to watching the podcast of this one.

   That box takes on a whole new meaning after last night’s episode of LOST.

   This week’s episode contained a reference to a "magic box" at a very critcal point in the episode’s and the shows plot progression. Theories are abound as to what the box is a metaphor for, whether or not it exists and what it might consist of. I have my own theory that the box is a metaphor for J.J. Abrams’s own mystery box you journaled here.

   This is very interesting…. mystery and such. "The Tao that can be spoken of is not the real Tao."
