The job application made me think more like marketing for some software coding thing (how they stuck in TWO questions about those programs - asking if we had ever heard of them or what we thought about them). There was nothing on that application that pointed me towards the premise of Fringe. So that is why I questioned the initial link to the show.

That would be quite interesting. That might tie into the job application.

I figured this story was connected to something with commercial value - the production value and financing for the launch was too big for grassroots. If it does turn out to be part of a TV show, well, how cool is that???? I mean, we might be PART of the show? Wouldn't that be way trippy? That what we do could show up in the storyline on national tv? What a way to really go multimedia! I would not be dissappointed at all.

Looks like we've been revealed to be the marketing campaign behind Fringe eh? I should expect a sudden rush of lurkers right about......NOW!

FWIW, another possible piece of evidence connecting this to Fringe. I'd started a Fringe blog w/forum, and back on May 14th a mystery poster named "aluala" left a post in the fringe forum pointing to the Holomove ARG:

The post is here: http://www.nabble.com/Corrupt-a-Wish-tp17189916p17225114.html

I didn't think much of it then, but now that Fox's future blog is hinting at a connection, maybe aluala was trying to clue me in?

That description of Fringe is very, very bland.

I'd recommend checking http://fringe-online.net/ for a better description. I actually got notified that my old friends here at uF were onto the trail already by the people at F-O.

It's best summed up in one sentence by the show's psuedo-tagline. "What if the world was someone's personal science experiment?"


Has alot to do with Psuedoscience. (Astral projection, genetic mutation, invisibility, artificial fertility, etc. The kind of crackpot stuff people normally call crazy.)


EDIT: If the previous poster was thinking of X-Files.. It's kind of like X-Files, except that it's not paranormal/unexplained things. It's basically stuff that IS possible, just at the "fringe" of modern scientific research.

Hmmm... two FBI agents trying to solve unexplained phenomena... where I have I seen something like that before....

yeah.... *slaps forehead* I forgot about the move to CF, oops...

As for Fringe, I hope this is for that, (although JJ-esque virals seem to have a habit of failing to bring any closure...you know the one i mean) I saw the commercial for that the other day, 'm definitely gonna check that show out, viral or not...

[miss_seph]

aah well whatever, to be honest I was enjoying playing a game that didn't have a concrete commercial link with any one thing in particular

[konamouse]

Had to hunt around to figure out what you were talking about.

Just incase you all didn't know this, this appears to be an ARG for J.J. Abrams' new TV series, Fringe.

http://www.fox.com/futurefox/blogs/ Future on Fox, an official FOX blog, posted Holomove under the tag "fringe", after saying that we weren't looking hard enough for the Fringe ARG a few days ago.

So yeah, this is a part of something MUCH bigger.

Well, I woke up, and the sun was in the sky. Not sunny and 72° (shocking) but up. At least today. Looks like a storm is coming in, maybe tomorrow. So much for the holiday weekend. Point is, the sun came up today. Life moves on, and I guess I need to as well. Of course, I say that and then glance over at the bed, which is conspicuously empty. And then I go to work, and there's a chill in the air, even when there isn't. I was in a meeting yesterday, and she glossed over me like I was the intern. You know what's ironic? This…woman is messed / deranged / ill enough to think she needs to fake everything (poor choice of words) to make sure I do my work…and yet, I'm already doing it. The work, I mean. (btw, what kind of MBA program teaches the Eliza Marks' approach to motivation, anyway? I don't even know if she has an MBA. How telling is that? We never really talked about her—she always kept the focus on Nate, Nate, Nate.) Sorry. My train of thought derailed. I didn't bust my ass in school to phone it in, now. I'm an excellent coder, good at my job, better than just about everyone I've come across. And I wasn't placed on this world to collect a paycheck. I'm getting steamed, now. More like, pissed off. How dare she think that I'd need motivation TO DO MY JOB. Fact is, I've made progress. A lot of it. But let me tell you, I'm not going to race over to her desk and give her a big hug and tell her all of her worries are over, that we're getting close on ironing out the issues on this thing. That her 19% might actually be worth something, when I'm done. Let her stew. Let her think her little "project" is still a full tilt SNAFU. — I don't know whether I should hate her, or feel sorry for her. This sucks. 70 hour weeks ≠ meeting people. At least, meeting people like her. I know it's stupid, completely wrong, but she's…made a mark. I'm an idiot. I can't help it. But you know what they say. Time wounds all heels.

Shes trying to save Nate from being killed!?

I go away for a day and all hell breaks loose! Anyway, I've tried reverse phone number lookup and sometimes I get Los Angeles and the other times i get a San Antonio address....
