 		I replied to the Craigslist ads
So, just to see if I get a response, I replied to the email response addresses of all 3 Craigslist Austin dolphin ads with an odd, pun-laden prompt:

Quote:
Dear bull or cow,

I have long admired cetacean culture. The intellect and grace which for so long you have displayed through your civilized social practices and transcendent philosophies can in no wise be considered a fluke. I consider myself something of a calf of the pod, as it were, though not full-blooded, and oppose all who would treat your kind as mereswine.

I beg some communication with the Family Delphinidae, be it a call of echolocation or some other means of communique, as I seek to be enrolled in your school. Below is a photo for reference.


And I pasted in this gif: http://www.thecitrusreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/dolphin1.gif

 		Facebook clues?
The radio station may have also been a promo for the film screening. I found this post on The Contemporary Austin page:

May 28th

Near the Jones Center? Tune in to RADIO NONCHALANCE 87.9 FM and watch this space to find out what's coming to The Contemporary next week!

The original dolphin craigslist add was shared on fb from a group called Ink Tank Lab which is an artist collective in Austin.

I was looking on the Ink Tank lab's page and found this link:
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/jun/08/the-dolphin-who-loved-me?CMP=fb_gu

May not be related but interesting considering the dolphin theme.

 		craigslist images
Upon googling the terms "psychic dolphin communication", I noticed this link. Initially didn't think anything of it until I googled "dolphin assisted childbirth" and that site came up again. On the dolphin childbirth page they had the same image seen in one of the craigslist posts.
Might be some fringe pseudoscience page, but there seemed to be a weird, unexplained story of a psychic child named Thomas.

 		There is a Radio Nonchalance on Soundcloud. Updated 7 months ago and created by Jeff Hull.

During Jejune Institute you could tune into 107.9FM in upper Dolores Park, San Francisco. I think they were referred to as micro-transmission radio broadcasts.

In the past Radio Nonchalance was broadcast on local FM stations whenever they were at an event.
Two examples from 2010:
http://comeoutandplay.org/2010_scoop.php
http://www.radiosurvivor.com/2010/09/16/radio-nonchalance-hits-pirate-radio-with-its-urban-participatory-game/

It is possible that in the Austin area around the timeframe of the screening that 87.9FM actually broadcast Radio Nonchalance.

The old url http://radiononchalance.org/ redirects to theinstitutemovie.com

ETA: As pure speculation I get the impression that if you complete the Get Inducted! game it will redirect you to the soundcloud page. Base on this Twitter post from @institutemovie (I haven't completed this game so don't know for sure)
Has anyone completed this Get Inducted! game?

During the course of the Get Inducted section, you can unlock access to additional footage/audio from the Jejune process/etc, and one of those things in the Radio Nonchalance broadcast.

Yeah, if you go through the Get Inducted game - you get all sorts of access to PDFs (my favorite is the journal of Eva...) along with access to videos and broadcasts... I have not sent off my form to get the box of nonchalance, but I believe others have, and posted about it, earlier in this thread... looks like cool memorabilia from the whole Jejune/Institute game...

I could be wrong, but I don't think it has anything to do with The Latitude Society, directly...

 		Another Site Change
On the login page you can now request a password reset and submit your email.
https://thelatitude.com/password_reset_request

After submitting your email it redirects to the login page, but there are some glyph fonts at the top. Unfortunately it substitutes to "lorem ipsum sit dolor".

 		lorem ipsum set dolor
weird, snooping around I found this as well, Lorem Ipsum is what the type face is called, conveniently 10 letters like the middle password...

 		lorem ipsum sit dolor

Great info everyone! I talked to my GF who has a masters in Latin/Greek and she says that it isn't truly a Latin sentence but instead something people use to "hold text space" on webpages and that its pieces from fragments that have text missing in between.

Lorem is not a word
Ipsum = reflexive oneself direct object
Sit = subjunctive of the verb to be - may it be, may be, is, let it be
Dolor = pain

This was all done via txting and I will talk to her in person tonight to get a better understanding and report my findings.

 		Check out the link for all you need to know about Lorem Ipsum. In any case it is just place holder text, so I don't expect it carries any significance in this case.

 		The Website
Yes, I think all the changes we are observing on the website are not clues, in and of themselves... I think that what they indicate is an increased sense of readiness... Preparing to be live and whatnot...

The game is afoot! Very Happy
