I suggest that someone do what TXB did with humanclock, but use humancalender, and the date October 25 (see hivekeeper.blogspot.com).

yeah, like the clue that took us to the Angelina Jolie story, that wasn't a post put there by people in the game, but a set of clues that led us to something you could find reliably on the internet.
there may well be something for us to find there, but i doubt it'll be put there by the site owner intentionally

Metal Machine Music is an album by lou reed consisting entirely of 1 hour of random guitar distortion and feedback. There is barely any rhythm, no melody, and a lot of feedback from two guitars. I just went and looked info up on it, and there ya go. I might actually buy it now, just to hear it. Not that I expect much, but yeah.

anyone who has ever heard metal machine music gets that joke...

"Metal Machine Music seems a bit less startling today, now that bands like Sonic Youth and the Boredoms have created some sort of context for it, but it hasn't gotten any more user friendly with time � while Thurston Moore may go nuts on his guitar like this for three or four minutes at a stretch, Metal Machine Music goes on and on and on for over an hour, pausing only for side breaks with no rhythms, melodies, or formal structures to buffer the onslaught. If you're brave enough to listen to the whole thing, it's hard not to marvel at the scope of Reed's obsession; it's obvious he spent a lot of time on these layered sheets of noise, and enthusiasts of the violent guitar freakout may find it pleasing in short bursts. But confronting Metal Machine Music from front to back in one sitting is an experience that's both brutal and numbing. It's hard to say what Lou Reed had in mind when he made Metal Machine Music, and Reed has done little to clarify the issue over the years, though he summed it up quite pointedly in an interview in which he said, "Well, anyone who gets to side four is dumber than I am." For the record, I did get to side four. But I got paid for it. "

I figured Id share my findings. This is what I posted elsewhere.

I have been talking back and forth with the guy from humanclock.com, Daniel Craig Giffen. He said that he isnt related to these guys, and they one day linked to him for apparently no reason. in addition, he said he wasnt excepting any of our colony pics, but obviously the one above was, so i dunno....
I took a bunch of little notes.

By the way, I have read everything on that website. Even the news back to like 2001. I read it for an hour. The MITS 4k Basic is from 1975. He recommends Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music" - 1975 also... This guy rode around Australia on a bike - 12,500 miles 2 years ago. He has gone 4 years with no advertising. Didnt the xbox come out in 2001, 4 years ago? He sold some weird thing called the reality remapper with the pieces of cardboard sign. the cardboard sign in the pictures has a friendster account at cardboardSPLAThumanclock.com. He mentions Richard Buckner a lot. richardbuckner.com
"The difference between 24 years old and 31 years old is that I would spend an hour making an ethernet cable at 24, at age 31 I cant be bothered with it".
A lot of the pictures are weird. Weird stuff. The uploaded ones arent his, but cardboard signs ones are his for the most part. theres really weird ones.

other links are to ebay auctions he has had, expired.

He rode a General Lee orange bike
He likes music such as Mission of Burma

thats pretty much everything i uncovered on the website

hmm, on the front page of the site now - "time is on our side. check the facts."

Any ideas? Could this be a reference to humanclock? Its all really odd...
