I thought I'd mentioned it before, but can't remember. Yeah, c2c2 brings up a lot of mentions of Arabidopsis Thalianus (IIRC) - a plant which seems pretty important in genetics. Not sure how that ties in just yet, except that genetics is important in all this. c2c2 is like some "model" plant, which (I think) means it's useful when doing experiments.

Also, I can't remember if Nick did genetics at Informatics or not, even if Eric says he did Wink FWIW, half of my degree there was AI, which involved doing a lot of genetic algorithm stuff (ah yes, I remember the ol' "phenome-genome-mutatey-selection" days... ah, memories.. ahem). So some of these pages make a (small) amount of sense.

BTW, I ran the rest of the images through a hex editor, but couldn't see anything. Except one of them said "Ducky" at the start, but I think that might just be a coincidence :-/

An interesting little plant...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabidopsis_thaliana

Quote:
Arabidopsis thaliana, commonly called arabidopsis, thale cress, or mouse-ear cress, a small flowering plant related to cabbage and mustard, is one of the model organisms for studying plant sciences, including genetics and plant development. It plays the role for agricultural sciences that mice and fruit flies (Drosophila) play in human biology.


And, down the page a bit further:


Quote:
Non-Mendelian inheritance

In 2005, scientists at Purdue University discovered in arabidopsis an alternative to previously known mechanisms of DNA repair, which one scientist called a "parallel path of inheritance". It was observed in mutations of the HOTHEAD gene. Plants mutant in this gene exhibit organ fusion, and pollen can germinate on all plant surfaces, not just the stigma. After spending over a year eliminating simpler explanations, it was indicated that the plants "cached" versions of their ancestors' genetic code going back at least four generations, and used these records as templates to correct the HOTHEAD mutation and other Single nucleotide polymorphisms.

so looks like Eric has a myspace....http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=78499698

left a message on Morgan Webb's (girl from G4tv) myspace page saying

"May 27 2007 10:49A

Hey Morgan... a message thankfully only you will understand... 6op 1 Libra"

His page is private, but I've sent a friend request. Maybe there will be related things within the page? Then again it could just be someone following along. We will see.

This is so odd. Could you link to the page where he left the message? And how did you find that page to look there?

Hmm!

Okay - I've just had a lead that I can't reveal just yet, but it mentions 'noise' quite clearly.
Can someone good with images try to get the 'noise' out of that blue pic on 6op1libra? There's apparently the "rabbit" clearly behind the noise. I'm not sure what it all means, but its definitely something to do with that pic (or the pic prior to that one - 6op1libra_.gif)

Okay. In the page source of the cached page of Midnight Creative, I found something that said:

Quote:
META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="midnight creative, midnightcreative, eric hachlinski, Hachlinski, OH, O.H., Wired, creative, follow the white rabbit, 42, trillian, mo francis"


mo francis - Mason told me that Scribe told him that mo was the chemical symbol for the element #42... so I looked. Molybdenum. When I searched further, I found Francis Crick - most noted for being one of the co-discoverers of the structure of the DNA molecule!

Crick also studied the origin of life, which he considered to be that life arrived on Earth from somewhere else in our solar system. Foily!

http://www.astrobio.net/news/article1107.html
Quote:
Crick was not content to sit back on his laurels after winning one of the top prizes in science, however. He continued to study the mysteries of life, such as the nature of consciousness, or the possibility that RNA preceded the development of DNA. In 1973, he and the chemist Leslie Orgel published a paper in the journal Icarus suggesting that life may have arrived on Earth through a process called 'Directed Panspermia.'

I still don't see the link with anything on that, tipsila.
It's probably just a co-incidence, what else can we draw from it? He's dead, it's not like we can contact him, or get any more information to link it to.

Francis is a common name, it's like 'Al' being on the site and relating that to Einstein.

Must leave... my flight leaves from gate 3... I hope it goes without
incident this time. I wish I knew where I was going also.


Eric is based in Michigan. Flight leaving around 7.43pm out of a Michigan airport.
Any ideas?

And another email from Eric H.

Eric wrote:
They noticed an error... a critical one perhaps... I'm not sure if
they are involved with AA... I'm not sure of much anymore. I don't
know why they seem interested when there appears to be something big
soon. Why I am supposed to contact you is a mystery also - they seem
to involve people for a reason though.

I got a message from them though that stated: "...there is a
misspelling of 'seventynine' on AA3's page that makes us think we have
been comrpmised. We expect you to find a way to take care of it."

Now I have no idea how to take care of this. Again, I feel like a pawn
in something I have no control over - I guess I was in the wrong place
at the worng time which happens now and then in Detroit. I'm very
worried.

Ooo, what time did you recieve that email? He said he was leaving for a plane... let's see if that email puts him as never having gone on the plane.


Eric also changed his myspace picture to this:

I'm not sure if this point was brought up earlier. While it doesn't lead us to special results, it does add more significance to the wonderful 1:18.

Allegedly, the center verse of the Bible falls within Psalm 118.

Also, remember http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=42+19%2740.00%22+N83+3%276.26%22W ?
Apparently, it's a place called First Street Deck.

621 First St.
313.965.0463

I found it via http://www.detroit2005.com/mapo/main_area.html

You can do a search for it on that link, if you don't believe me, or for the address in googlemaps. It's the same place.


...Anyone gonna call?
