 		After inverting the colors the image on site (Nothing changed. Just makes the letters more visible) has this:

[13] Project Ophiucus

the 13 in brackets must mean something.

 		If I had to guess odmichael, it'd be to do with the Zodiac thing on page 1/2 (Can't remember, too lazy to check Razz )
Ophiuchus is one of the 13 Zodiacial constellations, but is not a Zodiac itself.
Most likely there are 13 phases in the Project, and the background images are a countdown to the next phase. That's what I think anyway.

 		WOW

this has progressed a lot since I left this morning

Do you guys think that "LHR - London Heathrow, UK" has any significance? It is listed in the string twice.

 		please pass in your text
so i think this explains typewriter.swf.

http://bluemushrooms.com/whats-this-weird-page-in-my-wordpress-theme/

I don't know if this is common knowledge, but I figured I would post it just in case. What i gather is that it's some sort of error message. So I figure eventually this might turn into something, then again maybe not....

From the sIFR website:

How it works

sIFR is meant to replace short passages of plain browser text with text rendered in your typeface of choice, regardless of whether or not your users have that font installed on their systems. It accomplishes this by using a combination of javascript, CSS, and Flash. Here is the entire process:

1. A normal (X)HTML page is loaded into the browser.
2. A javascript function is run which first checks that Flash is installed and then looks for whatever tags, ids, or classes you designate.
3. If Flash isn't installed (or obviously if javascript is turned off), the (X)HTML page displays as normal and nothing further occurs. If Flash is installed, javascript traverses through the source of your page measuring each element you've designated as something you'd like "sIFRed".
4. Once measured, the script creates Flash movies of the same dimensions and overlays them on top of the original elements, pumping the original browser text in as a Flash variable.
5. Actionscript inside of each Flash file then draws that text in your chosen typeface at a 6 point size and scales it up until it fits snugly inside the Flash movie.

(source: http://www.mikeindustries.com/sifr

The typewriter.swf file is part of sIFR. It looks like the server has a program that, instead of displaying web pages in .html files, displays them through Flash. I'm not sure, I've never heard of that before.

 		Well, I do hope it comes to the "Detroit Metropolitian Wayne" Area, as that's near to where I live.
Keeping an eye on this, hoping it doesn't get to code-y...

 		I feel left out at the lack of an e-mail. LOL. Think the game's only officially open to those who got the e-mail, or was that just the trailhead?
