Forgive me if this is irrelevant information; I'm new to ARGs and I'm just so gosh-darned eager to contribute!

The birth certificate on Page 17 is for a Karen Mary Malone, and Karen's MySpace page lists her as married ... seems a safe bet that Malone is her maiden name, especially since the DoB would make her 27 years old, as listed on MySpace. Page 4 is David's birth certificate and a family tree for him ... is there a family connection between David and Karen that we're supposed to find?

On his IC to-do memo, why do you think "Upload Test Software" is starred? The memo is for the same day as his final video-blog.
I'm taking this as more evidence for my theory that he deliberately crashed something out of spite against a coworker (mentioned in the blog before, he speaks angrily about what would happen if the system crashed) and stumbled across something bad, forcing him to GTFO, to fall in chatspeak briefly. The timing is right; he drops this test-virus-software into the system, everything goes down, he sees something he shouldn't and is now on the run from "Them" (mentioned in the voicemail, when he's talking about how he shouldn't have mentioned Karen's name.)

Prove/Disprove?

More discussion on the Alice issue. I brought the site to Mike's attention, and he's being superbly useless on the whole matter. Someone else raised the question of IC (someone, who, might it be stated, robbed my icon *wounded pride*), so I tried to google it, but couldn't pull up anything. It's not a .com, a .org, or a .ie (the Irish web domain thing.) So I'm out of ideas on that front.

New pages have appeared at Alice's Evidence.

Page 3 is interesting; a death certificate for Michael McGrath, who is David's father according to the family tree on page 5. Also on Page 3 is a "personal items list" for David McGrath, with what looks like an IC letterhead and an employee number.

From page7--an idea for an ankle tat for David? Something identifying in a worst case scenario? Dunno

"Massive Head Trauma"?? Geeeeez, hell of a way to go...

Did anyone else notice that there are two more symbols on Page 16 than there are on the aftermath pages? One of them is just a speech bubble, but the one that looks like a trident seems a little suspect to me. Some sort of sign?

I noticed the additional signs, but couldn't make anything of them. The "trident" sign is a USB connection logo, for whatever that does or doesn't mean.

...well, now I just feel silly.

*Edit*
In an effort to redeem myself, two points.
First, a scorching OOG review of the site from someone that didn't quite catch onto it's viral nature right away... http://www.jazzbiscuit.com/2008/04/15/aftermath-08/
Second, in Alice's Evidence, pg 16, the lip symbol has an exclamation point on it. The same symbol on the website does not. This striking anyone else as fishy, or is the paranoia of this not updating fast enough for my nerves simply getting to me?

I found some text hidden in the black beside the USB symbol.

I cannot believe you pulled that out of nowhere.

So that's another literary allusion; first Greek mythology, then Alice In Wonderland (Alice's Evidence is chapter 12 in there), and now Rumpelstiltskin... Can anyone ponder a connection, beyond our PM being well-read?

O, and Jain, Dirty Inception is an anagram of Tiny Prediction. And so is:

Now I feel silly ... I'd been getting a weird Alice in Wonderland whisper in the back of my head from the poem on the Alice's Evidence site, but couldn't make anything of it. I didn't even think to check on the site name itself.

The hint to Jain certainly sounds like it's suggesting anagrams, but damned if I see anything besides "tiny prediction" and "dirty inception" on that list. I tried running Aftermath through the anagram generator, since it's on an Aftermath advert, but I got a lot of nothing impressive.
