Also courtesy of BestFriendChris, this is Ron Daubert's personal website. He's got some biographical information there, what looks like a shoutout to the ARG community, a blog, and another email addy on both the "contact" and "about me" pages. I've emailed it but no response as yet.

Maybe not so meaningful, but it seems that Ron always uses song titles as the titles for his blog entries...

"Crazy" - several artists, from Patsy Cline to Aerosmith
"It's a Mistake" - Men at Work
"How Soon is Now" - The Smiths (covered by Love Spit Love among others)
"Somewhere Out There" - from "An American Tail", sung by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram
"And She Was" - Talking Heads
"Nowhere Man" - Beatles
"Pick a little talk a little" - from "The Music Man", written by Meredith Wilson
"Love is All Around" - Trogs, REM, others
"Don't Worry Be Happy" - Bobby McFerrin of course
"Violently Happy" - Bjork

Quite an eclectic taste in music, has our Ron. There are more but I am getting sleepy and the more I look at this the less I think it's anything other than Ron being clever... unless someone else is seeing something I am missing...

Ron seems to be quite the ARG fan. I too have emailed him and am waiting for a reply.

O_O I'm shocked at our Ron. Yes, he may look reasonably hot in the photos Embarassed but how rude is he in the entries! Ha ha!

How could you forget Wet, Wet, Wet?!! Outrageous!

Or maybe you were spared that awful rendition of Love Is All Around which stayed Number 1 for, like, EVAR!

If you check Ron's blog, at the left side is the menu bar with all the links. Click the About Me link. According to IE, the link should lead to www.ronsworld.org/bio.html. It is dead...

Is it strange that some-one who has a killer-website with awesome flash-works, and who has been working as a computer-guru and is working as a webmaster can't keep track of his own website or am I just seeing ghosts where none is to be found?

EDIT:
According to later messages, just my computer that is f**cked up as usual

BTK, I used the "About Me" link and it worked. It takes you to a Flash intro, then on to Ron's main page.

For the record. I did not offer to sleep with him, just ask if there was anything I could do (i.e. submit to TT was the intention) to be accepted as an Online Advisor. If he choose to take it as an offer of a good roll in the hay, well, that's his fantasy (for which I was willing to sacrifice myself in the name of furthering this game).

Wow I'm surprised he so openly talks about ARGs, considering he is a character in one.

It gives this ARG a whole new dimension Very Happy

And, his love of puzzles - still keeps me thinking about those song titles. I wish I knew more about music and albums. Maybe the titles of the albums from which these songs come from? Or the names of the artists?

Maybe it's a list of numbers. Find the artist's name, find the album, find the track number.

Quote:
"Crazy" - several artists, from Patsy Cline to Aerosmith
"It's a Mistake" - Men at Work
"How Soon is Now" - The Smiths (covered by Love Spit Love among others)
"Somewhere Out There" - from "An American Tail", sung by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram
"And She Was" - Talking Heads
"Nowhere Man" - Beatles
"Pick a little talk a little" - from "The Music Man", written by Meredith Wilson
"Love is All Around" - Trogs, REM, others
"Don't Worry Be Happy" - Bobby McFerrin of course
"Violently Happy" - Bjork


Taking the Aerosmith route for the first one, we've got track 11. (From Get a Grip)
Men at work - It's a Mistake - Track 6 from Cargo
The Smiths - How Soon Is Now - Track 5 from Hatful of Hollow
An American Tail - Somewhere Out There - Track 9 from the OST
Talking Heads - And She Was - Track 1 from Little Creatures
The Beatles - Nowhere Man - Track 4 from the U.K. release of Rubber Soul
Music Man - Pick a Little Talk a Little - Depending on which version, it's either track 11, track 8 or track 9
Love Is All Around - I couldn't find a track listing for this at all
Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy - Track 1 from Simple Pleasures
Björk - Violently Happy - Track 10 from Debut.

That's all I've got.

I went with the Troggs version being that they were the first.

Appears on the Wild Thing album and is track number 2
