 		[NEW] /equinox/
It just popped into my head to see if there was a page called Equinox:
http://www.voicesinthestatic.com/equinox/ The image is egg.jpg and the page title is stirring.

(Split from trailhead thread. Also see spirit communications from here ~ drizjr)

** Changed title to reflect move to new forum. -- jamesi

 		Looking at what hatched
Wonder what it means....
No new e-mails, but it's still very early yet. Just cut and pasted the html code. Looks like we're being watched with the Google Analysizer!!

Odd there are no accompanying sound files with this. Maybe the spirits are otherwise occupied today?

Take Care, Kendra

 		Every time I look at this image with my allergic eyes I see something different. At one glance I'll see a face in the upper blue area, and at other times I think I see letters and numbers in the image. I'm not getting anything useful by manipulating it in photoshop. Hope you can do better amandel.

Good call about the craigslist message. I think it also goes back to the Thursday emails from echo that said 22 hatch.

 		coding error? clue?
I just reloaded http://www.voicesinthestatic.com/equinox to have a look at the source code again. It appears to be slightly different from what I remember seeing earlier and what Kendra_W posted earlier.

Check it out, it references the original static .gif for the background. However, that .gif must not be in the /equinox directory because I see a black background.

Perhaps we're a bit early? Would it change your perception is there was blue static around the egg?

Code:
<body alink="#000000" bgcolor="#000000" link="#00000" text="#FFFFFF" vlink="#00000" BACKGROUND="bluestat.gif">



UPDATE: I had to turn of HTML in this post to make it display Kendra likely ran into the same prob. I don't know if the source has changed from this morning, but the error (?) is still there.

 		The bluestat.gif was in the source code when I first found the equinox page. I figured they just layered the egg image over it.

Just FYI, many game sites use Google Analytics. That just tracks activity and hasn't had meaning for us as players in my experience. Also, if you want to mention something in the source code, it's easiest just to note what you see as we can all check it if we like.

Thanks for the clarification. There's no layering going on though. The way it is coded, the .gif would have to be here to display on this page, and it is not (yet?).

http://voicesinthestatic.com/equinox/bluestat.gif

Dunno why I brought this up other than the fact that everything has been spot on coding wise so far so this piqued my interest.

Here's what I think it was intended to look like. Brings a new meaning to "stare into us" I guess...

 		The Helix Nebula is the Hubble image inside the egg. It's often called "the eye of God."

 		Very cool! Nebulas are typically referred to as the birthplace of stars. Birth-egg...dunno if it means anything...

 		Not sure if this means anything, but Leo's brightest star, Regulus, is actually egg-shaped.

 		The Equinox Page has updated with a new image(fulleye.jpg) and an audio file(equinoxtransmission.mp3).

Something interesting in the Equinox source code:
Quote:
coming through in waves

the sun makes clearer

the sentence continues


The Hallway Page which now hyperlinks(eye shape) to the Equinox page has a source code update visible when mousing.
Quote:
"aligned, opened eye (door), eye saw you before"

My work time hinders playtime with this audio with Audacity atm but below is the file.
