I should say that the three images are different resolutions. I tried just stacking them but saw nothing, then tried stretchign them, and you see the result. Open to suggestions tho.

I tried the old school blue/red lens ones, the RealD ones and the IMAX ones and nothing.

Good. Now I can stop my debate on whether or not to drag my ass out of bed to go hunt down my glasses. LOL!

 		I also tried 3D glasses.
I kinda looked like it wanted to be in 3D but just wasn't quite there (using the blue/red ones).

 		Go back to the first sketch (http://www.hydeckerdesigns.com/blueprint.htm). The text says "notice the lines in this sketch" zoom in, is there some form of code there?

No, won't work unless it were the blue and red, or if the encoding were there and you had the right kind of monitor.

 		Looks like the Jordan pic has three similar images stacked up. you can kinda tell this by looking at Sam's leg. i don't know how this filter stuff works but can you filter by color? In the text for the pic Flynn mentions Blue then Green then Hazel. Don't know if that means anything or not

The flower looks like it should go with the sailer since it has that hard line across the top, but so far it's been fruitless when trying to line it up with the image.

 		OK *phew*!

Summary update again:
----
Puzzle on flynnlives.com post picture leads to: http://www.arcadeaid.com/bonuslevel

/ + BONE + S + LEVEL = bonuslevel
----
9 PDF files include one game puzzle from arcade and a circle that leads to another game puzzle.
LIST of circled games:
1. 50 Cent Bulletproof (8Cool
2. Home Run (4)
3. Pool Shark (131)
4. Operation Wolf (64)
5. Prey (144)
6. ChuChu Rocket! (84)
7. 720 (5)
8. Tiger Heli (25)
9. Excitebike (108)

This produces POPTECH75, leading to http://poptech75.com
----
Poptech75 displays a page from the book The Digital Frontier (see below)

At the bottom is a link to the publisher's website, http://flynnfrontier.com
----
Flynn Frontier contains a lot of Flynn backstory, including information about three of his books:
* The Digital Frontier: Mapping the Other Universe
* Structure and Dynamics in Advanced Computer Programming: Existence in the Digital Realm
* Digital Gaming: Programming Tomorrow's Arcade Classics

The Excerpts page provides copies of the three books' jackets, which viewable excerpts. Each excerpt page (except the last) has regions that when moused over, produce an audio clip from Kevin Flynn himself.

The jackets are each labeled with a product code, which are in fact UPC-A barcodes that decode to three unique numbers:

* 139378391318
* 675469546194
* 428231880763

The grid patterns on the front and back of Digital Gaming also decode as binary:
Front:
011 101 110 011 100 011 101 011 010 101 101 110
Back:
010 111 011 001 100 011 111 010 010 001 011 101

* 356343532556
* 273143722135

Returning to http://helloflynn.com these numbers can be entered to retrieve new files.

This will require some engineering.

jordan.beauty: Notes: Jordan's eyes are a unique hue that doesn't exist anywhere else in the world - that's because they change with every situation. There's the wistful blue that flashes whenever sheholds a newborn baby. Then, there's the vibrant green that erupts when I track motor oil into the house <a mistake I won't soon make again>. And, most importantly, there's a the placid hazel that clouds her irises when she's about to kiss me...

I keep referring to her in the present tense. I need to stop doing that.

But, her eyes were more than just aesthetically beautiful - they weree piercing, brilliant portals into her genius. Those eyes envisioned worlds beyond our own. The architectural work she did for Hydecker Designs inspired me to re-imagine the grid. Maybe someday, our structures will coil together like helixes izn[sic] a digital chromosome.

File 356343532556 (jordan.beauty) contains a reference to "Hydecker Designs"... which leads of course to http://hydeckerdesigns.com

On the Message from the Archivist page is a link to Lodgemont Superstructure building sketch http://www.hydeckerdesigns.com/blueprint.htm
At the bottom of the sketch is a reclamation proposal # 329363554862

At HelloFlynn.com, this opens another file...

lodgemont.interior: Notes: Construction is a tricky devil. Every wall must be aptly fortified to ensure the safety of all tenants within - otherwise, they would all be crushed. The construction of a circuit board is similarly exacting. Date storage relies on the stability of an elaborate digital interface, characterized by the sharp, interconnected curves of many fragile metallic fibers. If there's one imperfection in the design, all of this vital information <safety> could get crushed, just like those unlucky tenants.

The finer things in life have all been accessible to me: good food, nice clothes, expensive living quarters. It is possible to envelope yourself with luxury and cut yourself off from the real world, if you choose to do so. Designing my own prison from state-of-the-art concepts and sound architectural theory... sounds crazy, but I wouldn't put it past me.

memory.capture: Notes: I digitized these videos to preserve my memories forever, but now I regret that decision. To see my son and late wife trapped in this pixilated hell - it kills me.

If you bring it into photoshop, there's a way to separate the red, blue, and green layers. Idk if that helps?

 		Solar Sailor & Sketch #1 definitely look very similar. Can someone overlay them?
