 		Looking at the titles of the images on the blogger page they all have "tumblr" in them.


Perhaps this? Seems to have been abandoned July last year... but... well, just read it.

Edit: borked the coding thingies

 		I'm willing to wait and see if it's Slendy related. Hi amandel!

Hi ieisuk. This time their JPEG info is easily seen when opening those pics in Notebook or Wordpad. Beaut work on that QR code btw.


I'll admit, I'm normally just here for MH and EMH, but I saw someone get the twitter and talk about Morse, looked at it and just saw the pattern, I just had to line them up in GIMP, and base 64 just seems common enough to give it a shot. Got to the blog and completely got lost Razz

While it's possible, that blog mentioned North Carolina, this one goes on about Michigan.

 		New image up.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I just wish I knew what the hell I was doing this far out from, well, every damn thing. I'm going to do a little work while I wait for everyone to clear out. I mean, it's a 24-hour store, so I'm not expecting perfect solitude, but I can at least hope for some quiet. In the meantime, I'm going to see if I can access anything from before this morning on either of these two devices I seem to be carrying.

Here's hoping I find something, anything at all.

 		This may be a shot in the dark, though May 19th the countdown will reach 0, so a quick wiki search lead to Polly WALKER being born, who appeared in a show called Waking the Dead..... Seriously, I have that until we get more info.

EDIT: The names of the episodes were Deus Ex Machina Part1 and 2 btw if that means anything.

Day Two (Sunday, February 26, 2012)

What can I say that I haven't said before? I'm still around. Southeast Michigan (that's where the GPS says I am) is a large place. Managed to walk from Wixom, where I was this morning, to somewhere in...Canton, looks like. I feel like I've been here before, but I can't place why. But then, the entirety of the past two days has felt like that.

Managed to lift a couple of cans of Red Bull from a CVS in...I think the town's name is Plymouth. Anyway, it was a few hours ago, and man, I am flying. Still. But then, I'm not surprised, they're chock full of absolutely nothing good for me.

Pretty good walk today. I don't even know why. Don't know where I'm going, either. I just sort of picked a direction and went that way. It's not even a conscious decision, it just seemed the best idea. Hell, I figure I want to put as much distance between myself and Kent Lake as I can. So I walk. Covered...I think seventeen miles today. Good shoot. I figure I walk about four miles per hour, given that it only took me a few hours to cover all this distance, and the rest of the day I've been resting. Spent some decent time at the Canton Library. I even decided to sit down at a church nearby. The Plymouth church of the Nazarene, whatever that means. It's really not for me, the whole "church" thing. I'm not exactly an atheist, not my bag, but I'm not a religious man either.

 		Anyone notice that there appears to be water in the bottom left corner of 47? Unfiltered. Could have swore those yellow marks were faces when I first looked the image this morning before work. Thank you for posting the message though, didn't have enough time to do that myself and as far as I know, I can't do that on an android phone.

 		Today revealed some more binary. Here it is decoded. Will spoiler if requested.

The First Day (Wednesday, February 22, 2012)....I was released early this morning. At least, that's what I thought would happen. But nothing is the same. I was sitting on the curb, but there shouldn't even be a curb. Hell, there shouldn't even be more than a few houses here. And yet here I am. I've done a little bit of research, and then walked away.....It turns out that Jackson is a little bit bigger of a town than I remember it being. Then again, when I went in last year (that being 2011 for those of you not paying attention) Michigan State Prison was operational. Somehow this morning I found myself standing outside a building that, the local library informs me, has been closed since 2007. I don't know what the hell that's supposed to mean, exactly, but what can you do? I just live here, so to speak.....Obviously I don't have anything here. Nobody to pick me up, no reason to stay. Maybe if I head towards home, or rather, what used to be home, I'll find some remnant of my life, find some reason to stick around this hellhole I used to call home. Until then, I'm walking from town to town, sleeping where I can find shelter, even though it's goddamn cold out here, and thanking whatever God might exist that I'm still alive.

 		Interesting.

I'm camped out in the woods behind a place called, appropriately enough, Hidden Woods. It's cold, and the trees aren't robust or anything, but they serve well enough, and I think I can make it through one night here without being picked up by cops.

Honestly, I'd really like to know how I know how to do all these amazing things, all these crazy things I've done. I've stolen things from stores (more than just the Red Bull), I've been hiding in the woods, and even in stores where I know they won't find me. I know how to look for and evade the police.

I just worry about what kind of man I was, and I'm going to do everything I can to unlock this damned device and figure out what, if anything, I've typed in here before, and where the hell it's going. I've got to have some way out of this hell, some way to find out who I am, and where I belong. Why I am the way I am would be nice too.

Until tomorrow. And I guess for now you can call me John Doe.

So.... he's updating in realtime now. This is very inconsistant. Btw, dinorobo, are any of these plays near by to you? I'm still convinced that the photos have more them than just ttext in the JIFF. The person has used too many codes to not have done some thing. If anyone here has contacts that deal with computer graphics, have them look at it. I know they were done in GIMP because of the JIFF, so we don't NEED photoshop. Anyone else got anything else to go on?

 		I did try TinEye-ing a few of the pictures, but no hits.
