 		You can send an email to the site. Myself and some other have sent emails. Have any of you got anything back yet?

^ Seconded.

Also, notice how the date on this picture is actually tomorrow:

(for those who don't know, follow any link on the home page and you see this image briefly before the page closes)


As has been speculated here, (and this may be grasping at straws) there is a Butterfly Glacier in Washington state.

So...after checking out the Lethbridge website, I found that the first post said to lean in closer to the screen. I did the opposite. When I did, I noticed some coding behind the Lethbridge logo. It seems to only be there when you visit this page: Hello World!

Specifically, the code only appears on this image.

What an awesome find. Nice job. Smile Looks like possibly a QR code?

So, I sent an email via the website's Contact form stating that I was interested in purchasing a piece of equipment, but was put off by the "rogue AI" business, and what would that mean for the company?

Has anyone investigated whether the address they posted is real or not?
Here it is:
Suite #343, 880 Heritage Blvd. West
Lethbridge, AB, T1K 7V5, Canada

ETA: I'll see about going through the HBO post and summarizing the info they've collected there.

Am I totally blind or am I missing something?

I looks like a little strip mall is there. Bing and Google Streetview don't show much. There is a bank, salon and Bar and Grill. Anyone here in the neighborhood?

 		All these things coming from community sites makes me think there's either a very large grassroots viral theme running, or MS got community sites on board to take part in another aspect of the viral marketing...
still don't think it's an arg, just revelation of numbers/letters that will become something in the end. Whether official or not... Confused

 		Indeed! And I'm not saying it's not cool, neat, fun, well done, or worth following intently... just not an ARG Wink

 		Getting fever dream flashbacks to Hex 168 seeing that symbol in places.

That said, I'm totally in for whatever this is!

 		The chat group looked at that yesterday. Can't get anything from it. We thought it would be a QR code but couldn't get it to work. Halo Waypoints weekly update is set to go up today. I think thats where our next clue or puzzle peace will come from.

 		New newsletter is up, with new puzzle "Recover Garbled Bits" linking to a BMP that actually looks like a PNG from the header. Looks like maybe encoded by the RGB channels?
