 		[hint?] on Mysdirection
I know 'hint' isn't a standard tag...
I caught this blog entry on Mysdirection, and it conjured up some nostalgaic feelings...

http://mysdirection.com/post/1383905

might be nothing, but hey, you post something mysterious, you're asking for analysis and spec... Razz
But I'm betting it's nothing special. It's a nicely designed pic though, whoever made it

 		and there was a post that was caught in my feed reader, but doesn't seem to be there any more (I believe it would here) that simply had the title and content:

 		What exactly is that page? The Mysdirection I mean. Is it just a random posting spot?

Anyway, yesterday there was just an ordinary link to a news artical, except that it happened to be about bees: http://mysdirection.com/post/1449466

 		Mysdirection is Steve's blog (of sorts).
Steve used to be one of us. Then he was nabbed by 42Entertainment (for Last Call Poker) and became one of them.
So he can't comment.
But he gets paid to be creative. And got a great seat for the Rose Bowl Parade (apparently the Pasadena office for 42 overlooks the parade route).

Go Steve! (*cough* vpisteve if you didn't know his uF identity).

Base64 for "image/jpeg." A failed post attempt, perhaps?

At ARGFest I referred to Steve as "our Steve" in a conversation with Elan Lee, and Elan said "no, our Steve." Heh, but he was ours first. Wink

Ah, that makes sense then...

And re: steve - I didn't want to draw attention to him right away by posting his name, though it's easily attainable. But me hopes this little mystery of his isn't just a little mystery... Cool

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioshock

Recognized it immediately. It's a video game about a perfect society turned dystopia, created by philosophers, artists, and scientists, hidden under the sea from any formal government only to be destroyed by unrestrained scientific advancement. Eagerly awaiting the game myself.

The hexagon indicated by the other picture is quite a suspicious match and I can think of little reason for such blocks to suddenly start appearing. Bioshock ARG maybe? A fallen utopia which has chosen to hide itself from the rest of society sounds like a good starting point for sure. My fingers are crossed.

Yes, but is it coincidence that it features honey-comb shapes?
