blog Google his favorite number?

[fizzcharlson]

Salutations danman_d I was seriously hoping you would lend your expertise to this. I have, like you, searched every blog under the sun for jhendler. I have searched for all the related words and topics, orbitas, solar flares, on and on but to no avail. I have emailed a possible solution to 'favourite number' but have yet to receive a reply and have checked youtube and all the usual candidates for any related videos. I'm beginning to think that this may have an element of the 'Lost' theory about it, someone dangling a carrot with no gameplan, simply reacting to whatever theory or action the participant throws at you.
Maybe I'm wrong but this feels shockingly random.

Search... for blog... making... me insane...

Okay, I've been trying words that look significant from the O list. I know Orbitas is one, but there are a few that have to do with "beginnings," etc. Still, nothing.

Favorite number

I'd go with the astronomical unit instead of the atomic weight of gold. Just seems more logical.

So if the number is a distance, do we need the one in kilometres or miles?

Next question is, how "rounded" do we have to go? Just no decimals, or simply 150 million (or 93 million in miles)?

James Hendler uses a blog at Mindswap, http://www.mindswap.org/blog/author/hendler/, but it's also about the academic stuff and not really a personal blog. But it does seem to be the only blog of him you can find.

I saw that blog, too, but it looks like the blog of the real-life professor, and I thought we had decided his name was just a coincidence?

Still, it's nearly the only thing I can find with that name. The only other thing I turned up was what looked like a blog of a Jewish woman(?) who blogs under jhendler. http://tikvatisrael.org/

Nothing seems relevant yet...

Is it possible that 'look at terms nil' is 'look latin terms' i.e. the Notre Dame Latin Dictionary entry for the letter O? I too am convinced this is an anagram and have run it through several anagram generators looking for results in both English and Latin and nothing seemingly relevant emerges.

Whoever J Hendler is he/she does not teach at Notre Dame and as far as I can see no single Professor lectures on both Romance Language and Physics. I don't think this is James Hendler, it would be odd to create a game around your actual persona though I'm beginning to wonder if we were deliberately led to James Hendler for a reason.
I shall check back through the 'O' list for clues.

Have we determined why the cryptic email was signed "-a"? A for anagram? A for someone's name? -A for negative A (whatever that might mean)?

Interesting... then perhaps "-a" is Asher?

Something I noticed this morning: sometimes when you try to go to the black page at www.nomoreparents.com, you're redirected to that blog page instead! So if it's not some quirky internet malfunction, I'd say they're definitely connected.

A Latin anagram of "look at terms nil" is "timent solor kal". Timent is fear. Solor is sun. Another anagram could be" timor solent kal", which actually means the same. Fear and sun. With "timor" you can also make "morti" which is death. But all of this still leaves "kal", which has no Latin meaning whatsoever.

Hey whats up guys? Im pretty new at this ARG thing, but I did work on thisisnotporn.com a while back. I was just thinking, theres a lot of different numbers involved with gold (atomic number, melting point, density). Are we positive that its the weight we need to be looking at? Just a thought...

*EDIT*

Just realized we may not be looking in terms of gold anymore. Sorry about that.
