So I was really trying to play with the contrast and sharpness of the logo in the upper right of the paperwork, but to no avail. It looks to me like a picture of the capitol building and "2004" at the bottom, but the 4 is hard to be sure of. The logo on the right clearly says "Office of Internal Security." But is this a government outfit? What does that seal in the upper right corner say in the top? I can't read it.

Anyway, the numbers at the bottom of the pages with audio have numbers that seem to be GPS coordinates (from where it was taken, I assume). I don't have time to play with all of them now, but here's a site for looking them up: http://boulter.com/gps/. This was probably self evident, but I wanted to post it in case people weren't familiar with the format. It's in degrees,minutes,seconds.000. 2 coordinates for N-S and E-W. Alright, later all.

One last thing. 7950 Westpark Dr, Mclean, VA doesn't exist. But the address exists next door on Jones Branch Dr., which seems to house Gannett Company, the largest newspaper company in the country, which also owns 23 tv stations, amongst other media outlets. Do they have something to do with this ARG? I can't find the company connection, but also, if you googlemap the address, the layout of the industrial park is creepy looking from above. All tri-pointed buildings. Weird.

Ran through the coordinates from The Sixth File (51,30,44.42(n)-00,12,16.28(e)) and it came up to somewhere in Algeria, Africa.

And On the Seventh File (38,53,23.82(n)-77,04,57.85(w)) Somewhere in Quebec. Neither came up around any major cities.

Not really sure this helped at all, And I'm not to ARG's, but If I find anything else, I'll post.

Galleries

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

So after listening to this, I was put in a mind to look over some new gallery purchases- I wasn't able to find any with a link to collage art. Anyone else have more luck?

Re: Interaction?

**UPDATE**
"jpike2107" replied to my question on youtube stating that he doesn't have caller ID on his home phone. I think he's part of it.

It looks like the guy who posted the answering machine message on youtube is replying to comments. He's acting like he doesn't know what's going on - and sometimes it seems like maybe he doesn't. I guess it's impossible that they would have dropped this on someone outside of the project, since there's no way of knowing what they would do with it.

So I asked him if he got the caller ID when the message was left. If he replies I'll post what he says.

That's odd, the site I checked gave me a house near London which works perfectly and somewhere in the northeast of China.

Check out his profile on Youtube. "During the week I work in DC at the Dept. of the Interior. On the weekends I go to clubs and drink. Sometimes I do a little DJin." Department of the Interior? That's where this Osprey thing has sprouted from according to the documents. Also, the company "Dol" as a Google search brings up "US Department of Labor." "DJin" probably refers to Djinn Productions, which is the entertainment group responsible for this ARG.

Convenient that he's also subscribed to SHARDSvideo, which is in turn subscribed to dvdvlly, the Youtube channel for Overwork documents --- David Valley's channel. David Valley, from Djinn, is the storyteller behind this, same guy behind Autumn Story.

TCJ.com
A webcomic site?

Sorry for double-posting, but this is a different subject. Did anyone else notice this?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

As most of you probably know if you read the first spoiler, viewing the source code for http://www.tradecraftjournal.com reveals a site. Well, when inputting that site without the "http://www," I got an error page unlike the Multiple Choice page, and the favicon icon for the address changed from a generic icon to one with red TCJ letters. The server is also from TCJ.com, according to the page. Well, when visiting http://www.tcj.com, you get a webcomic site: "The Comic Journal." Coincidence? Was the source code for the tradecraft site just a typo?
