On Nate's blog, he posted a crossword puzzle left by Dr. Gough. If you only look at the wrong answers in the puzzle, it says:

Hrm, the music on the site strikes me as odd. That high pitched almost...scraping sound, is completely out of place. I don't have the equipment or tools to analyze it, anyone wanna look into it?

I sent off an email with the solution as well,
It's probably sad my best discovery was that the music can be turned off ^^ but yea, there is something up with the scraping noise, it doesn't fit at all.
To add something relevant, i found these when googling holomove

They seem to be pretty serious about this recruiting/advertising bit.
He's got a youtube account too, seems to be pretty much just the vids on his blog but might be relevant in the future

Hey late to the party, but I also got a UPS next day with the letter, the crane and the packet.
Unfortunately, my scanner is non-functional atm, but it looks like you don't need my part of the memo anyways?
I'll scan it in later if need be.

They have craigslist postings for Holomove jobs from back in March. And Nathan has a bunch of different sites out there, so they are definitely trying to make this realistic.

I also got UPSed today with all the same stuff tucked inside. I can scan if need be, but the scanner is all the way over there -------> and I'm all the way over here <------ and it's just SOOOOO inconvenient to move
(I'll scan if necessary, but it doesn't sound super necessary?)

I edited my post abit, included the craigslist posts i could find, and they have one in the new york times, anyways, i haven't got a package, but i haven't been involved in ARGs lately either, so all's fair.

So excited to open the package and realize it's a trailhead.
Rush to uF and find it already has a thread (of course, duh).
So disappointed that my scan is virtually worthless (at least I waited instead of the requisite photos of the package contents).
However, I am still going to supply my version of the scan (cause someone might want to put this in a wiki someday) AND make a note of something interesting: the package was addressed to my REAL Name (not the one I use for ARGs). Hmmm......

This bit from Nathan's blog seems interesting...

More searching. I reply back with "Dr. Emmet Leith" and "lasers." This was pretty much the last puzzle I was going to solve. After that, I finally got the "send us your resume" and the next day I got a call. How's that for a pre-screener? Crazy, right? And I've been hearing about some developer challenge in the works so I bet these guys aren't done. They are trying to out Microsoft Microsoft and out Google Google.
It sounds like we're going to have some serious hoops to jump through before any of us can get our sweet Holomove jobs.
