I just had a talk with Tyler too on my Yahoo account. At first it didn't occur to me that it might be ARG related, I've never been brought into a game in the first round of messaging (whoo!). Nothing too new though, and I also got scan0004.

[16:35] degravedi: Hi?
[16:38] signalantenna: Hello
[16:38] degravedi: May I help you?
[16:38] signalantenna: Yes, my name is Tyler Denning
[16:39] degravedi: Oh. Well, hi Tyler.
[16:39] signalantenna: I got your Screenname from a Respondent of mine. he gave me your name along with 149 others. Because he believes you may be able to help us decode a puzzle
[16:39] signalantenna: code... thing...
[16:40] degravedi: Ah, I see. Well that certainly is a hobby of mine. I'd love to help if I can!
[16:41] signalantenna: okay... give me a moment to email you the file. but first: i need some information on you: education, Name, and age(ballpark if you want)
[16:41] degravedi: Current university student, Devasa, 24
[16:42] signalantenna: okay... perfect...
[16:42] degravedi: and my email's degravediSPLAThotmail.com
[16:44] signalantenna: sent
[16:45] degravedi: And received!
[16:46] degravedi: Definitely my sort of interest. So may I ask where this code came from?
[16:46] signalantenna: it was found in a journal 3 miles outside of Oxford, Ohio
[16:48] degravedi: And so who are you? Just someone with a good sense of curiousity?
[16:49] signalantenna: I work for a company called TSFOSB
[16:50] degravedi: And your/their interest in this code? It could just be some kid trying to hide their secrets from their mom. Wink
[16:51] signalantenna: If I could tell you more about this journal. I would...
[16:51] degravedi: Ah, alright then. I'll take a look at it and try to get back to you as soon as I can.

I don't think the one word in the last scan is 'alone' - I think it is 'close'

yes, my version: "we are to so to late please dont let them know. I know why vice is not so close. why must they steal this world."

so the company is TSFOSB.
google it?

agreed if, of course you overlook typos like the first instance of the word "know", it translated literally, would be "knom" and "this" would be "tiis"..

I just figure these were done quickly and overlooked.

I jussee ay W or M as either a W or M, and same with the H and I Smile
I actually think it's a little more confusing having the letters the same, side by side. seeing IH representing HI would be more obvious than II or HH representing HI... IMO =)

The first date is Dec. 7th 1941. The attack on Pearl Harbor.
The second is Sept. 11th 2001. The attack on the World Trade Centers.
So I take it that on Nov. 31st this year, something is supposed to be attacked (possibly by plane since the other two were as well).

{Note to the PM: be very careful on how threatening/real you make an imminent attack sound...}

No such thing as Nov 31st...

3-8-9 could be CHI

That image right above 7.12.41 I've seen before...

My friend had one enclosed in a glass globe. When placed in sunlight, it spun round and round. I can't remember the name.

This is probably just a coincidence, but I wanted to note that on the above wiki page is a reference to James Clerk Maxwell, who has a connection to the LOST universe: http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Maxwell_Group
