 		Not sure where to put this, but ive got a theory, sorry if its wrong, or common knowlege.

The "Sex with things other than humans" part comes right before the margarita scene. I think "Sally" is a cyborg/worker . Notice how lightly she sips her drink, as opposed to how the guy chugs his drink.

"he doesnt know...does he?"

And the whole m-rotor thing could be sex, which explains why Voltaire was "activated" at 13, and why certain jobs are gender specific

TIMM forced me to lurk here, and now join, hi everyone!

Anyway, on topic.

I was thinking along similar lines, in the video joey mentions that some cyborgs are "kinder" than others, which got me thinking about the whole "sex with things other than human" bit.

Not sure how it fits into the bigger picture though.

 		on a whim i figured id try and communicate with MM using one of the ciphers already discovered. the code and message are as fallows.

Code:

<?php
        $pad = "3 6 9 15 27 3 84 2010 7 124 7 T A U Q + I ! NO NO 3 D NO? NO M";
        $plain = "have cracked one of your codes, if i can, so can BS, instructon how to crack entry 6 to avoid detecion from BS";

        $pad_array = split(' ', $pad);

        for ($index = 0; $index <strlen>

Where's the rest of the PHP?

 		Weird Febrizzio Reference
I know this probably doesn't mean anything at all... but I searched 'FeBrizzio' in Google just to see if any sites were up (I did so with 'Blackstar' but found nothing). I actually saw this site (a snapshot on my flickr acct):
http://www.flickr.com/photos/34500413@N02/3213205679/

Under Housing Finder it shows the description for the job postings. Unfortunately, I searched the site and couldn't find any other information... but it was a Decatur reference with the TIMM feeling (if nothing else for that summary). But why would that site have that description if there was absolutely nothing on the site? Would anyone else want to take a look at the site to see if they could find anything?

Again, I didn't find anything, and it was probably just some glitch in Google, but I thought I'd post just to post it.[/img]

guessing this goes back to the job postings on craigslist. they were posted on all of the "active cities" craigslist sites. probably just a random listing copied from there and now defunct (looks like this was the Decatur listing).

nice detective work, though! keep up the good work, young professional!

 		Something I just noticed on the postcards handed out at the meetup. The word OPPORTUNITY is clearly different from all of the others on the card and emphasized. May just be for effect, but worth keeping in mind.

Also, has anyone posed the possibility that M-Rotors need reseeders? Not Re-Seaters. Very Happy

If you include the omitted results on google, you get a Jobs Finder in addition to the Housing Finder. The cached page of the jobs finder has text old enough -- definitely looks like the craigslist postings.

 		How To Run an ARG?
A while back in December, Flipdagger, SLUSHO_ZOOM! posted some links to HowCast, which noted the use of the "Basketball Player/Joey" character and the fact that the director is Thomas Bender.

Bender seems to really like making use of Seena Jon in his videos ( http://www.seenajon.com/SeenaJon.com/Home.html )

I was talking with an actor friend about TIMM today (trying to get him to infiltrate Synydyne through the NY acting scene), and he suggested that maybe there IS no promotional tie-in. Instead they may be running this as a "see-what-we-can-do" marketing for their production studio. He even went as far as to suggest that they had cameras on those of us who participated in the Saturday meetup.

It's plausible.

For those of you who missed the links buried in the TrailHead, here are the links and a few more that I added.

http://www.howcast.com/videos/88587-How-To-Smart-Mob

http://www.howcast.com/videos/631-How-To-Choose-a-College

http://www.howcast.com/videos/476-How-To-Wake-Up-Early-When-You-Absolutely-Have-To (the voice in the beginning sounds like it could be the same voice as "I will not sit down" in the Teens section of the TIMM video)

http://www.howcast.com/videos/2278-How-To-Write-a-Resume (includes a reference to Hoopeston)

There are several more here: http://www.howcast.com/users/bender/profile/videos/2

I've been thinking about this a lot. Particularly after the Synydyne website changed to mainly TIMM related images. I don't recall it being entirely TIMM related pre-BONUS? on the counter.

I'm pretty sure the images have been there since TIMM came about. Though I did just notice that Seena Jon is employed at Synadyne in Operations

 		The TIMM-related images popped up when they updated their site (adding clips of their Werewolf video, etc).

That was in... late December?
