 		[INTERACTION] The Fax
Faxes recieved! Big image! New feeling!
I recieved my fax and have uploaded it for your enjoyment.

Perhaps we are supposed to cut these out and make Dark Dollars? Very Happy

(Note: don't look for steganography in this. I didn't embed anything. Razz)

Edit: Linked to ginormous image rather than embedded - Addlepated.

 		It's a map. X marks the spot. Perhaps to the next drop?

 		Address for the fax# is:

FedEx Office
70 Spring St
New York, NY 10012
(212) 226-3784

Which is right near Mulberry St. which seems to be where the Chuck eating Cannelloni pic was shot. So real locations we have so far are:

Library
Haircut salon in ChinaTown from 2nd video
Little Italy location from Jagoda pic (location TBD)
FedEx Office

Possible that some/all of these locations correspond to the fax map?

 		The X appears just to be a Dark dollar shape, like the other shapes. I don't think it's a map...

 		http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode#Symbologies

From my good friend Smoking_Gun:

Quote:
There is a large variety of 2D symbologies. The most common are matrix codes, which feature square or dot-shaped modules arranged on a grid pattern. 2-D symbologies also come in a variety of other visual formats. Aside from circular patterns, there are several 2-D symbologies which employ steganography by hiding an array of different-sized or -shaped modules within a user-specified image (for example, DataGlyphs).


Kinda fits, huh?

I could be wrong, and I probably am. In my fax copy, which looks a little different than the posted pic (resolution-wise), the area around the X looks like it's made of tiny ASCII. Hard to tell, because it's all jumbled together. If not, it's the weirdest texture...

Look at the patterning surrounding the 'X', it looks a bit like the barcode on a UPS box...

 		Remember, faxes are ususally low-quality. I think that that's supposed to be grey.

if it were plain grey, that would fax. it would be spotty, but it wouldn't have an irregular pattern AFAIK.

Up close, the X actually more resembles wood grain - or the fabric of a map. Could just be they cut/copied a picture of a map's X and stuck it on there.

 		No fax for me, so far. And this after my email never got added into the list, so I didn't receive the mass correspondence! What the hell, Milwaukee.

It sounds like we may want to do some fax testing ourselves, just to see what can and can't transmit looking like woodgrain/barcode. Unless that was an ancient fax machine, though, it should have been able to portray woodgrain as something that looks more like woodgrain, and less like blocky barcode or some kind of glyph.
