 		Oops, I almost missed this one. I thought it is mainly about posting FastForwards. But now the puzzles seem highly interesting.

Just one question: What do we do with the answers we found? Is there any way how we can check if FACE is correct?

EDIT: nevermind. I figured it out. Since I think it is not mentioned, yet: Simply type the solution, e.g. "face" and submit it. It will automatically "find" the correct answer and the lock will disappear - showing what is beneath.

 		puzzle
part of face
Cool

Did you guys see an eye on the puzzle? When I clicked on doll face I got the rest of the eye in conjunction with city blue....it is definitely looking right back at the viewer...kind of creepy. You don't get it on the first try...you get the blocks with the pitched sound. Go back do it again you get the eye. Same thing with lake...more eye is revealed. I went back later didn't get the lake square as previously seen or the other part of the eye.

the eye and Oscar
Cool
That's what I saw..DocArtz has a new promo on his site from ABC.
http://www.tvovermind.com/flash-forward-tv-news/flashforward-sneak-preview-a-scene-from-no-more-good-days/8752


Oscar has a new video posted #6 on his blog. Topic is keywords being triggers in responses from mosaic. He's investigating the following keywords "thunder","canvas","bridge" "yellow", "sonogram"(out of order).Also geological vibrations are mentioned.

 		I worked on the DIVINE puzzle, but no success up to now. I will post some things I tried. Maybe this will help someone else to figure out what the solution is.

1) Using the numbers (57, 42, 29, 38, 66, 14) as coordinates setting the origin to all four corners --> Nothing
2) Trying to rot the results --> Nothing
3) Change the order of the numbers (14, 29, 38, 42, 57, 66) --> We get one number for each of the six lines!
4) Trying to take the 4th letter of 1st line, 9th letter of 2nd line, .... --> Nothing
5) Counting only small/big letters ---> nothing
6) shifting 1st line by 4 positions, 2nd by 9 position, .... --> nothing
7) deleting the 4th, 8th, 12th, ... letter on line 1 (counting in loops) until one letter remains, for line 2 counting 9, 18, 27, .... --> nothing

I think I tried many more things, but I never got a solution. But I am quite sure that the numbers should be read like:
line 1: 4
line 2: 9
line 3: 8
line 4: 2
line 5: 7
line 6: 6

 		words
mosaic
Cool
I tried the words in the images section of join the mosaic.Looks like they have strung some things together. Some are images they created,some are the videos and a few web inputs. Too many to catalog here..check it out. I will say there is one canvas image that is on the dark side.

Thanks AUZ505 for your efforts..good job.

I'm new at this sort of thing. I have a lot to learn, I see.

The Divine puzzle looks like a common ROT but we all know now it doesn't seem so. I ran it through a website days ago that scales from one through twenty five. No Joy. As others think, it must be an abstract answer like how the letters make a pattern or resolve down. What is interesting is how it seems it was constructed to appear like a ROT but is made carefully to be null. ALL letters of the alphabet have been used at least once.

Ignoring case, three letters were used once, eight letters were used twice, seven letters were used three times, five letters were used four times, two letters were used five times and one letter was used eight times. 3, 16, 21, 20, 10, 8. Ordering this in ascending sequence, you get: 3 8 10 16 20 21.

Although this might suggest a lotto number, placing the word "lotto" or "lottery" does
not unlock anything. Sigh.

 		UTAH color bar
Ever since we first saw this revealed, I remember highlighting these marks denoted in the page source as top, middle, bottom, middle, top, middle, bottom but remember that they were all gray in color. Now four of them appear as black. All I think I've done is to click randomly as if the squares were receptive to mouse clicks. Is this latest photo what everyone else is seeing currently or are all of your own versions still gray (or white) when highlighted?

I do not think that the page will react to mouseclicks, since it is normal HTML.
Nevertheless, mine are all black and have been black since the start.
No idea why you have different colors.

Thanks, I forgot that this was not flash and was just html, as in DIVINE puzzle. So it is a pattern they reveal, or a code made from the hex color numbers they represent.

I just read on a site about making html that they warn about not using colors that color blind people would have trouble with. Could there be anything to this trivia?

I've been using Firefox consistently. I just checked the page using IE and they are all black. It might be a Firefox artifact.

I wouldn't call it an artifact. I'd call it a feature. It looks to me like the grey blocks are on the darker squares, and the black squares are on the lighter squares.
If (as a browser developer) you put the same color square on every block, then there would be one shade where the block would be invisible.
I think the firefox developer said "if it's this shade or darker, use grey. if it's this shade or lighter, use black"

Edit: if you switch applications but keep firefox on the screen, the black boxes on firefox change to grey.

 		Although I do not think there is any connection with this ARG, it is curious trivia that the team that created the Firefox browser named it Firefox because that is an alternate name for (drum roll)...

the Red Panda. Cool

 		utah color bar
scale
Cool
I wonder if the blocks on the color bar are some kind of scale? Right to left it ascends..descends, then repeats as it ascends. Vice versa left to right.
I found this later today..
http://guitar.about.com/library/weekly/aa_major_scale_three_notes_string.htm
I"m not sure what tone to assign to each.

 		Going off on a tangent here (since there is little to do!)- Omniture looks to be genuine (mentioned in source code) but wikipedia article only started in 08. Strange!
