 		The anagrams seem slightly promising, but the bolded letters might just be part of the theme. Looks like our friend Prey got his layout from Anton Shevchuk. This url is in the source code: http://anton.shevchuk.name/web20/creative-design-in-15-minutes/.
It's a Russian website about web design. On it, the first letter of each paragraph is orange and bold, and it shows exactly how to build Prey's blog layout.
Maybe he knows Russian or there's an English version of that website somewhere? In one of the replies on that website, Anton Shevchuk posts that he was going to translate this to English, but got lazy--but that was in February.

Also: I looked at his uploads. The ones from July are pictures from that Mac store and Columbus Circle. The ones from June are pictures of some guy and a girl looking at a laptop. The girl seems to be an employee. Amusingly enough, the words "STEAK HOUSE" are cut off in those pics in a window so it says "STEAK HO". The folder from May is empty. http://prey-tell.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/

And...yeah, maybe I'm taking this wayyy too far, but I'm bored.

 		Nice catch on the pics Squish! Maybe we finally have a pic of Prey afterall. The first pic he posted in his bog of the computer screen did show a reflection of the person taking it, and he was wearing a dark hat with a logo on it, perhaps this yankee fan is our PM?

His facebook pic looks somewhat similar, too.
In the June pics, I'm not sure that they are in the mac store in NY. Google maps doesn't show any steak house that could be seen from a window, and I don't remember the store looking like that--but then I haven't been there for a while. I really do not know.

 		Hi guys! I have been following this one and I realised one thing.. I've been using Wordpress alot before, and I just made a wild guess..

I tried to go to http://prey-tell.com/wp-content/ and it was left blank.. so I kept going till http://prey-tell.com/wp-content/uploads/

From there, click yourself through.. there are some pictures there.. I'm not sure if they mean anything, but maybe. (2009 -> 06)

Cheers!

 		The Cow
Did anyone notice the Cow in front of the steak house in the picture?

Edit: This is The Old Homestead Steak House which can be seen from 401 W 14th Street, New York City, NY 10014 Apple Store.

 		He confused me a great deal with this, because I automatically read it to be about the year 1990:

Until I realised that is just his way of saying '90s. Keep this blog relevant for 2100? Or time-travelers? Laughing

Also wondering...did he chat up Daniella? He says that he "watched her buy" the pumps. Just doesn't sound like he talked to her at any point. How did he get her name, then? Phone hack?

oh, alright. I don't really know the area.

As for 1990s, in the 411 post, he says he's 24, which means he was born in 1985 (his facebook says his birthday is January 13th, 1985--so if he's making this stuff up, he's doing it neatly). He'd be thirteen in 1998. It all fits, rather annoyingly. I keep trying to catch this guy in some pathetic inaccuracy.

Someone must have been there to take those pics in the apple store. The girl doesn't seem to mind (or notice) that someone's taking a picture of them.

 		Typos
Couldn't they be a sentence (Write there or...)? Dumb thought but something maybe to keep an eye on.

No, not a dumb thought at all... these things can go any direction and all possibilities should at least be entertained and explored. Could even be the extra letters or letters that are missing could be making up a word or phrase as well...we'll need to wait for more info and see.

Mission and Hostel, maybe some other words, are randomly capitalized. Tadaa, they're important.

That, and the rest of the post suggest that he is either deformed or beautiful, and the pictures suggest neither. Or, assuming a fantasy-type setting, he's human in a world of non-humans. Really, this guy is starting to annoy me.

 		Stand in for the pictures?
Could it be possible that Prey, as a man that does not wish to have his identity uncovered, would use a stand in for the pictures? It would make sense, after all.

Along the lines of a hidden message, has anyone been able to piece anything together with the unusual capitalization and spelling/grammar errors? Just wondering.
