 		Pale_Jewel on Twitter linked to an interesting article I think you guys should see. If I'm not mistaken, this is the scene we saw in the latest video.

I'm not too certain that photo was taken from Grand Ferry Park as Oli shows here. I also found another photo taken from Grand Ferry Park that shows the same angle of Williamsburg Bridge.

darkestpuzzle.com update
The main site updated with two new pages.
The Arabic text reads 'war in Iraq'.

Anyone have any progress/ideas about the puzzle on the second floppy disk?

If you are referring to the disk I received, then yes, I have a yet to be confirmed possibility.

Thanks for the clarification. Like I said, I'm not familiar with the city...and I was on my phone when I posted that. /excuses

Why do you think this anagram is interesting?
Thoughts on the picture with this puzzle? It looks like the bottom of an ipod.

 		I think that's the bottom quarter of the puzzle piece (the center of the plane, which was missing in one of the videos BTW). The first impression I got after seeing the image was that we have yet to find the other 3 in order to be able to form something readable.

Just a wild guess.

 		@darkestpuzzle tweeted earlier today:

Taking the second link as a subtle hint that there might be something hidden in the source code, I had a look through the recent posts on thedarkestpuzzle.com.

Hidden in the source of this page:

http://www.thedarkestpuzzle.com/demo44/?p=388

is the following link:

http://www.imagehosting.com/photo/photo/slideshow?feed_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.imagehosting.com%2Fphoto%2Fphoto%2FslideshowFeedForContributor%3FscreenName%3D03jvhf1cb7ynj%26mtime%3D1315212905

This gives three pages of IRC logs, including a URL on the second page. I haven't yet managed to get that URL to work though.

EDIT: copied the URL correctly this time. Freaky picture:

epi x's zip disk
epi x posted some photo's earlier.

I believe the one with the car is Syria, as the banners with the faces appear to be Bashar al-Assad's father, Hafez al-Assad. I don't know about the other two pictures, although they could easily be Syria as well.
It is not typical of men to wear a keffiyeh (the scarfy hats) in Syria, so there is likely some sort of conference or special event.
Moreover, this fits with "litle syria" which was our first clue.

The puzzle piece/ butterfly are both tagged with "application/vcd.abode.photoshop" and then later changed to a jpeg. Anyone know what that means?

 		Just spotted another link hidden in the source code of this page:

http://www.thedarkestpuzzle.com/demo44/?p=367

The link is:

http://s1110.photobucket.com/albums/h445/simon215/?action=view&current=Scan81.jpg

There are four images, including three scans of emails that include the names of several "players" of the original darkest puzzle game. People for us to track down perhaps?
