DINA!!! Yay. So happy now. Go team!
Also, I think it's funny that, in my last post, re: "The glass is ???," I was going to add something like, "I would so expect Wongmo to have some kind of cliched yet meaningless phrase as the solution to the puzzle," but then didn't. Hee. Wongmo's fun.
[edit] Next part:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There's a comment in the Dina page that says "dreamflash," so that prompted me to try dream.swf
Also, I love how the image is called "theglassislove.jpg." Because Dina used to do that, with image names relating to the page, right? *sniff*

I am SO sorry I wrote some of that stuff, you guys...I never imagined it would come back to haunt me.

If you take the animation off loop and look at it one frame at a time, there's a set of six dots in the background that stay in the same place throughout the animation. No idea what to do with them, though.

Wow, there's an unhealthy amount of awesomeness in that flash. As long as you don't stare at it for too long. Epileptics beware? Hey, Caesar was epileptic, wasn't he? Heh. It's a Caesar-proof puzzle.
Re: dots, I've tried to find a frame where they line up nicely with a grid or the other objects, but I couldn't. Confused. Also, any idea what MU thingie this would be referencing? I suppose it doesn't necessarily have to be anything, but just wondering about it...the background changes remind me vaguely of the Garbage Collector's puzzle where he used different shades to mean yes, no, or unable to answer, but that's sort of a stretch. Eh, that line of thinking is probably sort of counterproductive anyway.

Wow... it's like watching a lava lamp...
*stares blankly and drools*
Or perhaps like staring at stars...
Is this a constellation? Anyone?

Anyone

The dots don't seem to be any sort of constellation I could find, unless they're missing stars on purpose. There's part of the loop where concentric circles appear over a point to the top and left of the dots; could that have some significance?

Well, this looks interesting. I guess I'll be following this for a while then. The puzzles right now are with the flash file, right? I'll try seeing if I can figure out how to do a decompile in Flash MX, since I have nothing else to do right now.

F1 key is generally mapped to bring up help topics. Hee!
Gah, I really hope we didn't miss something time-sensitive.

I'm not sure what puzzle/thread the mail was referring to so I dropped it here in the general chat.
Anybody else get this, or is it just in response to my begging yesterday morning?
