Another "Dark Tower" fake website

I found a name in the code of the couple.jpg image that's on the "The Drink" page. The name is

Interesting. Doesn't ring a bell to me. But I know people who might. Have to get back on that...

BTW, the discussion thread at dt.net: nozzala

I did a google search on the name and got quite a few hits. He seems to be a photographer of some renown. By the way, I'm not really familiar with any of this Dark Tower stuff. Could you give me a litte bit of background on sombra and northcentralpositronics? And, do Dark Tower fans make these "fake" websites often or something?

Sombra Corporation and North Central Positronics are companies responsible for making technology involved with the machines seen in Stephen King's "The Dark Tower". Fake companies of course, that King made up.

A fan or fans saw the books as an opportunity to make an DT-based-ARG and created http://www.sombracorp.com/

It was an ARG that was discussed at www.darktower.net and here as well apparently. But I wasn't even around to see this discussed and take place. It was played and solved before I even joined dt.net

If there's a thread here discussing this ARG I'm sure a search will shed some light.

And no, unfortunately, DT fans to my knowledge do not make DT fake websites alot. Too bad I guess. I was hoping someone would make an ARG more elaborate than the sombra corp thing.

The first thing wasn't really an ARG; more of a diversion. There's more discussion in this thread:
