August 9 2006

Glyph 30 with the code “E2LL1Z5E” is found in the links section on Rachel Blake’s cover page to her hidden blog.

Glyph 31 with the code “5BE” is found on the Big Brother page on the UK Channel 4 site.

Glyph 32 with the code “R3PUX4” is found on a poster at the Jeffreys Street Wharf in Sydney, and posted on Lost Ninja’s blog.

Glyph 33 with the code “GLLV8B” is found through a glyph hunt administered by the guys at thelostexperienceclues.blogspot.com. This was the first time in the ARG that a glyph hunt was administered by out of game characters. However, because of a previous stunt that the guys pulled with the Save Joop site, many people were skeptical as to the validity to their claims of having a glyph. As a result, people on LOST sites all over the net were claiming “SHENANNIGANS!” until the hunt was finally cracked, and it was shown that they did in fact have a valid glyph. Yet another example that glyphs could now come from anywhere on or off the net.

Glyph 34 with the code “GMIWRLHHNHM” is found in the opening flash sequence on the Valenzetti Equation site.

Frag Code 35 (TRIBALWARS) is found in PEOPLE magazine on a Jeep advertisement.

Frag code 36 (CHOCOLATES) is found in a Sprite ad in Entertainment Weekly magazine.

DJ Dan broadcasts a live podcast in which gamers are able to call in with their questions. Among some of the things revealed in the podcast were:

Dan gives leads for two glyphs:

One to appear Monday August 14 in New York City (”la manzana grande”) in a “prominant touristy location that rhymes with ‘fresh air’” (likely Times Square)

One faxed to him which was left on his studio door and found on August 12 at Radio Harvest

Dan claims that both Lost and Bad Twin are non-fiction, portraying actual events and actions of the Hanso Foundation and related characters.

Dan believes that Enzo Valenzetti could still be alive (his favorite theory is that he was “caught under the wheels of his combine at his family farm in the Swiss Alps”)

Dan mentions that the Vik Institute has “verified a figure”, but that he doesn’t know what it is yet, presumably related to the Valenzetti Equation.

Dan denies being Peter Thompson, Speaker, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, or working for The Hanso Foundation. He makes a point of repetitively mocking “this guy” Javier.

Dan referred to the Karma Imperative as the band Keith Strutter was in before founding Geronimo Jackson.

This name (first mentioned in 7/10 podcast) is a malapropism of the DHARMA Initiative.

Dan doesn’t believe in nanotechnology, and specifically tells a caller that you will not see it on TV come September.

Speaker calls in, Dan jokes that he’d better not be the guy who runs the Javi Minions fan site; he later calls him Andy (which also happens to be the name of the guy who runs Javi Minions)

His announcer’s name is Johnny, and one of his roadies is named Louis.

DJ Dan was at Comic-Con

Dan seems fairly obsessed by donuts, and makes repetitive mention of them

A mysterious caller named Malek (the “fixer” from Rachel’s videos) called in with a message for Rachel Blake and said the following numbers:
240 249 68 61 37 118 75 233 231 150 36 184 157 51 144 180 253 50 173 30 222 192 13 82 1
Each of these numbers is a page from the book Bad Twin. Take the first letter of the first word from each page and you get: “I know where he is, I can set it up!”

August 12, 2006

As promised on DJ Dan’s live podcast, Glyph 37 with the code “4R19Y0UXB6Y” is posted on the front door of the Harvest Radio Station at 3002 Pennsylvania Avenue in Santa Monica, California.

August 14, 2006

Glyph 38 with the code “A0Y8” is broadcasted on the ABC Super Sign in Times Square.

August 15, 2006

August 16, 2006

Glyph 40 with the code “XWZW” is found in an UK Channel 4 commercial.

An interview between a user by the name of “Fox” and the Speaker in his ITE Profiles #1 post leads to the discovery of page one of a Lost Experience themed comic.
