NewsI Am Blind
We got a weird call late last week that, at first, I couldn't figure out. After asking the staff to help decipher, they discovered that the breathy, computer-generated voice was telling us us that we were "alone in the darkness" and instructing us to send our mailing address to 1003@iamblind.org.
Moments ago, we sent our snail mail addy to that email, so we'll see what happens. While you wait, why not head over to iamblind.org and mouse over the center image, where multiple voices seem to be filling in the blank in the statement, "The last thing I want to see is _____."
Aha, a quick update! That email we sent just a few minutes ago bounced back. We tried with two other addresses, fearing that Gmail was the problem, but alas, even an email from my ISP-hosted address came back with an error. Guess we won't be getting a Christmas card from the I Am Blind folks. Aw, shucks.

Maybe this is like a preview, of an upcomming ARG.
I think this would be pretty cool game.

I did a search on iamblind.org and got this result:
http://www.godtube.com/uvideos.php?UID=501509&type=public
Seems odd but the one thing that struck me was that videos were posted today, all with the iamblind.org URL under the video.

I sent the email this morning, and it hasn't bounced back :)

This looks to be an ARG for the new movie Blindness. Exciting! The trailer looks wonderful, so if they can pull of a good ARG alongside it, it will really take the cake!

Have you guys checked out Voices in the Static yet?

I sent the email also, no bounceback. Also, made an account on godtube and sent a friend request to CameronBrian. Is there an official site for this yet (forums and such)?
