Technically not 27, or is it?

A TV ad currently running on British telly for Oasis drink. The two girls sporting fetching outfits with the figures “2” and “7”. You can see the ad and play the games at http://www.rubberduckzilla.com

One out of the blue

Today, I switched on the TV and there driving towards me was a 1904 Darracq car featured in the 1953 British comedy Genevieve.

The car called Genevieve takes part in the London to Brighton run and boldy displays the number 27.

27project.org is awakened

The 27project.org website was awoken from its sleep a few days ago when a new #lostarg posted a link to the site. Twitter user @elliottgraves has devised an “unofficial” lostarg, a side plot to the TV series Lost.

We watch as the traffic grew and grew and decided that we’d have a little fun with some of the visitors and see the reaction.

Now the web is basically real-time, I was able to read tweets, see blog entries and read the comments and adjust my posts accordingly.

I posted a blank page that contained a tag in the html encoded in base64 that read “do not trust me. G.”

I set the page to refresh after 5 seconds, yet still people we finding the “hidden clues” and reporting back their findings.

Looking back on it now, I should have stuck some banner ads on there…

For the latest on the #simeonhobbes arg, search for that hash tag on Twitter or visit http://lostarg.wordpress.com where you’ll also find my confession.

A good thing or a bad thing?

When travelling I usually expect a few occurrences of 27 along the way.
When it comes to flying however, is it a good or a bad omen?
