I’d be remiss if I didn’t say that I’ve been slowly solving all the puzzles from round one/box 1 of the vanishingpoint game. I have to admit that I couldn’t think clearly while I was traveling and got behind. The ice and sleet here gave me a few hours to concentrate, so I finally got through the first 12 puzzles. There’s a LOT of money being spent on this one. Both on PR and on prizes. I’ve received a puzzle box and various notes from Loki (like so many others). There was even one in the bottom of the box that the Velocity Micro Vista computer was packed in.

What does it all mean? Some lucky person will have the thrill of a lifetime flying to the edge of space. That’s the grand prize. Yes, I’d love to win. But the chances are, well, less than striking it rich in Las Vegas. The big difference is that I don’t gamble and didn’t throw money away while in CES, but I am playing the “game”. The water fountain spectacle is now online at www.vanishingpointgame.com so if you have somehow missed it, go take a look.

Pretty impressive.

All the geeks are playing the game. Somehow I hope that a normal non nerd wins this one. Meanwhile, I’ll continue to play the game and hope for the best.
