http://wwwwwwwww.jodi.org If you load up wwwwwwwww.jodi.org, the page looks like a lot of nothing. Its a
bunch of letters, numbers, symbols, and the like, which comes together to
make nothing but one big link to another page (more on that later). But if you
view the source code (MSIE users, right click on the background and select
view source) the page takes on a much more interesting light. Take a look at
the source. It looks, to my friends and me, like schematics for an atomic bomb.
The page wich wX9.jodi.org links to adds more to the mystery. The background
image is a topographic map of some where. (Some of my friends believe it to be
New England.) And there are lots of links there, some called reflector, or
target, and other such names. The background of one of these pages looks
like the cockpit of an airplane.
Check the page out and let me know what you think of it!
Well, the third image on the linked page is certainly the standard image used in textbooks for a nuclear fission reaction. Never having seen nuclear reactor/nuclear bomb schematics, I can’t comment on the others. The other pages gave me a headache to look at.
Yahoo and Google both have the site listed as “a collaboration between European artists Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans” (Google’s description). The site is registered to Heemskerk.
I don’t see any mystery, myself. Just a couple of digital artists’ creations using computer aided photography and real-world models.
One page linked from the one with the map in the background has a little animation with some people running and jumping. There’s another page with nothing but a list of numbers, all links to the same list, but listed in a different fasion.
what a freakin insane pile of links, its crazy the sites you wind up at.
and yes from my limited knowledge and the crappy artwork the source code for the page “could” be a nuke type bomb, of course with that lame drawing it could be one of those cap bomb kids toys.
Lockfist: What a web site’s name is has nothing to do with how it works or doesn’t work. Not all web addresses start with “www” either - I’m amazed at how often I hear that misconception. I could call a website bite.me.you.fool.com and it would work fine.
Yes, those diagrams are nuclear bombs. I came across those exact same diagrams when I was reading about nuclear weapons the other day. The top one is a “fat man” style plutonium bomb, and the bottom one is a “little boy” style uranium bomb. The document I originally saw these in outlined the function of each numbered part, etc. It also had that same diagram of how nuclear fission works (the third diagram on the jodi.org page).
The background of the second page mentioned in the OP is definitely a map of New England (I live in western Massachusetts, so I recognized it immediately). The topo contours do not in any way match up with the actual terrain in that area, though. They’re basically nonsense.
The important thing to note about this page is the filename “message.hqx,” and the “.hqx” extension in particular. It’s a Mac file format, which means this monstrosity was likely created by a bunch of self-important “digital artists” who use Macs instead of actual computers. Consequently, they create crap like this instead of actual art.
Jodi.org may smack of Wired-magazine-style pseudo-art, but it’s still an amusing diversion for a few minutes.
