Last night I was reading the Cartoon Brew blog and I came across the Morse Code challenge they posted. I started fiddling with the letters a bit and must must have flipped some sort of implanted hypnotic trigger.

It was a slow rumble at first and then a doughy computer science student lumbered out of the cobwebs of my subconscious with a fist full of stuffed crust pizza. He downloaded some bad techno remixes and started finessing the keyboard with his chubby finger tips. A couple hours later he was gone and in his place there was a slight grease stain and a recursive function for decoding Morse Code without spaces between the letters.

Unfortunately my inner C.S. nerd didn’t write a function that would cross check with a dictionary for real words so I was stuck scrolling through a giant list looking for words or names. So far the only semi realistic sentence I’ve come up with is “Key Sound Talent Amy Nero.” I don’t think this is what it’s supposed to say and actually suspect that there isn’t a message in the image at all but I do like the idea of hiding secret codes in short films. I think I’ll try to make a point of it in my own work.
