The footer on the subscribe page quotes Jerimiah 29:11 (" For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.") and lists this coordinate (32.7663,-117.1293), which googlemaps says is on a hillside above the 805 freeway in San Diego.

This is clearly a treasure hunt or an art project, right?

edit: also, the instagram is pretty artsy: https://www.instagram.com/lot2046/

Or it may as well be some kind of hipster religious sect... Nowadays one can't be really sure!

The coordinates come from an ajax call to https://ipinfo.io.

Backpack features even numbers along with 0 in positions they show up on a keypad. Interesting writing on the floss, deodorant, hair dye, perfume, and id bracelet as well

Interestingly the coordinates I get in the footer are 33.6751, -117.7339 which is some undeveloped land inside the Orange County Great Park - perhaps what it gives back is based on GeoIP?

It is, I got a location in the north of England where I'm based.

Interesting. I'm using a VPN so GeoIP didn't occur to me.

Could it be some variant of Geohashing?

The surrounding text in the footer is from Romans also "neither death nor life ..."
