<i>A strange phenomenon is occurring with increased frequency across the globe. These unexplained events are harbingers of a massive change in mankind's direction. How do we know? Because it's happened before. Another Jump is coming and we need your help. Join the cause.<br>—Baron and Hector</i><br><br>
<b>PIE Theory</b> is a cool new interactive game featuring Baron Rude and Hector Macchiato, two nerds—(Ahem!) Paranomal Investigation Experts (PIEs)—who think big leaps in technology are foreshadowed by paranormal events, and that one is around the corner. Are they on to something? There's only one way to find out: Play along using Baron and Hector's "Recruit Toolkit" comprised of JavaFX 1.1 and NetBeans 6.5. Learn more about <a href="http://www.pietheory.com/index.html">PIE Theory</a> and how to play.</p><br style="clear:both;"/>
