You think he says something about "Noon blue apples"...?

Cannon here: If solving the problems posed by the Bush mis-Administration is getting you down, try your hand at this real-life murder mystery (which comes to our attention by way of Xymphora): Two years ago, one David Rayburn -- a tech-head in Saugus, Massachusetts -- killed his wife and son, then hanged himself. He left behind a bizarre cryptogram, apparently derived from computer keyboard symbols; the puzzle has never been solved. To get both the puzzle and further details, go here and here.

My first thought: Perhaps the message makes a sort of pictographic sense if translated into other fonts -- "Symbols" or "Wingdings" or something of that nature...?
