It was discovered by <a href="http://www.designtastesgood.com/?p=34">Design Tastes Good</a>, they sent an email to Scoble with questions and <a href="http://scobleizer.wordpress.com/2006/02/23/what-is-the-origami-project/">Scoble responded in his snobby manner</a> "I know everything, but I can't say it to you".
