If you click on the E-mail Me link and email Winston he replies as follows: "I'm currently doing a speaking arrangement at the International Origami Institute. Be back next week!"
Based on that reply and all the references to Origami on his main page and the YouTube video link in this blog to building an origami balloon you realize that Origami is going to be used to resolve the last clue. In his private gallery there is a picture that is called "Inflation will Put an End to Your Plight", which is reference to money and in turn a reference to one of the financial software apps in this Heist - Cha-Ching. Also the title indicates that it "will put and end to your plight" meaning an end to your Heist. The RSS feed references "Blow it up" and the picture of Winston shows him blowing. Upon folding the picture as instructed by the YouTube video and blowing up the origami balloon it reveals four possible code numbers 7304, 3407, 4073 or 3407. If you start from the number you blow into #3, then the revealed code is 3407.
