iCE's Modern Version Of Old-Fashioned Quilting Bee

Ant writes "tiles.ice.org is a Web site with a cool art idea as a tribute to Salvador Dali. It is iCE (remember ANSI art, you old school computer users?)'s answer to the old-fashioned quilt party, minus the gathering of elderly women. It's a unique opportunity for collaborative artwork on the net. A huge image, composed of individual 'tiles' is created, one piece at a time. The goal when making a tile is to mesh your work as smoothly as possible with the surrounding tiles, while creating something cool, artistic, and if applicable, on-topic. Check out the finished sample. I love the ants in the quilt tiles!"

    Ahh... I love the thought of posting a site dedicated soley to serving images upon the Slashdot main page. In fact, I can't possibly think of any faster way to completely annihilate a server and it's connection to the internet.

    Like linking to a predominately text site doesn't trash the site, someone thought it would be a good idea to link to a picture site? Like what, you expected people to be able to view any of the pictures before the server turned into a steaming pile of goo?

    Well, I got to see one, nya nya nya!
