Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that's-the-way-we-like-it dept.

This past weekend, the OSU Linux Users Group descended on a field in Oregon to create a 45,000+ square foot crop circle of Firefox. The photos and write-up are worth checking out.

    Bonus geek points for using an HP graphing calculator and string instead of GPS. Though I'm not quite sure why the farmers would give permission for parts of their crop to be destroyed (even if he/she's an OSS advocate).

    man, talk about beating the magic out something - that's a hell of a lot of pictures.
