Donkey Kong Recreated Using 6,400 Post-it Notes

NickFitz writes "Students at UCSC have recreated the first level of Donkey Kong using 6,400 Post-it notes stuck to the windows of the E2 building. It took a team of about 10 people five hours to complete the work, which will remain in place until May 1. There's a time-lapse video of the construction process."

Hooray for geeks with way too much time on their hands.

Because obviously every minute of every day for 4+ years you are going to do nothing but attend class and do work for those courses. Besides, it's not like these kids did it at night or anything. Oh, wait... Stop trying to act like some self-rightous ass - it's not very becoming.

Perspective? What perspective?

These folks brought a little art, entertainment, and joy into their own lives and the lives of others. Not only did they select a relatively environmentally friendly medium for their art, but these post-it notes may have been from recycled paper, may still be re-used, and can also be recycled.

You want some perspective? Get your head out of your bong (or wherever else it happens to be).

That actually wasn't the point. The point is that the paper industry is planting new forest for the purpose of later cutting them down to make paper, instead of cutting more old forest. The secondary point is that not only do we keep the remaining old forest this way, but we also have a larger number of living trees on the earth at any given time than we would otherwise. True, the excess trees are not in a wonderful diverse ecosystem (I love forests), but at least they are trees.
