To celebrate the 200 millionth download of Firefox, the Oregon State Linux Users Group created a 45,000+ square foot crop circle of the Firefox logo in an Amity, Oregon oat field (with permission, of course). The circle's planning took two weeks and it took a team of 12 more than 14 hours to stomp the image into the oats. You can read a description of the process at the OSLUG Wiki and view lots of photos of the field before, during, and after the circle's making in the gallery.

Cool. Simply Put.

I'll be first to mention that a good photoshopper could've done the same thing.

But wow, they did a very good job.

I simply don't understand this fixation over a web browser. Sure, its great, I love using it, but some people treat it almost religiously...

check out the high res of it, shot by a 20d. Pretty cool in high res (looks much better imo.)

Interesting way to spend 14 hours.. hehhe.. But seriously that is pretty good work no matter how you look at it.. But I can think of much better ways to spend 14 hours...

I think this incident is not an act of "worship", but a creative attempt to get more public attention -- just like the New York Times frontpage they did a while ago.

There are far creepier cults among computer users.

I shaved the Head-Fi logo into my chest to celebrate it's 5th birthday.
