Reminds me of an idea someone at Google had: As an Easter Egg, rent the plot of land in Kansas where the default center is for US users, and have a gigantic Google logo cut in the corn.

Look at that island, shaped like our number four... really makes you think.

The Q seemed a bit of a stretch.

Several of these looked like a bit of a stretch. Plus, if I use Google Earth, I expect to see Boobiess.

my favorites are "i" and "w"

Damn it, double s...foiled again!

Look at the scale in this (New window) It's BIG... But, it IS Texas...

Okay, be honest... how many of you mentally sang the alphabet song while you advanced through the slideshow?

Pixelvision: Giant house penis is not amused

That kid must have a really weird looking penis.

The 32 year old concentrated his task in the Australian state of Victoria and took just six months to find every letter

Next step is to leave mom's basement and look for a job.

Rhett Dashwood has limited design skillz. I followed the link and got this page:

Oh hai IE6,

Unfortunately we do not yet support this browser.
Until we do, please consider downloading Firefox.

Oh hai Rhett, you're a complete moron.

Not exactly the first....

I heard about this site in 2006: http://www.geogreeting.com/main.html

letrole: Oh hai Rhett, you're a complete moron.

Why? Rhett's not the one using IE.

letrole: Oh hai Rhett, you're a complete moron.
tonesskin: Why? Rhett's not the one using IE.

He needs to make the site W3 compliant. Who knows, it might actually "support IE6".

After he's done that, he can play with stoopid browser tricks like cursor trails and scrolling title bars.

Hey, that's cool!

So what level is your magician up to?

The "z" has me screaming for my money back.

Y'know, one thing that bothers me about these Google Earth articles is they never provide any easy copy and paste so you can look at them yourself.

giant penii are funny.

SomeOldDude: Okay, be honest... how many of you mentally sang the alphabet song while you advanced through the slideshow?

This!!

//guilty

The "j" was a stretch, but it was also farking awesome.

The T is bullshiat, looks shopped, pixels... ect.

horonto, I see your swastika building and raise you...



...a swastika tree patch.

/don't think it exists anymore...

Nothing new.

A kid in my grad school program 5 years back had written a program where you could put in words and it'd spell it with google sat images. His included punctuation and numerics. Neither is worthy of a green light.

That...is unbelievably awesome. It's what...3 miles long? If you zoom in enough to see the trees, you can't even tell it's part of a giant letter. Holy shiat. And the reason for its existence is even more awesome.

This one caught my eye the other day and it's got all kinds of stuff going on. The area in the bottom center is especially, uh, interesting.

For the Phoenix area residents playing along, this is at the corner of 56th and Thunderbird.

meh, been there, done that. If you really want to impress me do this for Russian or Japanese (both syllabaries)



/jk, this is pretty cool
/but I still want to see it for another orthography...

And here's one from my old 'hood:
