Yeah. I'm waiting for an apartment complex to paint IF YOU LIVED HERE... Yup, replete with move-in specials! By the way, Target rocks! It's a bachelor's dream, especially now that they have grocery stores in them!  _____________________

OMG, what if people did MAP ART in RL for satelite photos!! http://adverlab.blogspot.com/2005/08/advertising-with-google-maps.html People have been doing just that in RL since airplanes were invented, and even moreso since sattelite photography. Here is just one one from Smithville Texas, a local rancher, but the country is littered with them...Google Sattelite link |

Nice! Now, if only I had a tactical missile... Indeed. I wonder at the wisdom of painting a large red target on the top of your building. |

Its not exactly a new idea. My class took a road trip to New York when I was in the 6th grade back in 75'. We went to the top of the Empire State Building and saw MANY stores like Macy's with roof signs.

human beings have been creating signs for others to read from the sky even before flight was discovered.
Like the Nasca Lines in Peru for example (the more scientific minded can click here instead ) _____________________

I think it's great to have our own inworld take on something that has been going on so long throughout humanity. Especially with the map being so colorful since the advent of 1.7--I can hardly remember a time when it was mainly green, brownish-green, and blue. And that was just months ago!
What's to come? Spanning haiku over several regions? Puzzles that must be transcoded? It's not unreasonable we'll reach a state where the map is updated realtime and we have animations on it from above and beyond. Just a little note, too, that the artist behind the red HUH? in Zero's article is none other than Steller Sunshine, the very first Resident of Second Life. In a way, that's rather fitting. _____________________
