Crop circles of the geeky... -er kind

Check this out. Remember back in the day when geeks, dorks, and nerds used to hide inside and play video games and imagine what boobies felt like? Well now apparently they have branched out of their parents' basement and replaced their computers with boards and string.

So now we've got this colossal Firefox (see: the browser you should be using) crop circle thanks to the Oregon State University Linux Group.

These guys have been responsible for rather large acts of Firefix fandom at all of the big benchmarks in the software's life. For example, at 50 million downloads they painted this on their campus quad. At 100 million they launched a weather balloon toting a Firefox banner.

Out of all of them though I'd have to say this is definitely the coolest, I mean it's a CROP CIRCLE! That's pretty slick.

Thanks for the interesting geek stories Linux team!

Firefox - if you don't have it, this page probably looks fairly busted because IE is kinda (see: really) crappy, so pick it up and see what you've been missing. Also, Firefox 2.0 is due out this October '06, so make sure you ready your downloading finger.

Grease Monkey - Great addon to allow for user based scripts in your Firefox browser, ever wish you could download the videos I place here from google video and youtube? Well now you can, download Grease Monkey and this app and you'll be able to do just that.

FLV Player - You'll need this to be able to view the movies off of YouTube as they don't get downloaded to a nice format like .avi
