One of the many things I truly love about fellow geeks of this world is their ability to spend a vast amount of time and resources to create something that has absolutely no real value in this world other than its inherent geeky awesomeness.
Case in point, the above image is a mural of Super Mario that has been made from 17,000 push pins. Yes, that's right, push pins.
What you're looking at it is a 17,000 push-pin mosaic mural, a product of three revisions and a total of two and a half semesters of work. The final revision took a whopping two months of work by the CIS Student Association at the University of the Fraser Valley, and it's currently sitting in the Student Computing Center over there.
I applaud the students at that school for creating such an amazingly cool monument to the greatest video game character of all time. My hat is off to you folks, you are my heroes for today.
