Another one:
Some guy named Dave wrote his name in a field in Bunker Hill, IL.
that is awesome -- how did you find that?!
Someone posted it on another techie forum. I stole it, since no one had posted it here yet.
There was a slashdot posting about where and when a particular sattelite was going to be taking pictures. I guess some one took advantage of that.
Thank that is cool? Check out Luecke
Dave got owned.
That's crazy, it must've taken so long to do that since it's done with all trees.

Minus a number of new buildings since then. There's actually the construction going on across 75 where they were building Technology Square. They haven't even started on the Klaus Advanced Computing building yet there.

When I started last semester it was a big ditch.

I'm not sure when the photo was taken, but it looks like they're getting ready for commencement at the Husky Stadium.

Not that I go there...but Boise state and their weird blue football turf

From http://earth.jsc.nasa.gov/newsletter/SpatialRes/default5.htm:
We also made an empirical estimate of spatial resolution for lower contrast vegetation boundaries. By clearing forest so that a pattern would be visible to landing aircraft, a landowner outside Austin, Texas (see also aerial photo in Lisheron 2000), created a target that is also useful for evaluating spatial resolution of astronaut photographs. The forest was selectively cleared in order to spell the landowner?s name ?LUECKE? with the remaining trees (figure 10). According to local surveyors who planned the clearing, the plan was to create letters that were 3100 ´ 1700 ft (944.9 ´ 518.2 m). Photographed at a high altitude relative to most Shuttle missions (543 km) with a 250-mm lens, Formula 3 predicts that each pixel would represent an area 28.6 ´ 36.0 m on the ground (table 5). When original film was digitised at 2400 ppi (10.6 mm/pixel), letters correspond to 29.4 ´ 18.8 pixels for a comparable pixel size of 27 ? 32 m.
Yup, no degree from there, but I've take some classes. I live on the other side of the Sound. I've been taking classes in the evenings from the Tacoma campus.
Oh, cool...
Yeah, it's a great institution, and the whole Pacific Northwest area was just so unbelievable :thumbsup:
Trident Structure
Have fun figuring out what this is (and maybe get yourself on a government watchlist)...

Looks like either some type of ship loading dock, or more likely, it looks like they're building a bridge across the bay. the middle road being the main highway, and the two outter prongs being temporary structures to hold construction equipment.
