+GPX Navigators Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Sweet! Did you set it up? They aren't in date order are they? Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Sweet! Did you set it up? They aren't in date order are they? I had it in registration order (which is basically the order that the icons were paid for, regardless of when they were minted, if ever). But I prefer a little chaos in my life, so I randomized it. Plus, if I'm feeling mean, I might make a puzzle cache out of this, giving a list of icon names, and make them look up the icons and then find the icons in the grid. The randomness will come in handy then. --Marky Quote Link to comment

Seriously cool Marky. Quote Link to comment
+dflye Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Wow that is a GREAT image, and you sure did just give me an idea for obfuscating the coordinates to a coin cache! Quote Link to comment
+n8turgrl Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 That is a great image!!! Although i'm blind now from looking at it for so long! Plus I didn't realize you could zoom in until I accidently double clicked on the image LOL oh well....its still a cool image! Quote Link to comment
+TheCollector Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 May i steal the idea of a puzzle cache using this? Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) 1426 icons!!! Wow!!! Did you know, tho, that the My Pinz icon is in there at least SIX times? Are any others in there more than once? CF30 Edited January 30, 2008 by Crowesfeat30 Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 May i steal the idea of a puzzle cache using this? Anyone may use the idea. I'm sure different people will come up with different methods. --Marky Quote Link to comment

Are any others in there more than once? Actually, those are all different icon numbers (i.e. they would show up on different lines in your owned and found list), then just happen to have submitted the same .gif file for them all. You'd have to talk to Steve about why the images aren't unique. --Marky+ Quote Link to comment
+007BigD Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 That is so cool! Glad you shared that with us! You must have been bored and thought "Hmmmm, Lets see what all the icons will look like together! You know what would be really cool to do with all those? Create one of those PhotoMosaics, although this one would be a IconMosaic! Ya know- they take a whole bunch of pics and arrange them so they make a big picture from aways away, using nothing more than the little pics! Like this, but only the icons!!! Quote Link to comment

What coin should I do. Something with a lot of colors would be cool. Any thoughts? --Marky Quote Link to comment

Are ya gonna try to do it yourself? man that would take some dedication and time...But Ive seen your coin baskets, so time and dedication is one thing you certainly find somehow! I have also heard of a company that may do the work for you...If I remember right , you just give them the pics you wanna use and the final pic you are after, and in the end you have a PhotoMosaic! They may have even made puzzles or somethin if ya want...cant remember where i saw it though. A coin-eh? Hmmm...Id say the CompassRose, just because its a beautifull, colorful and popular coin, that would look good. I personally wouldnt, but it would make a good one! Then again your micro is personal, so that'd be cool too. You should pick the prettiest coin that would appeal to you...Boy Thats a pretty hard one come to think about it~ So many out there and a colorfull one would definatley be best. let us know if you are really gonna try it...That would definatley be cool! OOOOOOH- The Geocoinfest-A Mosaic of events coin!!!!...sure would be appropriate Quote Link to comment
