Re: Can't stop smiling

Expanding on the idea a bit. Remember the old 'art' of writing words on a calculator screen?

1) Find a US city with a nice grid pattern street layout.

2) Map out a word onto the street layout.

3) Get a couple of dozen people together, each with 100 or so phones in a backpack.

3) Station each of the participants at a predetermined intersection.

4) Have each person walk (or bike) around their designated city block until Google Maps shows the word online.
