Alien technology is not rocket science

Today, I am mo-blogging from Oregon State University, while I am here for work and “turkey week” reasons.

I came across this neat poster for the Open Source Education Lab featuring the Firefox Crop Circle. (The OSU LUG, in case you didn’t know, were the people who made that famous crop circle last summer, realizing an idea by the two former Mozilla interns Matt Shichtman and John Cary!)

    I have a small correction to make. The OSU LUG did indeed help design and construct the Firefox crop circle this summer, but the original idea was not theirs.

    The original idea came from the two video interns this summer, Matt Shichtman and John Cary. They put a lot of hard work into it, and it’s sad to not see them get the credit they deserve.

    Not to say that the OSU LUG wasn’t a major part of the crop circle coming to life, but Matt and John deserve some credit, too.

    Oh, thanks! I added this to the text. Without the initial idea, of course the whole project would not have happened :)
