Man Scrawls World's Biggest Message with GPS 'Pen' (http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/08/worlds-biggest-writing/)
Quote from: WiredOne man drove 12,238 miles across 30 states to scrawl a message that can only be viewed using Google Earth. His big shoutout: "Read Ayn Rand."
Nick Newcomen did a road trip over 30 days that covered stretches from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean. First, he identified on a map the route he would need to drive to spell out the message. He put a GPS device in his car to trace the route he would follow. Then, he hit the road.
"The main reason I did it is because I am an Ayn Rand fan," he says. "In my opinion if more people would read her books and take her ideas seriously, the country and world would be a better place — freer, more prosperous and we would have a more optimistic view of the future."

Good Times.

You could be his mom too.
I don't care about his message, I would have chosen something slightly more.... worth it.
Love the over the top method though. LOVE IT!

I enjoy the fact that he used tax-funded highways and the Dept. of Defense's GPS system to spread his message of Randian Objectivism.
