- i am not here - styler*
Flickrland, circa April 1st 2005
This image is made from the ~74,000 buddyicons that were on flickr as of April 1st 2005.
The original PNG is 348MB in size, at 15072 x 11280 pixels and contains 73790 icons. Some icons (~200) were left out in order to make it rectangular at 4:3 ratio. So it makes nice wallpaper - the original uploaded to flickr is 1600 x 1200.

Holy... I keep wanting to cross my eyes and see something in there, like a 3D Dos Pesos or something.

I thought I could see my icon, but it came off when I cleaned my monitor's screen.

funny how when you put enough data in it always ends up looking like static.

Makes you wonder what's in real static ;)

How do you get a copy of all of the buddyicons? Obviously you don't go through 74,000 accounts!
bees (87 months ago | reply)

I have done the "3D staring" thing and yes there seems to be an odd shape floating in the middle.. sort of like an embryo... or prenatal baby... and... my god... it's full of stars... ...

Could we get the original as a torrent? Y'know, if it's not too much trouble or anything...

You should put the full size PNG on a BitTorrent tracker and share it. I'd love to see it in all its glory.

I wonder if my icon is in there. I was around here (here == flickr) on April 1, 2005
