Is Rasterbation Wrong?

[OneAngryDaisy]

Whoa whoa, yall are totally off topic- rasterbation is WRONG! One shouldn't rasterbate, but I did yesterday... tested a small 6 page west coast choppers logo, it came out sweet.. next year I'll have to print 30 or so pages at RIT for my ceiling .. I wonder what others will say when they see a daisy on my ceiling, the women might just love it

So I think we've all reached a new level of geekdom.

Rasterbation is not wrong! In my case, the keyboard I made is about 170 pages, but I eliminated the last row because it was just blank in the original. A few tips if you're going to be making large ones like this...

Two sided tape rules. Put an extra piece on the wall so that all four corners that meet everywhere will be on it. Of course, put them up with a few pieces on the back. But if you put the extras on the corners, it finishes up nicely and you don't see any tape. Also, you might want to separate the rows into piles so you can do it left to right, or just a column at a time, or whatever. Rather than left to right top down they way it prints. There's also a forum on the rasterbator site for more tips. High contrast images work best of course.

Also, dez and I have been plotting a little. What if you split the FIRST logo into several pieces and rasterbated each into the largest possible size. Then put them on posterboards and made a gigantic (we're talking like 100 ft wide) logo in the stands at nationals? Somehow I doubt FIRST would take it down.

If I had the paper/money, I think I would make a huge collage (LEGO + RCX + Spybot + FIRST + CD + FIRSTwiki + VB + ...)
