The magnitude of the awesome required to pull this off astounds me! While I’m sure it can’t be 100% justifiable to the environmentalists to send a briefcase all around the world just to make a drawing, I’m impressed nonetheless.
I wonder what might be done to make a bigger drawing than a global one? Off to the moon next?
The 17th of March 2008, I sent away a briefcase containing a GPS device with the express transportation company DHL. I gave them exact travel intructions, where to go and in what order. 55 days later the briefcase returned to Stockholm. The GPS automatically recorded the briefcase’s journey around the world. Due to the GPS drawing technique and the magnitude of the drawing, the self portrait had to be made in only one stroke. That giant stroke passed through 6 continents and 62 countries, thus becoming 110 644 km long.

This picture is becoming my nemesis. Why have I discovered so many geeky online ways to interact with friends and strangers alike at possibly the busiest and most important stage of my academic life so far? Ugh!
More importantly, why do these services keep on breaking on me!? Twitter(rific) I love you but you’re such an ass!
“Ice cucumber Pepsi. It’s a limited edition soda only available in Japan. What does it taste like? “Kind of like Satan in my mouth,” according to a guy on YouTube named Peter who lives in Japan.”
“A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts.”
