Aliens prefer Firefox

11 April 2007

Last August, a group of aliens Oregon State University students created a Firefox logo crop circle in a field near Salem, Oregon. The goal? Why, to have it appear on Google Maps, of course!

If you think that’s cool, rather than incredibly geeky, dorky and nerdy (yes, it qualifies as all three), then there’s a shirt for you.

UoP is the personal blog of Minneapolis-based freelance web developer and independent musician Scott Anderson @room34.
Scott is the sole proprietor of Room 34 Creative Services, and creator of ICS Calendar, No Nonsense, On This Day and other WordPress plugins. You can find Scott's music — as Room 34 — on YouTube, Bandcamp, and all major streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify. He also plays bass with 32nd Street Jazz, South High Community Band and Lake Country Jazz Collective.
