… and then I Silverlit it!
Is alternately a LOLQuilt, a ROFLMosaic, or a Deep LOL! :)
Here is the full screen version.
Click, drag, shift-click and use the mouse wheel to see that the image is made of over 10,000 LOLCats (there are 2,442 unique images here).
How this came to be?
The kittehs are from the very awesum icanhascheezburger.com which I love and will link to again because I hope they will also find this awesum and not tell me to make it go away.
The photomosaic was generated using AndreaMosaic, a utility for making fun images like this one.
The output of AndreaMosaic got processed by Deep Zoom Composer and turned into a Silverlight app.
And then uploaded to Silverlight Streaming which lets me host these kittehs on the intarwebs without bringing mai wee server to its knees (i hope i hope i hope).

August 8, 2008Very awsome. I hope your server is standing up to the punishment.

I wuv icanhascheezburger.com and your LOL quilt has made my day! I became aware of your LOL quilt because there is a LOLcats email alias here at Microsoft and someone shared a link to your full screen version. :)

I love it! It looks like you haven’t updated it to work with the final release of Silverlight 2, though, so it doesn’t work anymore. Let me know if you need help with that.

Hi! Man, PLEASE tell me how you managed to create the mosaic like this using AndreasMosaic??
Did you use the pro version?
If not, what was the configurations to create that mosaic??
I REALLY appreciate your help!
Thanks a lot!

You should try to use other photomosaic software: Artensoft Photo Mosaic Wizard(http://www.artensoft.com/ArtensoftPhotoMosaicWizard/)
March 21, 2011The result image looks more better.
