Vanity Proof

Just in case you thought we didn't really enter the competition.

It is quite interesting, and quite amazing that they have put all entries online. Given the nature of the boards, they must have used a rather remarkable digital camera setup to capture them all, and in such good lighting (no hot spots) and good resolution. My inner geek says hats off to them for that.

It is also, of course, doubly interesting to peruse the various entries and look them over from various angles including their architectonics, their response, their 'woah out there' and equally important the board itself. Regarding the above-capture process, some are so dark they didn't make it well into this format (and must have been hard to read IRL). There are professional entries, there are entries from people who felt they should enter. There are completed super slick and there are ones with just text and a little post-it-note. There are common themes, and there are the, er, unique.

There are also 5000+ of them. This could take a while to go through. :P

(I already commented on my thoughts on the winner(s) earlier, but let me add the difficulty of making a large, underground cavernous space remain a visitable place, especially in the presence of so much water...)
