[...] this is completely inspired by rmlumley.com. He decided he’d take images of things that he liked, and create small 72×72 pixel [...]

I think next time I’ll have people guess the icons.

I like Tank’s idea about a hover effect; maybe post guessing (if you’re going to go that route).

You should of taken more guesses as to what they were. That would have been fun to see what people guessed.

Being a word guy, I thought I’d give you a rundown of what I could see in your likes-matrix. (Misses are in parens):

Row One: (Some football thing): Apple logo; (random kitten); Cliché book; (can’t read the type) – score 2 recognized
Row Two: Zombies; turntable [and a microphone?]; X-box or X-box game; (unfamiliar red comic character) – 3
Row Three: (Mystery batter); UW-Mad logo; Lambeau Field, Green Bay; You and your lovely and talented wife doing the wedding dance; Clint as Man w/no Name [also a personal icon] -4
Row Four: Woody; (some bird); (can’t see it); Wisconsin Capitol dome; (unknown people) – 2
Row Five: (Unknown logo); (video game?); Prince; Great local beer; (Unknown robot) – 2
Total: 13 out of 25 recognized, 52%

But “abstract” doesn’t have to mean “unintelligible” or “too small to see” does it?

I’d like to do one every month, they might be a little smaller.

I like them being small, since it makes some of them abstract.

Some where to small and I couldn’t tell what they were. Make it so enlargeable! Great idea tho.

Neat. Knowing you I can recognize many of these items. I am curious to know if you are going to have 25 new things next month, or just 25 next icons of the same things.
