Ever since I started using Facebook, I’ve wondered why our uploaded photos always showed in such a low resolution, without the possiblity of enlarging them.

LarsD from over at BlogInTheBag.com has created a program (still command line based, I believe) that will create a 100 megapixel mosaic picture, based on your Twitter followers and it will eventually look like your own profile picture.
