Feh. Looks chunky without anti-aliasing. Compare to this one: http://foohack.com/favicon.ico

If you rotate the favicon of HugeURL by 90 degrees to the left,you'll get the favicon of Foo Hack. Were they made by the same person?

You don't get quite the same image, though. Note that mine is anti-aliased, and thus the circles appear a lot more circular.

The glider emblem was made famous by ESR: http://www.catb.org/~esr/hacker-emblem/

A lot of sites use the glider as their favicon.

The glider is an "animal" from conway's game of life and has been popularized as a "hacker" symbol for a while, though I don't think it ever caught on in a huge way.

Because ESR is a tool.
