I have had two people emaling today saying they and their friends want to create their own versions of rooftop Waldos! One in Phoenix AZ, and one in New Orleans! This is great, and I hope they begin popping up in many cities! My intention is to create a PDF of instructions and provide the grid, so Waldo making will become open source. It will be fun to track their progress on here as well.
So much media today, and my most hits ever, over 13,000! Thanks! Here is me on CTV.
PS: Would any of you be willing to mail me a copy of the newspaper articles about my Waldo in your city? I think it will impress my teachers if at my graduation review I show newspaper articles from around the world!

Congrats on your project and the media attention!
Finding the location of your Waldo was actually super easy… it doesn’t help that there’s a certain identifiable ___________ in your current aerial shot that dramatically narrows down the search, though.
Hello! Here you have an article published in Portugal: http://diario.iol.pt/tecnologia/wally-google-earth/937797-4069.html.
Good luck!
Fantastic idea!
I saw your Waldo …or Wally(lol) at Globo International TV.
Hugs from Japan!
I found the damn roof but there is no waldo on it.
WTF??!!!
Hi there! Just read an article in Época magazine, from Brazil (the title: “Personagem da Semana – Onde está Wally? no google earth”) . Such a cool idea. I’ll simply have to blog about it
My name is Matthew and I am from Sydney, Australia. There is a free paper distributed in the CBD and your Wally featured in it. This is how I found your website!
Hi Matthew that is really cool! You are the first I have heard from Australia!
Another Australian here! Article was published in free CBD newspaper in Brisbane called mX. Can scan the article and email if you have a contact address?
Hi Matt, I would love to see it! My email is mcoles@eciad.ca
Hi,
i saw your idea on a web site and it was amazing. How is that doc going? i want to do it in Brasil too… Let’s spread Waldos!

Hi,
your website and GREAT idea was mentioned in an online version of the ‘gazet van antwerpen’ in Belgium. http://www.gva.be/nieuws/in_de_rand/default.asp?art={8045C973-F602-4D38-8155-7294DF92B083}
I’ll check in the store tonight if it’s in the paper version too, and if so, mail it to you!

Hi !
I read about your Wally in De Morgen, a Belgian newspaper, but I can’t find a link to the online version.
On the website of De Standaard, another Belgian newspaper, they also mention your idea : http://standaard.typepad.com/en_nu_even_ernstig/2008/04/where-on-earth.html
Good luck !
And this one in another Belgian newspaper (at least in the online version
) :
