I've been looking for more geeky art to put up in my home office (like their version on CafePress with the code in the image - http://www.cafepress.com/preshing.571735472 http://www.cafepress.com/preshing.571735472). Does anyone know others like that?

A Sierpinski gasket? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierpinski_triangle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierpinski_triangle It can also be generated by doing mod 2 on Pascal's triangle.

I once generated this: http://panzi.deviantart.com/art/Prime-Numbers-102507767 http://panzi.deviantart.com/art/Prime-Numbers-102507767 Each red pixel represents a prime number. The source download link is currently broken. I'll fix that in a minute (if I can find the source again).
