Computer Science Community's adopted emblem
I came across this today. It is called a "glider" and is taken from "the game of life". I don't fully understand what it is, but the computer science community has adopted it as their emblem. I would like to find out more about it, and what it stands for.

Yeah, I ran across the same logo a couple of years ago. At that time it was a visual representation of the Hacker community. It was an emblem that one guy was proposing for use and adoption by the community. I guess it has picked up some momentum since then. It was a design he came up with and he gave some background info on it. If I can find the link I will repost. But basically there are computer games that simulate life. The "morph" and "adapt" so to speak. His message was that the media has the term "Hacker" all wrong. Being a hacker is about being curious and adaptive. I will look for that link.
