ASCII art generator

Maybe this is as geek as it gets, but I think it’s fun and a good thing to file away in that part of your brain that might never be accessed again…

It’s called ASCII art! (What is ASCII?)

How to use an ASCII Art Generator

  1. Visit the generator
  2. Enter what you want to transform — type in text or upload an image
  3. Play with the different styles/looks
  4. Do what you want with the output — maybe post on someone’s Facebook wall to say ”happy birthday” or put it in your website’s source code (probably commented out, just like Vimeo’s)

Fun? Dumb? Exciting? Please share your comments.
