Show Your ASCII

ASCII if you are not familiar pronounced ass-key goes way back. Going back to at least the 60's, it was a coding standard for early computing. It has also come to be used as a generic term for pictures or images made from characters like letters, numbers, and punctuation. My first experience with this was in high school using C+. I made a low rider truck using letters, it was also a simple animation that the wheels spun and it drove off the screen. (it took me a week to make typing and spacing) Today thanks to the advancements in science and technology its much easier to make a picture into an ASCII representation:) ASCII Generator does the work for you. Consider it making a geek portrait. The application has options to change the characters used to make the image and various other options. Its cool to play around with and its a small program. On their homepage there is a cool example of a photo of the human eye converted to ASCII. Check it out
