asciiconvert.com

I've been having trouble getting the output from asciiconvert.com to play nice with blogger, but it's still a cool site. It converts images to letters as below. For example, given an ordinary digital image of some tired person, like this one:

it can convert it to a sequence of N's semicolons, etc., that look like the original. If this doesn't look good to you, part of the blame is my blog settings, but try reducing your font size and/or squinting.

It has several different options. For example, colored text:

But, if you ask me, using a coloured character background is cheating!
