It is unfortunate, but I look a lot better in ASCII! I just downloaded this cool (and open source!) app called ascgen2. You can download it here: http://ascgendotnet.jmsoftware.co.uk/

What this does is converts a digital image into text using only the ascii character set. The ascii characters are only about 128 printable characters including capital and lowercase letters, numbers, special characters like the pound, asterisk, ampersand and the space character.

With this application, you can change some variables such as brightness etc. Download it….if you are a geek like me.

Have fun!
