Slashdot Mirror
Physical ASCII Mosaic
An anonymous submitter, who might be Eric Harshberger, writes: "Some of my past LEGO whackiness seemed to make a few Slashdot readers chuckle, so I thought I'd pass along this link to my latest creation: A mosaic built of thousands and thousands of tiny little letter bricks. Kind of a weird turn on the ol' ASCII artwork." You may remember this guy from the famous Lego desk.
I've been working in oil paints and ink, and all I had to do to get recognition was to build something out of Legos? Ppph! :)

Wow This man...this is a work of art Not a very good work of art, but art none the less.
I think his server was made of lego too! Only 20 comments and it's on fire! Can somebody post a mirror?
Send lawyers, guns, and money!
Very cool, but what does Callista Flockhart think of it? Have you heard back from her?
And, since you built the whole thing out of the 1x1's, is this indicative of your opinion that she needs to eat more?

Woot w00t w007.
I sit here a newly minted graduate about to start my first job after getting my Bachelor's degree in two weeks. Most of my friends suggested that I go on a vacation or get drunk non-stop to celebrate my last real month of freedom. So it's 11:50 PM on a Friday night and I'm sitting here sipping some Bacardi-O while passing up an opportunity to go clubbing to work on an implementation for an XML database query language that I plan to GPL or BSD license upon completing.
Yet all I can say is this guy is the biggest geek I have ever seen. I am bowled over. The part about writing a Perl script to analyze the output of the image to ASCII art program to match his distribution of Modulux blocks was the straw that broke the camel's back. That is bad ass!!!

Yeah, thats rocket science all right, boy. Put the bacardi down and masturbate 2 handed you will enjoy it more.
Bad ass. Now that is funny....
If he really wanted approval of the /. community, he could have used a REAL actress, and done us trolls a favour with Physical ASCII of Natalie Portman. (And if she were to be naked & petrified, I sure as hell wouldn't complain.)
Just a thought.
So, with cartoon characters and Alice discarded, I turned to the next obvious thing: an actress... I decided to use a picture of Calista Flockhart.
Calista Flockhart isn't a cartoon character? Coulda fooled me.
the no
when i first saw the desk, through a website board, my first thought was "Dammit, LEGO isn't ready for the desktop yet!"
FreeBSD for the impatient.
Who would you have prefered? Perhaps, Natalie Portman?
Bringing irony to the Slash-masses
...will never, ever have sex.
"Hey baby, come up to my bed room and see my, uh, Lego set."
Why bother.
Just wondering. It's along the same lines.
Should be simple enough to find out...
"My sources say no."
Nope, not him.
Quick! Ban Lego! Do it for the Kids!
