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 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!!!
