Homer Simpson Drawn With Web 2.0-Style ASCII Art

Posted by timothy on from the should-be-an-online-convertor-for-this dept.

boogi78 writes "Remember ASCII art? This is the Web 2.0 CSS version of ASCII art featuring Homer Simpson. Here is a CSS G.W. Bush. There's also an program that automatically converts jpegs into 'CSS images,' but it's a Windows executable. I found no sources for it, but I got it to work with WINE."

    If we're really lucky, after that we'll get Web 3.1, Web 3.14, Web 3.141, ...

    Are you sure that's the progression? I thought Web 3.1 would be followed by Web 3.11, and then by Web for Workgroups.

    But of course! That's what Web 2.0 is all about: turning simple applications with a bit of necessary networking into unmanageably complex monstrosities requiring a full data-center and a plugged-up, memory-gobbling web browser to support one measly user and brought to life by the power of Great Cthulhu.

    See, you're using Web 1.0, so it's rendering Homer more like he was drawn in the early Simpsons cartoons.

    If you go to the edit menu in your browser and choose "select all" on the George Bush picture, he ends up looking like a Quintesson from the Transformers...which probably explains the last 7 years.

    I've been sending goatse pics to unsuspecting web-savvy friends all morning. I haven't pulled off an unsuspecting-goatse in _years_!

    I attach them as HTML source inside text/plain MIME sections

    Nerdy friends then get annoyed at my email-incompetence, save them as .html files and pop 'em open in the browser.

    Whooo hoooo

    Now... who else can I goatse?
