All these advanced image-tricks to convert or alter your Flickr-pics are awesome, but good old ASCII-art is still something not to forget about.
To make life easier in creating this kind of rather complex imagery, there is Photo2text.
Let’s take the below logo of Phetch and run it trough the web-interface. The final result can be found here. Take some distance from the screen for a slight improvement of the effect.
Pretty neat, eh?

A Firefox extension is coming, but still resides in the sandbox…

Joffie recently showed me the ESP Game (he’ll probably post about that game someday ). The ESP Game however showed me a link to Phetch.

The game is simple and addictive (yes, now I have warned you!). You describe a picture you see and the others (who you don’t know) will try to find it. The better you describe it, the faster people can find it. Then it’s the seeker’s turn and you’ll have to hunt down the image. Speed is of essence here. Highly addictive and fun!
