Recognize this handsome mug?

ASCII portrait

If it bears a striking resemblance to the favicon for this site, it should. Anyway, you, too, can convert your own self to a retro-chic ASCII version via ASCII Art Made Easy. Any image (up to 640x480 px) can be converted to ASCII format. The only catch is that it must be uploaded to a website; the input form requires an URL for the source image. You can even add some color. But that's a bit gauche, don't you think?

One tip: For best results, use simple photos with relatively high contrast.

It's sort of like one of those Magic Eye things, though this one I could actually make out.

I had the same thought about the Magic Eye thing.

The favicon is supposed to be a face? I always thought it was... uh... Brown Ring of Shame?
