I found this cool link from chaotic intransient prose bursts, a source of many cool OS X things. It is a little program (? I think) that lets you view any quicktime movie from the terminal window in ASCII. I like to set the background colour to black and the text to green to get the old green screen / matrix effect 
Have a look at an example or go straight to the download from Apple’s developer site.
Reminds me of something Lev Manovich wrote about in The Language of New Media
Have a look at telnet://towel.blinkenlights.nl if you’re interested in ASCII Starwars
I don’t know why, but every couple of years I seem to get some kind of virus which results in me feeling like crap and being covered in spots of some sort. In the past it has been Rubella, Chicken Pox, something like Rubella and now ?. The doctor says it looks like something called Kawasaki, which sounds cool but it’s not likely to be that because it only usually effects kids under the age of 5. Who knows what it is, but I’m feeling a bit better now.
