Linq to ASCII Art
Last night I was searching for an audio version of Painters and Hackers by Paul Graham. Pretty soon I had completely forgotten about the book and found myself reading the Wikipedia article about Hackers. Isn't Internet search great?
Of all of the things in the article, the one thing that captured my attention was the ASCII picture of Adrian Lamo. I immediately thought, "How cool is that!?" So instead of popping off my current stack frame and returning to searching for Painters and Hackers, I began thinking about how to create such a picture. I certainly did not want to create it by hand. I didn't even want to pick which characters or colors would be printed to the screen. So accordingly, I began thinking of writing a program to do it for me.
