Ascii Video Playback!
This is an idea that came to me long time ago and finally had some time to implement it.
It’s an ascii video player. Check it out
DEMO HERE ! (Right click for source)
I find it as an useless but cool idea. But still, if anyone finds a use for this and is interested in the source code, let me know and i’ll post some code and details.
[Updated] - added the view source option.

this is cool man!
i’ve been looking for something like that. the fact, that the text is real (selectable) text makes the whole thing even more cooler! would be nice if you share the source code - i’d like to play arround with it …. getting lot of ideas when i see this!
keep on with you new blog!

Jan, sorry for the delay. I’ve had a extremely busy schedule lately.
I’ve added the source for the example.

thanks for adding the view source option, but it doesn’t take me to the source. Will you put a link to the source?
Thanks,
George
