    From a few years ago: I wrote a script to take apart movies frame by frame and convert them to ASCII. And then play that ASCII text back by printing and scrolling really fast in Terminal. I made this cheesy video with it : http://stewdio.org/myfirsttime

    Then of course a month or two later Apple publishes a QuickTime script that converts movies to ASCII on the fly. Bastards. And now YouTube ;) But still . . . I did it in a Terminal text window. That's hardcore! (Attempting to comfort myself here after realizing how irrelevant my "inventions" really are.)
