Google ASCII Art
=v= Somebody figured out how to parlay Google's search term color highlighting into multi-colored ASCII art (not viewable on all browsers). They post some seemingly incomprehensible art to a Usenet newsgroup (like this), but when you follow their instructions and search for it at Google Groups, you see a full-color illustration (like this). A total hack, and I mean that in a good way.
There's now an online gallery devoted to this new artform, but at present it's very difficult to reach because it's been slashdotted. Slashdot has pointers to a few early creations, though.
(Via Slashdot, unsurprisingly.)
