Image Dithering
      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The other day sloum posted an interesting image to gemlog.blue.[1]
It was very unexpected and striking. I had seen similar images of
sloum's around various places on the non-web, but this one really
piqued my interest. I had played with sloum's lo-fi image dithering
tool [2] before, and I vaguely remembered another program of
his, called tdiv [3], which allowed viewing images in a terminal
by converting them to braille characters. It's a very simple, yet
effective tool.

I spent a little time playing around with tdiv, and quickly
became absorbed by it. I found that it works especially well with
line drawings or graphics with high contrast. I'm going to play
around with it a little more to see what I can make it do. So far
it has yielded one fine addition to my sparse gallery here, and a
sweet header for my gemini capsule [4]. It's proving to be an
effective way to procrastinate on my paper =]
