After reading about this on CultureGET I had to share it. ASCIImeo takes any video on Vimeo and transforms it into coloured letters and numbers, blocks or monochrome characters to replicate the authentic ASCII experience. For example, check out Nick Van Vugt‘s Mystery Cat video brought back to 1985. Any Vimeo video will work; you only need to copy and paste the video ID number from the vimeo url (http://vimeo.com/[video #]) to ASCIImeo (http://asciimeo.com/[video #]).
Embedding isn’t supported yet (darn!) but it’s still in beta, so we’ll see where creator Peter Nitsch takes ASCIImeo.
