 <title>Geekerific ASCII Curtains</title>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://geekinetic.com/files/ImageUploads/500_ascii-curtain-1.jpg&quot; title=&quot;ASCII Curtains 1&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;330&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ASCII art is still around, though not as popular is it was back in the day.  I grew up with the early incarnations of DOS, so ASCII was in its prime back when I was a kid.  Had we the Internet been around then, I think ASCII art would have become more mainstream.  Still, there is a resurgent following, which is evidenced in creations like these ASCII curtains.  From a distance the image looks like a shadow of a large tree.  As you approach, the characters reveal themselves; pretty clever.  I would so get myself a set of ASCII curtains if they were available.  They are just the thing for my home office.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://geekinetic.com/files/ImageUploads/500_ascii-curtain-2.jpg&quot; title=&quot;ASCII Curtain 2&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;370&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The man behind these delightful curtains is Dutch artist and designer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nsybrandy.nl/html/ZTmV07Gordijnen.html&quot;&gt;Nieke Sybrandy&lt;/a&gt;, I have to say it is a bang up job.  These curtains smack of genius from top to bottom.  They are geeky yet classy and that is what we like to see.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is no price on the curtains as they are not yet in production, we will keep our eyes peeled for developments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
