It was on this date, in 1941, that Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt issued the fateful Atlantic Charter.

That’s nice, but really I just needed a “hook” to show off Toogle, this awesome ASCII art generator I just found. You may have seen programs that will convert a picture into ASCII characters, but Toogle siphons the power of Google image search to turn a word into an ASCII picture, composed of the word you entered!

Just for instance, here’s what it does with the word Churchill. And here’s Roosevelt. Okay, wrong guy. Try FDR.

I’m thinking this could be a loophole for white-collar workers, who are not allowed to view risqué pictures at their desks. “Henderson, didn’t I warn you about viewing nude yoga pictures on company time!?” “Not to worry, Ms. Killjoy, there’s only text on this page, see?” Iron-clad defense.

And don’t forget to try your own name, too. Then, copy the artwork and paste it as a signature on all your e-mails. Your friends will love getting little notes from you, with a huge picture of you at the bottom of every one. “What an ASCII!” they’ll exclaim.
