Watch Star Wars Episode IV on your PC for FREE!?!

Okay - this post is for the Star Wars nerd in all of us. (You are a Star Wars nerd - right?) Good...then read on!

Ever wanted to watch Star Wars in ASCII code?
I know sounds strange huh? But apparently in 1997 a man by the name of Simon Jansen (who aparently has too much time on his hands) set out to recreate the entire movie in code. For those of you asking yourself, "What's ASCII Code?" I'll give you a little preview. It looks something like this...



He recently finished his extraordinary task and I must say it is impressive. Er...as impressive as animated digits can be. That being said, if you want to watch the entire movie yourself (and experience a bit of pop-culture that is sure to make the next edition of Trivial Pursuit) follow these simple instructions.

-----------Instructions---------------

1. Go to Start > Run.
2. In the Run box, type "cmd" ( without the quotes ) and hit OK to open the command prompt windows.
3. Within command prompt, type "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl" ( without the quotes ) and hit ENTER.
4. Sit back and watch the show. Oh ya, grab some popcorns also.

** For MAC users, go to Terminal and type "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl" (without the quotes).

Enjoy!
