If you are a geek who tends to see everything in code, then this fun website is for you. ASCIImeo is an online mashup that displays all Vimeo videos in Ascii form. The website basically takes a video uploaded from Vimeo and converts the pixels to text format. Thus, instead of the high-resolution images that Vimeo is known for, what you will see are characters in different colors that form the images in the video.
