The epitome of old-school sweetness

Thanks to Lifehacker, my day is complete.

I could explain it and ruin the surprise for you all, or I could just urge you to dust off and fire up your Telnet client and connect to towel.blinkenlights.nl.

It's probably best to do this when you have some time to spare, and let it run while you eat a sandwich or something. Enjoy!









(I tried, but I just can't let you go without clues, so here they are: ASCII animation & Star Wars. Need I say more?)

The sad thing is that there's no sound to it. I really wish I had a SW cd... or that they added music in the old-school beeps.

If you're on Vista, you'll have to install a telnet client to view this. Vista does not have a telnet client installed by default. Try AbsoluteTelnet for a good telnet/ssh client with a tabbed interface (for Windows). See my sig for more info.
