Homer in CSS
There is the David. There is the Mona Lisa. And then, the artist has to create the Homer.
Román Cortés did just that with his Homer in CSS and Ned Batchelder shows it via animation.
Thank god for fun fridays.

“No TV and no beer make Homer something something…” ;)
Try this bookmarklet on http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200805/css_homer_animated.html :
javascript:void (document.getElementsByTagName(’head’)[0].appendChild(document.createElement(’style’)).textContent=’script+div * { opacity: 0.8}’)
Dugg! — er, voted!
That must have taken a good day or so to make … great work!
The guy has a windows EXE that will convert a black and white bitmap image to text + CSS…
I wonder if someone could make a vector graphic version, to translate SVG tags or canvas calls to the same. It could probably work better than VML.
OMG, homer CSS is the new Acid Test for browser ;)
Great work !
