[spectre] google as an ascii art tool

[Amy Alexander]

right, it's not literally a rework of ascii art, but a different yet
related animal -  with some significant ideas in common: instead of  
representing images through text (ascii), the google-art people represent
images through process (the use of google groups and its search
capability.) instead of "misusing"  text, now they "misuse" google.
