When was the last time you rasterbated?

I know the term "rasterbate" sounds funny, but it is a really cool activity that some people may enjoy. Basically what you do is take any picture you have saved to your computer, upload it to the rasterbator program, and it breaks the picture down into dots on individual pieces of paper that collectively make one big picture of your original image.

Here is an example of a rasterbation I did...

As you can see, the final collective image is made up of 12 pieces of 8x10 paper, which makes a nice sized picture that can be put on a wall (You can see my foot in the bottom of the picture which will give you an idea of how big the picture is). You can select I think up to 100 pages and as little as 2. You can change the quality of the picture by making the size of the dots smaller(It is an option in the program). The smaller the size of the dot's, the better quality of the picture. There are two versions of the program. One that is web based, and one that you can download to your pc. I recommend the one you download to your pc because you can make the dots smaller than on the web based version. The program is very easy to use and is very user friendly, and the whole process takes no more than five minutes. The best part about it... IT"S FREE! The only thing you have to pay for is printing the paper. I recommend saving the images to like a memory stick and taking them to a Kinko's or any printing shop. You can have the pictures printed on regular paper, glossy paper, or whatever other kind of paper you are willing to pay for. You can mount just the paper on the wall but for better results people put the paper on thin foam and then mount that to the wall. Since it is around Christmas maybe someone will want to take advantage of this and make one of these for someone as a gift.

The program can be found at...

There is a tutorial, FAQ, a forum on how to mount the pictures on a wall, as well as a collection of other rasterbations. Here are a few that I like...

Ok that's all for now... thank you for visiting and stay tuned...
