Grayscale Ascii From Bitmap

Omer blogs about creating color ascii art from bitmap images - very cool!

Since it is a Friday evening and I have nothing better to do, I decided to create a grayscale version (no font color tags) of the image by slightly modifying his code.

I used the following grayscale ramp

string blackRamp = "M#E8Oo+i=I;:~.` ";

and ended up with this html page.

If you have a better grayscale ramp, preferably 256 chars, please drop me a note. Thanks!
