Now, on to phase two. Here's my vision. We need to break the buck up into 3-dimensional cross sections. Then, each of us will generate ASCII images of the duck at that point. Then, we'll have our wizards here compress the cross-sections into code and animate them. In the end, we should have an ASCII equivalent of Quicktime VR. This would go a long way toward helping people accept Ruby. And making the world a better place. And having more duck images. I think we have our first CodeFest. _why
