I can give a ~25 minute talk on how I used the Python Image Library to
rip the Unicode glyphs to create wall-sized ascii-art (well,
Unicode-art) images. It'd be geeky fun and cover the basics of PIL. This
can optionally include ~10 minutes on what Unicode is, how it works, why
you're a bad person for not knowing it, and a bit on Unicode in Python.

I'd need to borrow a laptop with 1G of RAM, ~100M of disk, and either
GIMP or Photoshop installed (big images crash little editors). I
wouldn't need Internet access.

I got one or two nibbles in #chipy when I mentioned this, does it sound
interesting to folks?
