ATLA reader "TheBestChickEver" noted we're a bit shy recommending something called The Rasterbator, so she gave us this alternative with an example of her own DIY wall treatment, shown above.
Reader's DIY Tiled Wall Poster
It's now a room with a view, complete with window panes and window treatment. She commented: "If the word Rasterbator make you blush, just use BlockPosters. It worked great for the mural in my bedroom."
And if she bores of that view, she can just print out herself a new one!

Is this different or better than printing using the tiling option?

Blockposters renders a printable PDF. Most people opt to remove the white border from the printout, but I left it because I liked the window pane effect.
That's Central Park near where I used to live in NYC. My little bit of New York in LA!

I have rasterbated before. I should post it in my blog!

Raster means "a data structure representing a generally rectangular grid of pixels, or points of color, viewable via a monitor, paper, or other display medium" for example a .jpg, .bmp, etc... just means that if you were to enlarge it, you'd end up with a bunch of oversized pixels, unlike a vector graphic which would enlarge without a problem. Rasterbator enlarges and makes huge "round pixels (which I know is a very contradicting term, but it's exactly what it does)" to make a smaller raster image a bigger raster image. Since it doesn't let you upload vectors, I think the name is kind of wrong, BUT it has nothing to make anyone blush about, except the very gutter-minded ones. SHAME ON YOU WHO FELT SHY! BUNCH OF MASTURBATORS!

Haha, I feel like I walked into one of those street preacher's sermons.

correct me if iam wrong, whatever i have heard about rasterbator is that it enables you to create large rasterized posters from your digital images, using a regular size printer. Unlike other programs that try to produce a high quality enlargement, this program creates images made up of visible dots (rasterized), which are designed to appear smooth from a distance (but may not look as great from up-close). This technique allows you to create very large posters, even from lower resolution images. The Rasterbator supports standard paper sizes, as well as custom dimension, and you can adjust the size of the dots to accommodate the desired poster size. The program can create monochrome or multicolor posters and save them as multi-page PDF file, which you can then print and assemble with glue and scissors.

There are a lot of sites out there showing book video. BookVideoTV, BookTelevision and of course CSPAN, but I like how BN.com and Reader's Entertainment TV have specific genre channels and original shows. There's just more to see and I can be specific in what genre I'm interested in. Anyone else watch online tv?
