That's cool that you actually bothered to put an animated sprite in there =). If you want to do something like that more efficiently, though, you can encode at least 6 1-bit pixels per character in a string using the ord() function, you just have to stay in the range between characters 35 and 126 if you don't want a 2-char-per-symbol count on Twitter.

Using ord() hadn't occurred to me at all -- thanks for the tip! I will definitely keep that in mind for future tweet jams :D
(I might also refactor this entry, but I've spent the last three days obsessing over character counts, so a break would be nice :p)
