Put the `Acxel` directory in your Sublime Text `Packages` directory (`Sublime Text` -> `Preferences` -> `Browse Packages...`). Select some text in Sublime Text (possibly text with some aesthetic qualities). Right-click and "Acxel"-ify.

This will copy some JavaScript to your clipboard. Paste the JavaScript into your browser's Console window.

Annnnd presto! The pixelized version of your selection added to the bottom of the page. Like Magic.

You can right click on the image to save it. These images have been enlarged 4 times, so you don't have to squint. Here's what the code for the plugin looks like, in case you were wondering.

## Why?
For making pixel art while it looks like you're working.
## v2?
Colours. Instant PNGs (no pasting to a browser). Stay glued to [http://www.mrspeaker.net/](http://www.mrspeaker.net/) or [@mrspeaker](http://www.twitter.com/mrspeaker) for updates.
