I came across this blog recently. The author has managed to generate equations of words:

Basically it generates equations which when plotted will generate the word that someone has typed.Unfortunately there is no way to verify it. The equation is by default in image format. On checking the "Raw Text" check-box, one can get the actual equation in text format that can be copy-pasted. Unfortunately I could not copy-paste it to some plotter to plot it directly. Maybe I will try it out in Matlab someday and post the results here.
Here are some other articles that caught my attention in that blog:
The computer simulation article was like straight out of Matrix trilogy. I have thought about this a lot, and its kind of weird. The mind says its impossible, but logically this could be a possibility. In 2001 Prof. Nick Bostrom published a paper with same title. You could read the paper and look into the website that the Prof has created.

- Be a self-teacher
- Swapping + and - signs
- Are you living inside a computer simulation?
- Experience with computer programming

Thanks to Idrish for pointing out the "raw text" feature in Google Buzz ... http://www.google.com/buzz/bigyan.techie/2cVh9FNYzfT/My-new-blog-post-http-naygib-blogspot-com-2010-03
