A beautiful dmesg! Maybe one day?

Hello.
For you all meticulous cats out there, here's how I hope that
FreeBSD's dmesg one day can look like. This is merely a beautification
that would make more people go "wow, cool" and it doesn't deprive
FreeBSD of its UNIX heritage.
Perhaps someone out there can help me implement these changes?
I have a lot more suggestions for ASCII redesigns, so let me know!
