My Entire Blog, Vaporized (or Condensed)

Wordle is a nifty tool I saw used over on the NPR All Songs Considered Blog. Feed it some text, and it makes "word clouds" with the words scaled according to their frequency of use. They can be quite pretty, and also interesting to analyze. Here's what my blog looks like:


(Note: This excludes common English words, meaning "I" doesn't show up. It would be enormous.)

SHUT UP!!! Shut the eff up!!!

The weirdest episode of psychic powers EVER just happened to me.

My office mates and I were wordling because we learned about it in a VSL a few weeks ago, and I was like, "Oooh, you can do webpages. I'm going to do my blog. No, wait, I'm going to do Nick's blog because it will be more interesting." So I went to your blog to make sure I had the URL correct, and the newest entry is the Le Suerg word cloud. I froke out.

I can't decide if this strange, subconscious connection our brains appear to have is cool or creepy.

Hoozygat.
