Wordle

I found a fun tool today. It's mostly for amusement purposes, but it does get me thinking about the different ways we can visualize concepts. Wordle takes whatever text you give it (in this case, all the posts from my blog) and creates a word cloud out of the whole thing. It's similar to the tag cloud I keep on the right hand side of the blog, but instead of just looking at my tags, it looks at every word I've written. Interesting to see a non-scientific representation of my thoughts. It almost feels like these are the concepts that most concern me (though they're not a perfect representation).
