words I use


Everything's meta today. Even today knows that.

In the interest of giving my blog a more postmodern feel, I've made some word clouds of words I use on this blog. The most frequently used words show up biggest. Seems I could've found another word for "umbrella". "Parasol", perhaps?

If you want to make your own word clouds, you can here. I had a lot of fun on this site. Wordle.net lets you insert huge amounts of text or just enter a url to create and customize a word cloud. You can also check out other people's creations, like this one that shows the top 75 words from Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities". Looks like literary geniuses use "said" just as often as the rest of us.
