Tell us how you REALLY feel...



I recently stumbled upon a great little website called Wordle. What a great invention! Beyond just being fun, this smart little tool gives us a whole new way to appreciate and understand words and information.
For example, the above image is the "word cloud" of the text contained in this blog. The way Wordle works is that it takes the most common words in a given selection of text (i.e., the text in this blog) and enlarges the size and relvance of each based on its frequency of use. So, in the event you were unaware of what I've been harping about on this blog, here it is in clean bold text with a fantastic graphic design: design modern architecture!
This will be a good tool to revisit as this blog grows to see what common themes arise and how it may change over time. Stay tuned!
