Marvelous Word Clouds

Just wanted to post a link to http://www.wordle.net/, which uses a Java applet to generate marvelous word clouds, either made from text you enter on the site, or text it imports from a blog you direct it to. To the right, you'll see the word cloud it generated when it crawled our site. In other news, we are huge nerds.

I also tried it with some of my old papers from college. Here's the cloud Wordle generated for my paper, "Beauty is Truth: Modern and Medieval Notions of Historicity in The Lord of the Rings."

    Wow, that's kinda cool. Nice way to summarize the blog thus far.

    Maybe we can get the words "headlock" and "God" present in the future.
