Word Clouds and Some Self Congratulations

Hey, what do you know! That last post of mine was my 100th post! Yay me!

When I realized this, I felt a pang of regret because I didn’t do anything special to commemorate the occasion. Then I realized that my hundredth post actually represented some of my most important opinions! Like:

  • The Internet is awesome.
  • The Internet is paving the way for the Robot Revolution.
  • People should read more good books.
  • I like steak.
  • Bitches should be able to regulate their font usage.

Hooray. And because I was linked there by Tropophilia, I’ve got to share this neato nifty program called Wordle takes big blocks of text and turns the most frequently used words into “word clouds.” Like Taylor, I couldn’t resist plugging in my senior honors thesis, a collection of poems I wrote called Maps and Legends. Kind of pretty, isn’t it?

I was bummed at first that the biggest word I used was “into,” with words like “over” and “through” coming in close after that, but then again, my thesis “investigated the tensions between interiors and exteriors,” so it’s kind of appropriate, yeah? Go try it and report back!

You sure used the word “white” a lot. Are you racist?

Also, I see the words “bed” and “chest” and “touch” and “flesh”.

Comment by Megan

I don’t know if racism is what it is. Note the fact “white”, “blue”, “gray”, “red” are fairly prominent, while a color like “pink” is, well, put in the corner. Cromaticism? Primaryism? Whatever it is, Rachel is not fond of lower order colors, which is convenient since I was going to get her a traditional box of Crayolas for a present.

I like that you used those very sexy prepositions (hint: Dr. Ingram and John Donne’s “My America” or some similar sexy poem).

Comment by Anna Jones

I admit: I’m all about the primary colors. Eff pink, seriously.

And the fleshy bits could also be described by a poem about a HEART MURMUR, MEGAN!
