Techie Fun: Wordle

My son sent me and other family members a link to Wordle, a program created by Jonathan Feinberg, that turns text into "word clouds." I took the text for my postings in June and created a Wordle. Here is the link: A Wordle of June's postings

Update:
And here is the link to Benton's Wordle of Samuel Butler's translation of The Iliad of Homer.

Nice! It's quite obvious from looking at the "word cloud" what's been on your mind the most, lately: water. What I want to know is, where does "Horton" come in? It's quite prominent, yet I don't remember reading about any Hortons in your recent blogs.

OK, so just for fun I searched for "Horton" in your posts, and you mention him exactly 6 times across 2 posts. You mention "water" 25 times. Just in case you were curious. :-)

Hmmm.....Have you actually been reading my blogs? ;>)

Scott Horton is a lawyer who blogs for Harper's magazine online. I've referred to some of his recent postings!
