Hey, wanna have some fun - part mindless, part meaningful? Check out wordle. A wordle is a decorative word tag that is built on whatever text you may supply. It randomly creates a tag cloud, but allows you the opportunity to change into a wonderful variety of fonts and color schemes, including a pallette that allows you to design your own color scheme. I just made this one from the Sermon on the Mount (NIV, if you MUST know). Click on the image for a much better look.
Since I had the text from their wedding ceremonies, I made a unique Wordle for all three of my kids, and some of the others brides and grooms I’ve done weddings for. Printed on a good printer, it makes a nice (cheap) and completely unique gift. (Here’s the one from Carrie and Kyle’s ceremony:)
In order to save it, I use ScreenHunter, a great free tool for taking a picture of whatever’s on your screen.
The deep, spiritual side of me likes the way the words can be uniquely rearranged based on the number of uses in the text. Gives me something to meditate on. The ADD side of me gives me something to do when I should be taking out the trash, grading papers, or something more, uh, useful. Enjoy!
