Looking back through some of my starred Google Reader feeds, I came across a link to a interesting service called Wordle.
It will take a list of text from a source (say a blog or rss feed) and then create a piece of typographic art that lists the most common words. You can then edit some of the settings like fonts, colors, and layout and have the page redraw the piece to your choosing.
What does your blog or site look like in a Wordle?
Well, it seems I’ve neglected this blog with all the things that have been going on recently. Amazing how one can get too busy to keep up one’s journal. I’ll try to do a quick recap and then finish off with something spectacular.
I’m still going to the Life Drawing class and my pictures have begun to improve. We are in the final weeks and recently I’ve been fooling around with graphite pencils. With them I’ve been able to get finer details and play around with linear shading. I have taken pictures of the pieces, but honestly they were from the past few weeks and I’m too lazy, so I probably won’t post them.
Last Friday, my team from work visited Google Headquarters. It was my second trip to the idyllic location, and the experience was great. Recaps from my co-workers can be found here and here.
Right after arriving back home from the Californian pilgrimage, Jessica and I headed off to Las Vegas for just over a day. We stayed at Treasure Island (now known as just ‘ti’) and caught another Cirque Du Soleil show. I finally was able to see the original “Cirque in Vegas” show, Mystere. I honestly found it to be one of the weaker shows of the few I’ve seen. Awesome giant inflatable snail though.
And to conclude, what sparked my desire to post was the image that I came across to the left. Quite amazing isn’t it? I can’t believe there really is a Corn Dog Air Freshener. I can’t imagine what other great stuff is available from Archie McPhee’s. Oh wait, yes I can.
