The big words aren't surprising. Semester, pages, teacher, REL.... But when you consider that this was arranged by a computer program, I'm not so sure I like the proximity of "need" and "date."

Word Clouds
Having recently learned about wordle.net (Thanks S!), I thought I'd put together a word cloud of the main page (before this post was written, so it includes the 7 entries prior to this, excluding all text not part of the body of the post). A word cloud throws all of the most commonly mentioned words together and makes the most frequently mentioned words largest. Common words like articles and pronouns are omitted. I started to do it out of curiosity, but I think it's much more useful than that. For instance, it shows how often my writing sucks. I know it's a problem (and I even cringe a little when using them), but "really" and "just" show up far too big in the word cloud. While I don't make any great attempts to have superb writing on this blog, it's still disturbing that they show up that frequently.

Haha! That thing is so cool! Love it!
Ha - that need and date caught my eye in the first glance-over. But I also like that dangerous shows up as a decent size.
That's right, I throw in the word dangerous to make my posts seem more exciting. I live life on the edge; what more can I say?
