I was thinking about all the different things I could do with this program… The two that I made already are based on the idea of recapping 2013. The first one was a montage of selfies from Instagram and I had to do it because selfie is the word of the year. The second was all the fun pics from Kindergarten this semester; Fall 2013. Up next could be a Christmas one, or a New Years… Or even a stop action clip. I love creative outlets!!!
Speaking of which, I rediscovered a program I liked. I've used it before and forgot bout it, but it came to mind and I thought I'd give it a whirl again. It's called Wordle.net and its a site that creates 'word clouds.' For example, I could enter the text of the Constitution of the United States, the lyrics of We Didn't Start the Fire or anything else and it will generate a cloud of words. The fun part is that the words are scattered in varying directions, and the size of the word is based on how often it appears in your text. So in the case of the Constitution, the words President, United, States, and Congress are significantly larger than the other words. I think you understand… The point of my telling you about this site is because of a little feature it has that allows me to enter the address of my blog, and VOILA!! all the words I've ever typed in "Great Wall Adventure" appear in a word cloud. I am pretty excited to see how it changes over the next semester and which words become more prominent.
Here is first semester's word cloud….
I'm thinking I might make a posting of just words… I think Great Wall Adventure should appear a little more often don't you think? Haha.. might be cheating.
Until next time.
