Painter tries to write...


There is this neat feature called "Word Clouds" over at www.wordle.net. I found out about this "word toy" through this great blog called the www.theteachingpalette.com on-line. It's an invaluable resource for teachers, especially those in the arts!
I decided to see what the word cloud would do if I fed it my personal statement I've been laboring over for a Graduate school application. It gives emphasis to more frequent words in the text you supply it. My arty brain definitely wishes it could just submit this image instead of a statement.
