A Picture of 54,000 Words

I followed a link to a pretty fun site yesterday. It's called Wordle, and lets you take any text, or URL, or feed from any site and make a random word picture from the text that you give it. Very fun, actually!

I did a couple more images. First, when I just took the text and pasted it in, the biggest word was "just". Ha! Guess I just say that a lot... ;-) So, here's the JUST version. And, I took the "Life With God" posts and made this image from that.

I also discovered that I have written approximately 54,800 words in the year 2008. (That's to my GregsHead.net blog alone, does not include all my other sites!) I have ... a lot to say.

Anyone can do it... with any text. Jen made some with the names of our family. :-) Go try it out for yourself...

Great Words!

I have noticed lately that I use a lot of words that are not really words. Including quite often on this blog! I noticed that a commercial I saw also used one of these psuedo english words. They are words formed from the incorrect pronunciation of two or more words. I figured it might be fun to compile a list of the ones I like the best, and use most frequently. Feel free to add to the list in the comments :-)

• gonna (going to)
  
• lemme (let me)
  
• musta (must have)
  
• wanna (want to)
  
• imunna (I'm going to)

I'll add some more as I remember them... :-)

I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means...

One more quick post...

I've been doing laundry tonight, in between blog posts (and reading other blogs/sites). Our dryer has three settings for the automatic drying cycles. There is Less Dry, More Dry, and Optimum Dry. Now, unless I am not remembering the correct definition for the word "optimum"... when would you ever not choose "Optimum Dry"?
