My CV, as a Wordle tag cloud
Posted by Roo - 18/06/08 at 03:06:48 pmInspired by Ian I’ve just dumped my CV into Wordle (which I bookmarked last week but forgot to write about. It’s great). Lots of options for fiddling with and it’s really easy to make something gorgeous.
Update: compare and contrast (inspired by Andy) the tags on my del.icio.us account
I’ve wanted a beautiful tag cloud generator service for ages. Thanks Jonathan.

What I'm doing
Shared a link: I'm returning to Southampton today.
Seat 61D on the V0024 from LAX to LHR. Goodbye LA. I won't miss you.
Back from a final few hours out in LA. Now waiting in the hotel for a shuttle bus to take me to the airport. Can't wait to be home.

Uploading yesterday's photos of Long Beach and Compton. Think I'll try to see some more sights today before the flight home this evening.
Some sort of bicycle race happening. It's noisy outside.
I chickened out of the Rickroll, but I did sing 'California Dreaming'.
At a karaoke bar in Little Tokyo. @davidorban is rocking the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I'm thinking of Rickrolling the place.

You’re welcome.

This is really cool! I think tag clouds can be works of art, I’m really looking forward to playing with this. Thanks for the link…

Reminds me of http://stateoftheunion.onetwothree.net/
It’d be nice to see that with this visualisation.

Your wish is my command. Here’s the State of the Union Address from 2008 and the one from 2007.

Best Wordle tag cloud ever? ‘The Complete Works of Shakespeare‘
Comment by Roo — June 25, 2008 #
I would agree, but I’m somewhat suspicious about whether Shakespeare really used the word”ELECTRONIC” as much as the wordle tag cloud seems to suggest.
I knew he was ahead of his time, but even so….
Comment by kyb — June 25, 2008 #
Good point. ‘ELECTRONIC’ is all caps too, as are ‘DISTRIBUTED’ and ‘COPIES’. Hmm. Regular footer text?
