Behold, my Omphalos as digested arithmetically (with some aesthetic treatments) by Jonathan Feinberg’s text cloud application over at wordle.net<\/a>. Makes for a rather elegant visual poem, no? The wordle engine accepts site URLs, RSS feeds, or giant gobs of text. The latter is what I fed it after copying the source of my ATOM feed and removing all the links, html, and other xml cruft using NoteTab<\/a>. Hat tip to Jamais Cascio over at Open the Future<\/a> for sharing the coolness.<\/p>\n

The application provides some control over the appearance of the cloud. You can configure how many words appear (I chose 200). There are also settings for the orientation of the words (vertical\/horizontal), palette, and font choice.<\/p>\n

Some comments. It doesn’t appear as if the wordle engine is context sensitive to words that appear in close proximity to each other; place names like Bond Hill and Baton Rouge are thus not recognized as such. It would also be nice if common words such as “like” and “also” could be filtered out or relegated to the background as glue for more significant nouns like “heierophant” and “cosmogonic”.<\/p>\n

Still, looking into the world cloud as a mirror of my writing over the last three years or so is interesting. All those music related terms are surely the result of importing all the posts I made over at mog.com in 2006 and 2007. Should I be as surprised as I am that this blog is so “Jewish”? Probably not.<\/p>\n

Joe Lamantia has written more about text clouds here<\/a>. (A tag cloud with all the tags and catgories of articles posted at the Omphalos appears on the right sidebar.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
