Codex Reperio Wordled

// June 20th, 2008 // Art, Music & Poetry

I took about 10,000 words I’d written from this blog and worked it through Wordle to get this funky “word cloud” above, based on frequency of usage. Loving the dadaist juxtaposition.

Then I put the entire text of Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse through and tweaked the formatting a little further to get the result below. My vote for the cover of the 90th anniversary edition.

    Greatest tool ever!

    By the way artyj, do you know of a tool whereby you can input a document and get it to tell you how many unique words you have used?

    Addictive hey. Should thank TED for another link to the future.

    I could only find scripts to find the unique words, or some messy sorting through excel.
