Wordle
November 6th, 2008
I was surfing around on the internet as I occasionally do and I found this pretty cool site called Wordle. I had to give it a try. You can paste in any text you would like, enter the url to a blog that has an RSS feed and you can even type in someone's delicious account name and use their tags. You can edit the color scheme and even the layout of the final result. Here are a few examples.
The first one was created when I entered my blog's url.
For this next one I typed in TUAW's url.
It sure is amazing what you can find on the internet. Check Wordle.net out here.
⌘ (apple commands for you non-geeks)

The are many commands you can use on your Mac. A few examples are ⌘O or open, ⌘W or close window and ⌘Q or quit. There are many more but these are just a few of the most common commands.
An artist by the name of Christopher David Ryan has taken these commands to a new level. Chris is a graphic artist based out of Brooklyn, New York. He has a single-man design studio called Atmostheory. He also has a personal site that can be found here.
Chris takes the commands of an Mac and uses them in his work. ⌘W and ⌘O respectively mean close and open and can be viewed in the first picture. The second picture uses ⌘C and ⌘N which mean copy and new.
He has taken basic commands and created inspirational art from them. It is amazing what some artists can do. There is one more print beside these two pictured here. You can find them all at My Little Underground.
It is amazing what you can do with an ⌘O mind.
