The seventh would pay $7. The eighth would pay $12. The … [Read more...]

Site of the Week: Wordle.net

I was looking at a post on Twitter and saw a reference to Wordle and thought, "what the heck is that?" So I did a quick Google. I can't see any usefulness to this but it's pretty interesting none the less. Here are two Wordles I made from my RSS feed here. Number 1: Number 2: Like I said... pretty interesting and neat.
