Splendid timewaster for wordy geeks

You've possibly already seen this, but Sir Finvarr's blog (in his modern guise as an academic) was my introduction to Wordles, a toy for creating word clouds based on selected text.

Here's Finvarr's post about his wordles, based on his books about Charny's questions - I love the one about the jousts and tournaments.

Here's one my sweetie made earlier - the Magna Carta.

Here's one featured on the blog: the US Constitution  

I did a couple based on Robert's texts, and they look very cool, but you can't save them privately, only print them, or post them publicly.

I do wonder how young some of those kids are, and what other tools they have access to.
