Day 64: Presidential Word Cloud

Yes, another Wordle. You try to make something new every single day of the year. This one is using the words in President Obama's first inaugural speech. 

Just for kicks, I tried doing a Sarah Palin speech (specifically, her keynote address to the National Tea Party Convention, or whatever those nuts decided to call their little Self-Congratulatory Celebration of Narrow-Minded, Hypocritical, Short-Sighted, Selfish, Unapologetic, Uninformed Bigots), but it kept crashing Wordle. I feel your pain, Wordle. It's okay for you to give up your job when it starts getting tough.

Day 57: A Wordle Conceived in Liberty

I felt like making a Wordle from a famous speech, so I picked Lincoln's Gettysburg address.
For some reason, I'm fascinated by this Wordle thing. I love seeing which words occur most often. I also love hitting the 'random' button over and over again until a layout looks right. 

In fact, I liked it so much, I just now went back and made another Wordle, this time from Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech. I thought it was appropriate to put the two together.
