I'll Never Be Lost For Words

I discovered Taxedo yesterday. Oh my word - literally - it's amazing. So, in order to gain the true gloriousness of this website, you do have to download the APP (.exe), but it's so worth it.

Plug in your twitter handle or blog RSS feed, or anything else - you can even upload a word doc - and it will generate this fucking awesome text art. You can choose the colours and layouts and fonts. OK, so you might have sensed the art nerd in me is a bit overly excited - it's because she totally is! The BEST part is that it allows you to save the file in a high resolution format - meaning you can make it into a poster, art print, t-shirt, etc. That, to me, separates it from just another Twitter gimmick to something extremely cool with real functional value.

The very fact that the word SEX is NOT in this has shaken me to my core; I must be slipping.

What this has told me about myself?
I'm a dirty-mouthed, often monosyllabic, intensely emotional person that also laughs a lot and is extremely fucking polite. 
Who knew?!

REVISED
I uploaded my own words; it's much more fitting - don't you think?

    Brilliant waste of time, indeed. I spent a minute or two on it. Ah-hem.

    @Lost.In.Idaho
    There's actually a valid, perfectly innocent reasoning behind the woodchuck word. I'll tell ya someday. LOL

  9. Do you have to plug in each word and it randomly places it in the art? It looks really cool!

  13. It's a wordle. All the kids are doing them these days. One of my daughter's school clubs did it for the 8th graders this year. Her biggest words were "leader" and "kind." She's my favorite, don't tell the other kids...

  16. What? No Cunt Dragon? Unless I missed it. I have no patience with "Where's Frikkin' Waldo?" so I may have failed to see it.
    Tell you what, though. Your "Clean Meter" rating is going to go batshit.

  23. Very cool. The 2nd one may be more "you" but it doesn't have the flow and harmony that the 1st one does.

    Yeah that's right. I picked up some big words in art school.
