Apology Tag Cloud

Apology Cloud

My mate, Myles Eftos, recently blogged about this great little app, Wordle, which creates a ‘tag cloud’ based on text that you can upload.

He suggested a meme using your blog content to create a tag cloud, however rather than my own content, I used the text of Kevin Rudd’s brave Apology to the Australian Indigenous Peoples speech, delivered on 13 February 2008, to create the above.

See the larger version over at Flickr.

What tag cloud can you create using famous or important texts?

Living on the edge of the web

Edge of the Web

This really should be filed under a new category ‘Oh golly, I can’t believe I didn’t blog about that!‘ but anyhow…

It was announced at BarCamp2.0, a month ago, that the WA Chapter of the Australian Web Industry Association is putting on a conference on our side of the country. Edge of the Web (EOTW for those in the know) will feature technical and business streams, and more details will soon be announced on the Edge of the Web website.

The speaker line-up is looking impressive so far, and the venue is fantastic! Circle November 6 and 7 in your calendar now and I’ll leave the rest to the official announcements, coming soon… :)
