Puzzle Solved August 13, 2008

So the wordle post (below) was a bit of a success, but as I mentioned in the opening line the idea was not mine. The week prior I was surfing Dawg blogs as usual and came across another Dawg fan’s site that introduced me to Wordle. I made a mental note (or so I thought) to do some Wordles on my blog, but link to the genius that started the idea.

I’m apparently older than I feel because for the life of me I could not find the original Dawg blog to h/t. It has been driving me nuts! I cannot stand people who steal creative ideas from others. Its so easy to do on the internet & I see it more & more all the time. Most of you know I have a friend with a hugely successful Dawg blog who’s been dealing with some asshat that’s trying to rip off his blog. So, I’m determined now more than ever to give credit where credit is due.

Dave Akins stopped by and left a comment on my blog yesterday solving the puzzle of who started my wordle addiction. Check out Dave’s wordles - they’re better than mine and the first one is pretty funny. Also he’s a Dawg fan and that’s reason enough to add him to your list of blogs to check out.

Thank you to Dave for giving me back my sanity and letting me finally h/t you!

Dave just wordled some of Larry Munson’s most famous calls and they are amazing. Considering this may be Larry’s last year, that’s a really cool way to honor him. And I’m sure Larry would agree.

 

Wordle Me This August 9, 2008

I stumbled across this idea on a random Georgia blog the other day and thought it was so cool. The only problem…I can’t remember which blog to give credit :-( So if y’all know whose blog I’m ripping, please tell me so I can give them a h/t.

Anyways, on with the show! I’m a little addicted to wordle right now. If you haven’t wordled then you’re missing out. Or you’re just not as bored as I am at the moment. Either way, you’ll love it.

In case you’re curious, wordle is this creative way to word cloud anything. You can create your own or browse other user’s wordles.

I just wordled some lyrics and its your job to figure out the song titles. Click the thumbnail to enlarge the image. So, leave your answers in the comments section and have fun!

Filed under: Amuse Me, That's So Random — Ally @ 12:10 pm

I came across this relatively new blog last week, Stuff White People Like, and can’t stop lurking. Sometimes I don’t know whether to laugh or be offended.

My favs so far are:

#2 Hating their parents
#50 Irony
#62 Knowing what’s best for poor people
#67 Standing still at concerts
