Discovery is the side project of Vampire Weekend's keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij and Ra Ra Riot's lead singer Wes Miles. Listen to this cool new band here for a bit of synthy electro pop. The album artwork (above) is so awesome!
Have you heard of the website Wordle? It's a cool little toy on the web that creates "word clouds" for you based on any text you provide. Words that occur more frequently in the source text are created larger in the word cloud. You can personalise each cloud using a bunch of different text, colour and layout options. The site also let's you print and save your own designs. I typed in the address for this blog and made the cool cloud below (you can click the picture for a larger view).
Stuck for ideas?! What about finding out what your CV look like as a cloud. Print it on a T-shirt and boom you could wear your CV to your next interview. Who knows, a little humor during the recession might land you that job. If you've already got a job how about using the last few emails you sent to your boss? That cloud could be pretty insightful. Or even better send your next email to your boss as a Wordle. Endless fun right?! Well at least a good 30 minutes worth. So hurry up and start making your own clouds!
