Art + Scrabble

I've seen a lot of Tag Clouds on the web. They are a short visual summary of the contents of page, where font size, color, etc are used to convey things like importance.

I thought it might be interesting after creating a list of bingos I played in our recent Scrabble tournament. I won the top division and won the prize for most bingos, 30 in 14 games. I looked at the study sheet I made here:

30 Bingo Study Sheet

and thought about combining the idea with tag clouds.

I created a handful of study pages here, in that style. "Anagram Clouds"

Reno, incredible scrabble game

There's photos in the article I posted on the recent Reno WGPO scrabble tournament. Checkout the game with 8 bingos out of 9 turns by Jerry Lerman.

Randomness in Art

An interesting discussion about 'random art'. My favorite was the 4 9x9 panels of random colors - can you spot the fake?

Tiling #4



Looks more like bricks if the edges are roughed up.

Tiling #3


It looks kind of stupid if the dominoes aren't connected. That's better.
