Word cloud for the 2014 Events

Post by otti » Sun Jun 22, 2014 2:24 pm

I created a word cloud to visualize the event descriptions for the 2014 Burn. It uses the API to get the event descriptions, then I feed those words into a magic machine and out comes.... this!

I'm thinking that a few words should be bigger, like "Dust", and "Asshats". Heck, I can't even find these terms on the grid yet they make up 85% of the event. Where is "Undercover", and "Vehicle Search"? And then, seriously, "Open Love" is larger than "Fire"? Not in my camp it isn't !!!!! this magical machine of yours that spit this out....hippie manufactured?

Nice! Though your word cloud's already out of date :) (the calendar will stay open and continue to get submissions through the start of the event). For posterity's sake, what are your data snapshot dates?

I generated it on Sunday. I can update it often however because I use the API. Here is the code, and I will post an updated image shortly as well:

I believe what you're referring to is called "the stranger", not really what I'm after here.

So far I have filled a 7.1 Cu Ft Freezer with bacon tamales. Just about out of space - way low on the expected count tho... :(

Anyone wants to make some, I'll share the taste-tested recipe!!!
