Someone has posted directions over on Instructables on how to build you own Internet. Check out this bit from The IT Crowd if you’re not already laughing.

I’m a book lover. I love the smell of books. E-books just don’t have the same smell. Until now.
Yesterday’s post about TagCrowd showed you how to create a simple word cloud. Today’s service, Wordle, gets you basically the same results but in a much more visually pleasing way. As with TagCrowd, give Wordle some text or a URL, or, in this case, a Delicious username and get back a customizable word cloud. Here’s three versions from Wordle based on the same text I used yesterday.
Give TagCrowd a URL, upload a file, or paste in some text and get a tag cloud of that content in just seconds along with HTML to paste it into your site. Here’s the results of this morning’s NCompass Blog home page.

Let’s just say I’ve been a tad preoccupied at work this week, hence the lack of a post yesterday, or probably for the rest of this week. In the mean time, have a little fun checking out Greg Rutter’s Definitive List of The 99 Things You Should Have Already Experienced On The Internet Unless You’re a Loser or Old or Something.
