Trust

I think graphic design is interesting, though unlike our fantastic designers here at Government Executive, I have no talent for it whatsoever. I also am interested in language analysis, so I think Wordle, a web application that creates word clouds that shows how often certain words are used in certain publications, is a fascinating tool for revealing hidden priorities. I created a Wordle cloud of the entries I'd written so far this month, and discovered that after "government" (no real surprise there), "trust" was the word I've used most. Make of that what you will, but in this time of transition, it seems appropriate.
