Word cloud creator

This may be old news, but it's a first for me. You know those word clouds that are all the rage nowadays? Well, I came across a do-it-yourself word cloud utility. I generally view word clouds as...damn, can't think of the word, "giving an appearance of depth and insightfulness while in reality offering nothing of the sort" (not "pseudointellectual," it's more concise and carries more meaning than that). Argh, it's on the tip of my tongue!

Anyway, the point is I don't set much store by word clouds, but they can make for interesting art.

Edit: Guess who! (click for big)
