So I was channel surfing this morning, can't remember which show but they mentioned something called "word cloud" and showed a pic of one. I was instantly interested and grabbed the old computer and googled it.
Back story, I'd seen many of these kinds of things but never heard the name or been able to find anyone who knew how they were made.
Google had several youtube videos on the subject and after watching a couple I learned that it was easy (well not for me. I had to watch the videos MANY times, gave up, used my iPad to pull them up so I could figure things out step by step with the computer right beside). I was in luck because I have Microsoft Word and PowerPoint programs which I use quite often. This was great!!!
Starting and stopping the video helped me to upload the necessary program to get started with my word cloud and above is my first finished one. I am so proud of this old dog who learned a new trick.
What's your old dog/new trick story? I love to hear from you.

Way to go to figure it all out. That's great.
This old dog learned to make chords and strum the ukulele - true, I am still working on it, but I can play several songs already.
Good for you! Not something I have attempted (yet) but have been intrigued by the word clouds I see on some of the blogs.
