I just found a tool for creating your own tag cloud called wordle. You can submit any text, or a URL that you choose and it will create a nice java tag cloud for you. A good way of visualising what you are focusing on at any given time.
Here's mine, nice to see cake featuring so prominently - that's about right.
Update: you can embed your worldle once you have saved it, here's mine below
How strange. I was looking at another site recently that did exactly the same thing. www.tagcrowd.com. Worth a look - it swallowed a 27,000 phrase list as if it were, er, something reasonably easy to swallow. And it has that classic tag cloud look.
