Back around Christmas, Ray Camden ran a fun Friday Challenge involving the 12 days of Christmas. He followed up with an idea later in the day of using his Yahoo API to create an image representation of the song.
I thought the idea was super cool, and had been meaning to create something similar using this technique. Enter Word Art - a fun, yet altogether useless implementation of the Yahoo Image Search API which takes a string that you enter and does a random inage search for each letter in the string - creating a cool collage of images which represents that string. There is no groundbreaking super cool code behind this (in fact I'm not even going to attach the code unless someone wants it) - just something fun to waste time that I whipped up last night. Enjoy.
