Arbitrary object input

[PrzemyslawKlys]

I thought I would be having some nice output if I would use

function Get-ComputerDisk {
    param(
        $ComputerName = $Env:COMPUTERNAME
    )
    $Data2 = Get-WmiObject win32_DiskDrive -ComputerName $ComputerName | Select Index, Model, Caption, SerialNumber, Description, MediaType, FirmwareRevision, Partitions, @{Expression = {$_.Size / 1Gb -as [int]}; Label = "Total Size(GB)"}, PNPDeviceID
    return $Data2
}

as my data for words. I suspected it may not work :-)

get-clipboard | New-WordCloud -Path wordcloud.png -FontFamily Georgia

I kept waiting for minutes and it didn't do anything :-) What I actually wanted is to create some nice output for blogs pictures, especially for featured photo. It takes a lot of effort to create a good blog post and it's even harder to maintain quality photos for Featured Photos so that it doesn't look like complete trash.

Pipe in random streams of objects at get usable output for the word cloud.

I think the most pragmatic solution would be to simply take whatever the console would render and attempt to make that work by sending it through Out-String to get the string representation. In fact, you can do that already, but it would be nice if this just handled it.
