Processing
I wrote this the other day using Processing, it started out as a quick way to visualise bigram distributions, but then it became a method for extended procrastination. The current version will display letter-pair frequencies of whatever you type into it, and draw lines connecting words as you type them. If you hold down the mouse button on the applet, the red line is letter frequencies, and the blue line is letter-pair frequencies.
Some fun words to try are "punctuation", "sophisticated", and typing in your name can be pretty fun, as well.
Here is the source code, though bear in mind this was a really quick and dirty little project.
