Download of The Day-II: Oblique Dashboard Widget

The Oblique Widget is a Dashboard widget implementation of the “Oblique Strategies” card decks from Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt.

The Oblique Strategies cards are used when you need a creative push. Or when you just can’t think of a way to move forward. You simply pick a card at random and the advice (or whatever) should help you out or lead you to another thought. The widget works in much the same way; you simply click it to see the “card.”

"It features the complete sets of the Original (1975), the Second (1978) and Third (1979) Editions, as well as the elusive, commercially not-available Fourth set (1996) by Brian Eno and Peter Norton. Selection of the Editions is user-controllable via a preferences panel. The timing for the Auto-Flipback feature is accessible via the preferences panel as well."

I love this one, it reminds me of my senior and co-editor VJ.
