do something boring

Now for Dashboard, an Oblique Strategies widget, featuring the aphorisms from the micro-famous card deck by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt.  OK, design geeks:  the clock is ticking.  Just how long will it take for someone to convert Bruce Mau’s Incomplete Manifesto for Growth into an attractively beveled and opaque widget?  On second thought, forget Bruce Mau, how about a tastefully animated bright red slideshow of Chairman Mao’s quotations?  One of those oughta get the creative juices flowing when you hit a dry patch.
