If you’re on a Mac and love Magic: The Gathering, you can use this Dashboard widget to view the card of the day from the Wizards site. Seeing as everyone’s copy of Dashcode has expired now, I doubt I’ll spend any more time on it. It’s basically just an Ajax request from Prototype and a regex to find the image.
I sometimes wonder if Dashcode will morph into some hybrid iPhone IDE by the time Leopard comes out, if Apple still haven’t relented and allowed developers access to the gadget’s native innards. It was a fairly nice piece of software while it lasted, anyway.
Update: having said I wasn’t going to spend any more time on it, Wizards have changed their HTML, so I’ve updated the regex. This should now work again.
13/09/2008: Wizards have changed the Magic site again, so I’ve uploaded a new file.
