The Oblique Strategies are a creativity tool designed by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt. Originally published as a deck of cards, they are intended to provide an extra creative push when working on artistic pursuits under a tight deadline. When experiencing artist’s block, simply draw a card and apply its instructions to the work in progress.

Free download for Palm PDAs. I had a set on my Tungsten C and just installed it on the Treo 650 and it works great. The original deck of cards was used in the recording of David Bowie’s Low and Heroes albums and on many Brian Eno recordings. Very useful.
