Discovering Dashcode

I was waiting for the dryer to finish so I could go to bed. I figured it didn't have enough time left on it to bother starting my FireEagle work, and/or continue screwing with BrightKite::Auth. So I said, 'I need a widget for CPAN, I wonder what dashcode is like'. About 10 minutes later, half of that messing with trying to figure out how to place an image, I've got a widget that opens a new tab in my browser with the search results for something on CPAN. It looks like crap, and doens't display search results inline, which would be nice. It just opens a new window.

Holy crap that was easy, I love dashcode, I want more. I'm going to start trying to think of other dashboard widgets I need and see how hard they are to put together. This should be fun.
