Clip2Gifwas a very useful addon to supercard to produce gif files. Calling Clip2Gif with appleScript still works with SC4, OS X and Clip2Gif in classic.

+ 0 - 0 | § Iraq Body Count

I was talking to someone about news reports a while back and I came up with the idea(as I am sure many others have) of any news involving deaths, having a small sidebar showing the stats.
This is not quite what I had in mind as it is onesided, but http://www.iraqbodycount.org/ provide an auto updating civilian death count which can be used on any website. I added one in the more bit. I'd like to see a more comprehensive version of this. Not just for war and conflict, but for disasters etc. this could bring our headlines into some perspective. (Page 1: 3 deaths in London fire vs 500 in chinese mudslide on page 9) (more)

Bruce Martin just posted to the SuperCard mail list that SC could display pdf files as picturedata, good for OS X screenshots. Mark Lucas followed this up by saying SC could display multi page pdfs with the movie command: 'play movie <myPDF> with controller' I can think of a few uses for this, maybe combined with the shell screenshot facility in os X.
