Worgan means Writers Organizer and was the first shareware program I wrote. The concepts I developed in that led to me creating YourOtherMind and Visual Desk. While Worgan was very useful I knew I could [...]

I’m a huge fan of the Wii. As a device that includes the entire family in my gaming, its fantastic. I’ll blog more on it, and go into some detailed analysis of why this console is the most exciting one for me this console generation later.
