Happy New Year!

Midnight is approaching us fast here in Seattle, and for some of our customers and friends in other parts of the world, it's already happened.

2006 has been a great year for us -- we launched our first two products, SlingShot and LifeBoat. We gave away a bunch of money to worthy causes, in keeping with our goal of giving away 6% of our profits to charities, including $1350 in one day.

What will 2007 bring? For us, we're hoping for more of the same. I'm hoping to bring out some updates to our existing apps, plus we have an idea for a cool new app (they say the third time is a charm :)

Here's to hoping all of you have a wonderful, happy, and healthy 2007.

Childs Play Day

As you might know, as part of starting our little Martian venture we made a commitment to donating part of our profits each year to charity. We've been extremely lucky in life, and we like to give back.

So I'm happy to say that we're going to be participating in a "Child's Play Day" tomorrow, December 7. A number of Mac Indie developers will be joining together and donating all our sales for the day to the Child's Play charity, which tries to make the holidays a little nicer for sick children. We will be donating all the proceeds from tomorrow's (Dec. 7th) sales of SlingShot and LifeBoat.
