MacJournal Halloween Treat

For you MacJournal 4 users out there, you may have noticed something a little different today with the application icon in your dock - yes, that would be an Easter egg...or, better yet, a Halloween egg, that Dan included.

Just making sure you are paying attention. :-)

Happy Halloween.

The Mariner office and Leopard

We've been asked a few times to show some pics of the office here at Mariner
HQ and I finally got around to snapping some photos. Being that we are such a
virtual company, we didn't have anyone in the office at the time but you'll get a
sense of where we work (and play) everyday. The shot of downtown
Minneapolis is out my window this rainy morning (the crane on the right
side of the picture is where the new Twins ball park is being built. Full disclosure,
my photographic skills are limited. :-)

On a more relevant note, we have been getting a ton of emails on whether we
will be Leopard compatible when it is released later this month. The answer is,
absolutely. Being Apple developers we have been testing beta builds internally for
some time but no one really knows what the final product will look like until it
ships on 10/26. Look for a plethora of developers to claim their compaibility on or
slightly after the release. Us included.

The Macworld Readers' Choice Awards

Hey Mariners!
Macworld is having their annual Reader's Choice Awards and are now soliciting nominees.

http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/editors/2007/10/readerschoice07/index.php

If you think one or more of our products are worthy of such a designation, we'd greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word. This year, there are four readers choice awards and our products would fall into two of the categories:

* Third-Party Software of the Year: Any application across the wide array of software categories--audio, video, digital imaging, utilities, games, and more--can be nominated here. (Montage)

* Mac Gem of the Year: As our Mac Gems weblog illustrates every week, great software doesn't necessarily have to come from giant companies; sometimes, the best apps out there appear with little fanfare. We'd like to help those programs get a little more recognition, so let us hear about your favorite under-$50 apps. (MacJournal, Mariner Write, Mariner Calc)

If you would like to nominate any of our products, drop an email to the folks at Macworld with the product name and the category. Here is the email address...

Thanks a ton!
