Alice from Wonderland has recently mentioned a new piece of software by Microsoft called Boku. I have tried looking all the obvious places but can find very few references to it anywhere.
Boku’s programming model is extremely simple as it does not use a textual language or wiring diagrams. Kids use simple behavior cards to enable a small virtual robot to navigate its world and achieve specific tasks.
One of the developers on the project has a blog on Live Spaces so you can read a little more about the project there - but the information is very limited. There is also a small amount of extra info on Wired.com, along with some screenshots.
I think the idea of this system is great and would love to see if grow into something much bigger. If anybody knows any more information about Boku I'd love to hear it.
Rocket Boards is a super fast 3D rocket boarding action. My first "commercial" (shareware) product. Didn't do amazingly well but was a good learning experience
Bubble Bomb is a polished update of a game originally built by Warren Marshal (who works at Epic games - developers of Unreal and Gears of War)
My own update of Bubble Bomb, Bubble Blitz was almost a total rewrite adding loads of new features and a shiny new look.
Seths Puzzle Boxes is a puzzle game with a surprisingly enjoyable story line, unfortunately it's quite short so won't take long to complete, but while it lasts is great fun.

If you haven't seen it yet on10.net has a 5+ minute video showing Boku at Techfest. There's a demo and some discussion with the developer. It's interesting.
I've pulled together what little info I've been able to find at my site. You're certainly welcome to stop by.
