About

An interesting Digg post pointed out a Mac OS X screensaver based on the Digg Labs tools.

I didn't see one posted for Windows, other than an Active Desktop integration. So, I decided to try writing one. The program was written in VB.Net with .Net Framework 2.0

This program was created for my personal use, but I am sharing it to anyone interested. This program is presented 'as-is' and should be treated as beta quality software. Don't spam my inbox if your computer freaks out.
