The game for people with no time to play games. Turn your desktop into a full fledged battlefield! Your icons become the terrain providing cover from fire and your placement and icon type determine other capabilities. Various types of small soldier and vehicle units navigate around your cluttered desktop in a slow paced battle that you can sit back and watch or take a more active part in.

-Vs. self with 2 armies fighting for control of your Desktop.
-Capture the Base with your hard drive being the goal for one army.
-Vs. your friends over the LAN or Internet
-Dual Monitor battles
-Use motion sensing in laptops to cause earthquakes or other events to “shake things up”.
-Use voice recognition to issue commands and orders.
-”Spaces” like switching to view network battles

This is just a quick rundown of a few basic ideas for this. I really think the sky is the limit on what you could do with it. The ultimate procrastination tool!

Talk about it at My Dream App

So I have noticed that quite a few diggs were rolling in over at phills new little project called My Dream App. I think the idea is great, and should produce some quality products.

So I thought that I would enlighten the world onto what I think would be a dreamy app. It’s not so much of an application as a time waster. Actually more like something to giggle and watch while your wasting time.

This is what it would do. You have your screen sitting there all pretty while you surf the net, work on your website, or write your next college essay. Things get pretty boring in the background. Why not have a little ants rummaging around on your screen while you work? They could crawl across your web browser, dig little holes in your windows, start little ant piles in corners, carry pieces of your window they chewed off back to the ant hole. The possibilities are endless! This would be a hoot to sit back and watch the little critters crawl around randomly doing random things while you work. It would have to be subtle, and not to many ants. Maybe you could throw in some red and black ant fights like you made when you were a kid.

So this is my great app idea. It’s really not feasible from what I understand, but it would be sweet you gotta admit.

This is where I, Andrew Wilson, plan on making millions of dollars from google ads and will rant and rave about technology, macs, pet peeves and all sorts of related goodness. Check out the About page for details on me. Thanks for reading.
