About
I was lead designer of the Magic Screensaver, After Dark, 86 different After Dark animated displays, the Inner Space screensaver game and a version of the Pointcast screensaver. In Silicon Valley, I am known as 'Mr. Screensaver' but it's not commonly known elsewhere. We did not adapt After Dark to work on Windows. Rather, the Mac After Dark was adapted to follow our successful design. At one point, my screensavers ran on virtually every computer as both the most purchased and most pirated software at the time. It was enough to have that much positive impact without everyone knowing my name. There are two versions of the greatest compliment my work has received. I have received thousands of hand-written fan letters and emails over the years along the lines of: "I love my screensaver. Thank you for making the only thing on my computer that I don't hate." The other great compliment was from Steve Wozniak a few years ago. He told me he had always been a huge fan of my work and was honored that he finally got to meet me. I was flabbergasted by that one.
