Product Description:

Wordsmith.org runs a mailing list called A.Word.A.Day. It's a great service and I've been a subscriber for a number of years. However, I can never retain the vocab word I get each day. I get a new e-mail in the morning, look at the word, think to myself "Oh, that's an interesting word. I should try and remember that one", and then off I go to start my day. So I hit upon an idea based on those "Word A Day" desk calendars: what if I wrote an app that displayed the current word of the day on my screen so that anytime I wasn't doing anything, I'd see the word. After several days of work, AWAD Desktop was created.

With everyone making a bazillion Widgets for OS X 10.4, I'd LOVE to see this app be a widget. I'd probably actually see it every day then (opening App's have become such a hassle, what with the finding it and then the double clicking). lol

I'm a longtime AWAD fan, and this is neat! it would be nice to able to re-size it though, (I'm thinking a long thin strip that could sit at the top of my window...) and perhaps have it possible to always sit above everything else. great stuff, thanks!
