The heart and soul of the Mac world is the large community of small software developers that make some of the best software on the Mac platform. I’ve had my favorites over the years. Watson, by Dan Wood, was one of the favorites (it helped me get my job at ESPN.com) and Dan is one of the good developers in the Mac software world.

Watson was run out of business more or less by Apple, and for the first time that I remember, Dan has put the story up on their company blog. The story is especially relevant because the rumors about iWeb make is seem like Apple is about to railroad Dan’s new product, Sandvox. It’s a good read, especially if you want to get into the Mac software business.
