Buying software from select Mac developers on December 7th, 2006 will do more than just add another icon to your Applications folder. It'll make the holidays a little nicer for sick kids in children's hospitals all over the world by providing them with toys, games and other seasonably charitable goodness.A group of independent Mac developers are donating all of the proceeds from their sales of select applications on December 7 to Child's Play is a Seattle-based charity started in 2003 by the guys at Penny Arcade, the
There are some really great titles, too, so if you were considering treating yourself to some cool software, Dec 7 (tomorrow, for most of us) is the day to do it. Heck, you could even continue the spirit of giving by buying an app or two as a gift for someone else. Software Stocking Stuffers anyone?
The complete list of participating Developers and their participating apps are listed on Ironcoder. Highlights include iRooster, Billable, Freeze Frame, VoodooPad, HoudahSpot, LifeBoat, iDictionary and more!
This is a great effort for a great cause and I applaud the participating developers for their efforts.

Penny Arcade isn't a gaming company, it's a gaming-oriented webcomic.

Thanks, Samuel. I am not a gamer and I only glanced at their site. At first glance it looked like a game software site, not a game-related comic strip site. You'd think they'd put the comics on the home page! I'll make the correction.

@ moksha - because Delicious Library wasn't on the list when this post was written. There are a few others that have been added to the list since yesterday afternoon. I can't predict the future :) I'm glad more developers joined in, though.
@ Aaron - you're welcome!
