    It’s called the Storitel Beat Machine and it’s a new spin on an old idea about randomizing ideas. I’m not sure how useful it is, but as far as the implementation this thing ROCKS!  CLICK HERE to check it out.

    UPDATE (March 30, 2009) — Looks like the Storitel Beat Machine has been taken down.  I saw something about “legal action” being threatened!  I’d love to find out what happened, and if I do I’ll do another update.  Stay tuned…

    The downloadable version of Contour is now the FOURTH most popular item at The Writer’s Store, and the second most popular software behind Final Draft (who?).  

    I’d like to thank everyone who stopped buying brass fasteners and are now using the downloadable version of Contour to bind their script pages together.
