Feliiiiiiz Navidad... en SANTO DOMINGO!
Just a reminder, Jared the Butcher of Songs is still ready to torture and aggravate your friends and family this holiday season. Jared is available for both Windows and Macintosh, as well as for weddings, birthdays and Bar Mitzvahs. Make sure to read Jared’s liner notes as well.

I just want to say that Jared is the best computer program ever. When, oh when is Jared coming to Mac OS X? If I could program I would do it myself . . . . .

That's the strangest thing. A few months ago I downloaded Jared for OS X and played with it for a while. You could leave him in the dock or let him float on your desktop, change his translucency, and even switch between jaggy OS 9 style and souped-up OS X style. But now it doesn't seem to exist anywhere. I checked Freeverse, VersionTracker... I know I didn't just imagine this.

Dude, do you still have it? Information wants to be free!

I didn't keep it, no, but look what a Google search turned up! (direct download link)

A classic. I also heard rumors that Jared was doing a CD? I can't find it now; and I know I didn't just imagine this. :-) Oh well — long live Freeverse!

Not sure about the CD... The idea was probably shelved when Jared-demand dropped.

I'm fixing my own Flash version of Jared, just to keep the tradition alive.
