Welcome to Dan Zen

Dan Zen is a site of games, gadgets, communities and tools. It was created in 1995 and has gone through five major redesigns to hold over sixty original Web features. The current interface is the Dan Zen Deck of Creations which can be found here: http://www.danzen.com. In 2002 Dan Zen was awarded the Canadian New Media Awards Programmer of the Year.

In this Blog, I discuss the features and stories behind them along with creativity and design aspects.

We are just launching a game designed for site creators and Bloggers, called WannaGet. The blog for this game is at http://wannaget.blogspot.com and there is access to the game in the links section of this blog.

I am a full time inventor but, as a pleasant distraction, I have a day job as a Professor at Sheridan in Oakville and have been for several years. I developed the Curriculum for the Interactive Multimedia program at http://imm.sheridanc.on.ca and teach the Web Authoring and Multimedia Pioneering courses. If you like the kinds of features that we build on Dan Zen and are considering some schooling - then please take a close look at our program which has been very successful. An online tour is provided on the site as well as press releases, testimonials, etc. I get to invent even for the teaching environment so it is not that much a distraction.

I do also interact with the physical world in many ways and we will see if this aspect enters the blogs as well...
