For a couple of years now I have devoted all my attention to Sparkle; the websites, screencasts, and e-book described below are all ancient history by internet standards.

Having said that, Vim will never go out of date and you should definitely buy my screencasts (Part 1 and Part 2)!

Sparkle — the easiest sample tracking in Fashion PR

With customers from Beverly Hills to Berlin, and London to Manhattan, Sparkle is delighting Fashion PRs around the world.

I love the simplicity. Sparkle is so much better than our previous system. Thanos Kotsanitis, Merchandising Manager, Brower Lewis PR

I don’t want to tell people about Sparkle because it is a competitive advantage for us! Mike Langhammer, Owner, Fake PR (Berlin)
