Amazing things can be started with Windows

The winners of the Start Something Amazing Awards 2005 have just been announced by Microsoft. The awards go to people who have achieved “something amazing” using Microsoft Windows and related technology.

Among the “amazing things” started this year are, a tool for tracking drag car racing performance. A nonprofit to tackle the problem of food insecurity. A Web site to promote awareness of cochlear implants for the deaf. A sketch comedy TV show. And a music production and engineering studio, all on a computer.

“These are highlights from the five winning projects in the Start Something Amazing Awards – a Microsoft-sponsored nationwide program honoring people who use Microsoft Windows and related technology in simple yet powerful ways to pursue the things that they are passionate about. The awards were given in five categories: Culture and Community, Music, Memories, Home and Lifestyle, and Sports and Games.”
