Welcome to our web site - an eclectic collection
of products we design (educational software games, audiobooks, and a unique journal you'll find nowhere
else) PLUS items that our staff LOVES, including our little dog Scooter (dog tents, dog clothes), AND some links to affiliates that we admire. So
if we seem diverse in our selection, you're right, we ARE. We love to promote our friends' products and items we know
you'll be most satisfied in purchasing. Our Best to You, Billie
Billie Kelpin Pagliolo Olmon-
Under that frizzy hair is the somewhat scattered brain of a former teacher of the deaf, sign language interpreter,
software content editor, inventor, and writer. Born and raised in Milwaukee, WI, Billie is the president
and owner of Windmill Works. The products published by Windmill Works are concepts initiatly conceived
by our staff. The most recent computer game, IQ Solitaire is an extension of the card game
"Presidential Solitaire" that was developed Windmill Works in 1990. The software games geared to the deaf and hard of hearing population were developed from work in
the classroom with students of all ages. The trivia
games were an expansion of the educational programs to the mainstream market. In addition to learning games, Billie has, most recently, written and published "Live,
From Mlwaukee, It's Tuesday Night," a collection of essays recorded as a downloadable audiobook housed at podiobooks.com. This
collection is free to download to your computer or IPOD.
We're glad you came to visit and would love to hear from
you! Just email billie@windmillworks.com
Michael Olmon: "Technical" and "Support" could not describe Mike better.
With more than 25 years of software design experience, Mike brings quality programming to each Windmill Works' software program
and conscientious technical support to our valued customers. With keen attention to detail, Mike is able
to troubleshoot software quirks in a flash and is decicated to providing customer satisfaction with every Windmill Works
program. (Check out the testimonials regarding technical support.) When he's not consulting in the industry,
programming Windmill Works software, or sailing around the bay at Newport Beach, you can hear Mike slamming pool balls
into corner pockets at his favorite billiard haunts in Orange County. But if you hear Mike talk, you'll know right away
that his roots originated farther north in Minnesota, "doncha know."
