Know that we still love you.

On Monday evening our dear friend Steven Solomon was killed instantly in a tragic car accident. His fiance Stephanie was driving immediately behind him in another car. There is absolutely nothing to say about such a sad and tragic event.

My wife and I are doing whatever we can to help Steven's entire family; including Stephanie, Marty, Patty, and his brothers and sisters during this difficult period.

I loved Steven very much and the Solomon children feel like a part of our own extended family.

Tomorrow is the visitation and the funeral is on Friday. I realized one of my greatest fears when I received the phone call from my crying wife sharing this terrible news and I was thousands of miles away unable to comfort her.

Our thoughts, prayers, and love go out to Steven's family. I know his soul lives on, and I believe this deeply.

Only just Saturday night I spent hours on my boat talking to Steven and Stephanie. Ever since I joined the Freemasons Steven has been fascinated by the organization and always asked me lots questions about it. He was the kind of young man that organization strives to find. Steven was a beautiful, loving, and giving person and was a great light in my life. I miss him terribly. It is going to be a long weekend, and a much longer time for our friends.

Planetside Screenshots

I realize that this post is going to cause some Web-Wiplash, but I think that is ok. For years I have held onto some old Planetside screenshots that I wanted to post online some day. After scouring an old hard drive yesterday these are the ones I came up with. Still, I know I am missing many of the screenshots I really wanted to keep. Especially ones from when the game was very early in development. I designed the entire client side game engine myself and I had a lot of fun during the development process. One of my regrets is that, in many respects, the final game did not look nearly as visually impressive as it did at certain points during development. There were a number of reasons for this. One was from a technology stand point. Most developers of an MMO game engine might assume it would be reasonable to stream data in as a player moved around the environment. That was certainly my original design. However, once the game got into heavy beta testing there was a strong push to get eve...

Just now who's crazy?

Just a follow-up to yesterday's post about Dr. Steven Greer and his paranoid fantasies. One of Greer's most popular paranoid fantasies is that there is a secret cabal, comprising members of government, industry, and religious leaders, who suffer from eschatological delusions and are co-ordinating a massive world-wide effort to bring about the 'end-times'. Sound's pretty nuts doesn't it? I think so to. I don't buy into paranoid conspiracy theories because they are based, not on evidence but, rather, the *lack* of evidence. Dr. Greer's theories include the idea that 9-11 was actually executed by this secret cabal and that a missile, not an airplane, struck the Pentagon (I guess I should go tell the families of those poor folks who were on the plane that hit the Pentagon about that..) In fact, I find these kinds of bizarre paranoid conspiracy theories dangerous, destructive, and borderline treasonous. The Internet may be a powerful tool to spread truth...
