Kaleidosonics



Years ago my good friend Rob Wallace and I were fortunate enough to be allowed to create a truly bizarre little audio- CD with a wacky interactive screen saver application that I wrote. Just a few weeks ago someone sent me an email asking if they could get a copy of the music. How delightful I thought. Over a number of years, with Rob Wallace, we produced a lot of great music, two albums, and computer game music. Last night I tracked down all of the CD's and ripped them so I can put them online.

Since the first email request I got was for Kaleidosonics I'm putting it online first. Here are all of the tracks on the CD in high-quality MP3.

The second track is a piece of music that Rob composed for and dedicated to our wedding.

I had a demo version of Kaleidosonics on the cover disc of a games magazine from '94, and absolutely loved playing around with it as a kid! I remember that I especially loved the track that played during the end credits (last track, "Hip"). Thanks for making these available!

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...
