Today is the seventh(?!) anniversary of Michael Abrash's departure from id Software. If you are curious about what the programmer and author (his Ramblings in Realtime can be read online here) is up to lately, he is currently writing libraries at RAD Game Tools where he has worked on creating Bink for the PlayStation 2 and a new version of the Miles Sound System, and he will be conducting a session this week at the Game Developers Conference on "Optimizing Pixomatic For Modern Processors."
