June 22nd, 2001 - All this talk of Quake's five-year anniversary
reminded me that this Sunday is Raven Software's eleven-year
anniversary! In 1990, five men and one computer in a basement
started Raven Software with a vision: to create an RPG for the
Amiga. That game was Black Crypt. Eleven years and fourteen
titles later, Raven Software has expanded to more than 50
employees and is working on not one, but three game titles.
Pretty cool stuff...
Congrats to Brian and Steve Raffel and all of the "old timers"
who've been here longer than I have. I'm looking forward to
the next eleven years.
On a personal note, my ten-year high-school class reunion
is this weekend. Big fun, big prizes, big danger... =)
Wish me luck! Have a great weekend, everyone.

May 10th, 2001 - The Elite Force Expansion Pack has been
spotted in stores! The local Software Etc. had one copy
left when we visited at lunch today. Best Buy will likely
have it next week since they get new product on Tuesdays.
If you're interested in ordering the Expansion Pack online,
there's a good deal over at GameStop.
You can also get the original Elite Force and the Expansion
bundled together at GameStop for $39.98.

Friday, December 22nd, 2000 - I posted an article that I
wrote a while back on our www2 server that may be of interest
entitled: How To Get A Job In The Game Development Industry.
If you're bored, you may want to give it a read. If you
know of any websites or insights that are missing, feel
free to drop me a line and let me know.

Wednesday, May 26th, 1999 - A new day has dawned in Kenn's World... Last night, I
asked Michele, the love of my life, to marry me. And she said YES! Thank you, Michele...
You've made me the happiest man in the world! I look forward to spending the rest of
my life with you... You are the most wonderful person I have ever known...
Thanks to Rob "Beroge" Gee for ring shopping with me and special thanks to
Kim "Lee Majors" Lathrop for giving me the final "get in there, son...we need
a base runner" speech. =) Oh...and thanks to 94.1 WJJO for playing "Rainbow In The Dark"
during my drive to "the big moment." I couldn't have done it without all of your help...
Hey Matt! You're next, buddy... In the immortal words of "Nature Boy" Ric Flair....WHOOOOOOOOO!

IN LOVING MEMORY - Kenneth Lee Hoekstra (August 26th, 1937 - April 23rd, 1998)
Sunset and evening star.
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep
Too full for sound and foam.
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar. ...Alfred Tennyson
