We hate it when our friends become successful.

My crazy friend Jason Rohrer, about whom I have written and told many stories (testicle dipping, roulette cheating, UFO watching, natural meadow cultivating, etc), is in the December issue of Esquire magazine, one of their 28 geniuses of 2008. The article is here: http://www.esquire.com/features/best-and-brightest-2008/future-of-video-game-design-1208.
You should probably first play Jason's five-minute art/video game Passage.

I'm not surprised because Jason's smart and naturally curious; but more than that, he is a man who executes, and follows through on his ideas. I remember once thinking if I just followed him around, I'd have great stories for life.

Brian Hurley, I think you're next.

Andy, your encouragement comes just in time for my new venture: a cannon that launches newborn baby birds about three miles into the sky. The hot friction of the high altitudes will burn away all the afterbirth, and the incredible G force will fill up their wings quicker. We'll teach those birds to fly in no time! Just think of the benefits!
