On: Why Vanguard Sets a Bad Precedent for MMOGs

"c) the stream of new games locks people in to Sony, you are effectively already paying for vanguard and as long as you keep that pass your old EQ1 character stays live in case you want to drop in and play again."

On: Thank God Java EE Is Not Like Ajax

I believe both Java and AJAX are the wrong path to take. The web was designed for hypertext documents. It was not designed to run apps. Instead of kludging the web to run apps we need to create a new system that is designed to run Internet applications. I believe a simpler straightforward solution to this problem is the way to go. I have begun work on such a system which I call NewI\O (http://www.newio.org).
