Content Independence: Happy Fourth of July
Yes, another content-free blog post here. But we've got festivities going on here in the good ol' U. S. of A., and that means legal pyromania here in the state of Utah. It even rained today, which means that we may buck a trend and NOT set the mountains on fire this year.

In gaming-related news, the Carnival of Games for July is up - this time hosted by "Mr. Monkey Island" himself, Ron Gilbert. Here's a chance to read the best blogs of the month of June! And also one of mine, too, which was only considered for inclusion because I submitted it.

Incidentally, I had the chance to talk with Ron Gilbert and the Cavedog guys - as well as many others - quite a bit back in '99 (was it '99?) at a GT Interactive "Tech Summit" conference in Las Vegas. It was a great bunch of really smart people belonging to the same publisher sharing their projects, techniques, and contact information in hopes of bringing about a brave, new world of cooperation and sharing.

Shortly thereafter, most of the studios were shut down and the people at this tech summit were out of a job. Well, out of a job at Infogrammes (now Atari), anyway. Ah, well. It was a cool little conference. And all of the Cavedog guys were extremely cool to talk to and hang with.

But I digress. Check out the July Carnival of Gamers!
