RJ MICAL


Those who deny the importance of computer games
deny the very reason that the worldwide web exists.
(My basic opinion has always been: If we do it right for games, it will be right for everything else.
Consider this: ecommerce first came into existence because of games.
Also graphics and audio cards in our computers, and next:
ML NLU that's good enough for games.
When the ML NLU is good enough for games, it's good enough for everyone else.)

A History of Inventions

RJ Mical, at age 14, invented a tic-tac-toe game computer made of relays, flashlight bulbs and D batteries. It's a funny story; ask him sometime.
RJ's professional career started with arcade development at Williams Electronics and led to his role in the creation of the Amiga Computer.  He was co-inventor of the Atari Lynx handheld game system and the 3DO entertainment console, and he was responsible for software engineering at Red Jade for Ericsson.  Most recently RJ has been Chief Architect for the Fathammer mobile game engine, Anti-Spam Hero for BarracudaNetworks, VP of Technology for GlobalVR, and he worked on top-secret technology for Sony.  He has developed more than 15 video games, has 11 patents, designed 4 hardware platforms, architected 3 operating systems, has too many hobbies and is one swell guy!

Things We Can Learn From A Dog
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face
to be pure ecstasy.
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
Take naps and always stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by
and nuzzle them gently.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you are happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
No matter how often you are criticized, don't buy into the
guilt thing and pout. Run right back and make friends.
