Thanks for pointing that out for me. I went ahead and made the change. Elonka *might* be the smartest person I know, but she's definitely the smartest woman I know. :) I have had the distinct pleasure of working with some true geniuses, even though I am still hoping that some of it will rub off on me someday. I'll be in touch with you about the MMO track for this year. I have some ideas for which I think you might be a perfect fit. Doh! Thanks for pointing that out for me.

I sunk a lot of myself, my livelihood, and personal finances into the game, so I had to be passionate. It certainly wasn't my intention to stomp over everyone else, though. Anyway, I would love to make it back to Dragon*Con sometime. My problem is that the approval panel hasn't accepted my guest application the past few years. Last year they agreed to let me come to speak on the EFF panel, but wouldn't give me a guest of guest badge for my better half. 2009 was a terrible year for me finding work, so I didn't even apply. Drop me a line, and if you can get me approved as a guest I'd love to come along again sometime. :) One last thing: Elonka is possibly the smartest <i>person</i> I know personally. No need to qualify it by pointing out she's female. :) The game industry is full of really bright people, and she stands head and shoulders above the rest. Have fun! Actually, it’s Near Death Studios. :)
