Johnny's Software Saloon

Weblog where I discuss things that really interest me. Things like Java software development, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Macintosh software, Cocoa, Eclipse IDE, OOP, content management, XML technologies, CSS and XSLT document styling, artificial intelligence, standard document formats, and cool non-computing technologies.

I like writing software, listening to music (mostly country and rock but a little of everything), walking around outside, reading (when I have the time), relaxing in front of my TV watching my TiVo, playing with my cat, and riding around in my hybrid gas/electric car.

Bill Budge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just learned that Bill Budge works at Sony Computer Entertainment now, as their lead tools programmer.

Bill Budge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
He joined Sony Computer Entertainment in 2004 as Lead Tools Programmer.


He was one of the most amazing game programmers of the 1980s.

He made the Apple II and Macintosh incredible gaming machines long before the IBM PC and its later clones caught on.

His knack was for turning an ordinary computer into a supercharged arcade game. Also, he brought object-oriented drag-and-drop construction sets to the world of game programming for ordinary users.

I am really curious what games or web sites or whatever his tools have been used to create.
