09 NovemberMichael Crichton... RIP
Mood: Solemn
Michael Crichton passed away several days ago from cancer. It's a sad loss. Interestingly enough he played a tiny part in my life. Many years ago while I was in college I made a small little Macintosh shareware game called "Concentroids from Planet X". Yes, a pretty lame name. It was basically a "memory" game, with customizable tile dimensions. I asked for $5 donations. I think I ended up getting around $300 total from it (not bad if you think about it). One day I received a large somewhat-anonymous yellow package. I opened it up, and it was this book: "Cool", I thought. Then I opened up the book and I saw this: In Michael Crichton's handwriting, he wrote: To Hiep Dam - With best wishes from an admirer of "Concentroids"! I thought that was extremely cool. And I still do. Way better than any kind of monetary compensation. Thank you, Michael. That book is something I will always cherish... Rest in peace.
