Even though Raster Blaster was only a video game, I was learning about designing stuff. I got good at drawing.

After two weeks of working on a project, you know whether it will work or not.

I started on an Apple II, which I had bought at the very end of 1978 for half of my annual income. I made $4,500 a year, and I spent half of it on the computer.

To be honest, I look at my Pinball program and feel that it is old stuff. I could do much better.

You will be able to program a robot to follow a track on the ground and manipulate a hand. You can also write little programs that will give the robots goals.

The power of the computer is starting to spread.

On the robot kit, I can choose very boring parts or I can choose exciting and interesting parts. That is a reflection of my personality and the kinds of things I am interested in.

Life is short, I have no time for drama.

Everybody gets what they want out of the market.

I read so ravenously that I would read through whole categories. I was crazy about reading biographies. [...] I think biographies are very urgent to children.

We are but the instruments or assistants, by whom God works.

Slice him where you like, a hellhound is always a hellhound.
