Two massive flat panel monitors are secured to a desk in their impressive "old-school" bus via a custom fabricated device that Chris designed. Their mobile office and home on the road is reminiscent of Neo from the Matrix's room: a little tight, improvised and full of modified tech which allows them to stay nearly ever-connected to the very Internet which they typically get their lifeblood from. On a particular day in Austin when I stopped by their spot at the Pecan Grove RV Park, as some friends began to wander in from the Texas sun and I squeezed back out to make room for them all, I found myself particularly jealous of their particular find. At $8000, their home is classier than anything our prefab generation could affix to some suburb in Cincinnati, cooler than any teenagers room Hollywood has managed to dream up yet and the lack of a 30-year mortgage—the couple bought the rig outright—allows them to pump your typical homeowner's worth of interest rates into their diesel tank.

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Firefox. I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Many thanks If Microsoft isn't careful, it could scare away developers in droves. But perhaps it won't really matter. As Chris Hecker (who's currently working on SpyParty) pointed out to us, developers will always find a platform to offer their games on. build to order software
