John Carmack's Blog

John Carmack the co-owner, technical director of id software has always had a "Finger" Service that you could use to see what he and other id software team members where up to. But early this year John Carmack started a blog.

As with the Finger its never updated as often as some would like but its always very long posts and can be a interesting input towards the real technology that they can and can't use due to lack of support or issues. Eirther way very interesting to anyone who happens to enjoy programming, rendering and games or Aerospace, physics and rocket engines...

This is because he is also the team leader of Armadillo Aerospace. Expect to see John Carmack throttling
a rocket engine with a joystick... Thrustmaster?

Armadillo Aerospace is a team involved with the "X Prize" (www.xprizefoundation.com). Which is all about making Space travel a relealistic part of life:
"
On October 4th, 2004, the X PRIZE captured world headlines when Mojave Aerospace led by Burt Rutan and Paul Allen built and flew the world’s first private spacecraft to the edge of space to win the $10 million ANSARI X PRIZE."
