It is, in essence, an online archive of designers, educators, entrepreneurs, executives, investors, programmers, and others who have shaped — and continue to shape — the technology scene in Austin, Texas.

Computer gaming pioneer Richard Garriott once again finds himself in the nexus of the electronic entertainment industry.

Richard’s Ultima series of RPGs became one of the top-selling computer game series of all time.
