Congratulations, Damn it.
30 Apr 2009The winners of the Linden Prize were announced today. I’m very happy for the people at Studio Wikitecture and Virtual Ability. I know some of the hardworking and tremendously creative people in both of these groups–they richly deserve this award and need the cash infusion.
