    I am a footnote

    Okay, so I was googling myself, (doesn't that sound dirty?) and found out I was a footnote in a book published in 1996. Isn't that strange?

    It was for a review in did in 1995 of a game called Heretic. Look at # 10 and there I am:

    Cyberfutures
    http://books.google.com/books?id=T6X_8XgjVZwC&pg=PA60&lpg=PA60&dq=%22joe+derouen%22&source=web&ots=YrVjGpkNig&sig=ftR7c8CrErhHm2E-_P4VII_0hAs
    The World Wide Web exploded into public consciousness in 1995, a year which saw the coming of age of the Internet. People are communicating, working, shopping, learning, and entertaining themselves, as well as satisfying carnal desires and even finding God through the simple act of connecting their computers to the wide universe of cyberspace. We are assured, at the same time, that this progress will have profound effects on work, culture, leisure—everything, including the ways in which we interact with each other. Yet just what these effects will be, how power will be distributed, and what recourse will be available to those adversely affected by the new technologies, are issues that have yet to be negotiated. Aside from the occasional panic over cyber-porn, few have considered the wide-ranging effects of our increasing reliance on interactive technologies. Cyberfutures offers a close examination of issues that will become increasingly important as computers, networks, and technologies occupy crucial roles in our everyday lives. Comprised of essays from a range of occupational and disciplinary perspectives, including those of Vivian Sobchack and Arturo Escobar, this volume makes essential reading for students in cultural and media studies, anthropology, as well as for citizens interested in considering the larger implications of the Information Superhighway.

                          I too am a footnote -- in the online book 'Secret History of Star Wars', an in-depth examination of the origins of SW at The Secret History of Star Wars (you have to download the book to read it). I'm named as the originator of the theory (long since proved time and time again) that Darth Vader and Luke's father were originally two different people, in every draft of SW right through the second draft of Empire Strikes Back. But I digress. The point is, I too am a footnote!
