One part that’s not correct: “His final work for Bungie was composing music for the 2014 video game Destiny that went unused. He successfully sued Bungie for firing him from the company due to unpaid wages.”
ALL music was used. Sued for stock and won.

I just read my Wikipedia thing. How can I correct the stuff that’s not true?
Is the system broken?
Maybe I shouldn’t believe Wikipedia about other things.

Congrats to Second Dinner and my friend for winning tonight!!
For the record, Halo CE and Halo 2 wouldn’t exist without his efforts.

Huh, I forgot this was out there. Proof that we were negotiating with Robbie Bach for profit sharing more than a year before Halo 2 shipped. 20 years ago…

Since I've been coming out of hibernation a bit lately, I thought I'd share this obscure album again. I don't think anyone can sue me over this one...

Ok, here’s a pallet cleanser.
The “old stuff” music in the dropship was supposed to have been Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones.
How cool would that have been?
Couldn’t afford it…

Another pivotal moment: Spring 2001 Balmer taking questions at an MGS meeting. I asked “MS is a great software company. How can it become a great entertainment company?”
He answered “You mean great entertainment/software company.”
I didn’t.

Sigh…yes I’m an old guy, but this stuff is your history. You youngsters should look at a pivotal moment in Halo development.
The day Microsoft accepted the resignation of Ed Fries.

I know this won’t matter to some of you but, it doesn’t matter what year it is. I’ve never thought that announcing a ten year plan is a good idea in game development.
Even when Bungie did it, I was against it.

Another insight about baseball. A team can win a lot of games, hit home runs, make great plays, have amazing individual players, and still have a losing record.
I used to go to Cubs games during losing seasons because I’m a fan.
Still glad when they booted upper management.

If a baseball team had a loosing record five years in a row you don’t just fire the coach you fire the GM.
Imagine if it was more than a decade.
I love baseball.

That's so funny. There's a warning on this image. The image that was sent on the Voyager spacecraft.

Was thinking about my old "be nice to the goose" thing today for some reason. Remember to pay attention to the eggs laid by the goose (look for gold ones). Also, this:

Some clarification. I’m playing a new Farfisa Professional Piano in my parents’ basement with my band. To my left is my father’s office desk with his nameplate “Bob O’Donnell”. His awards are up on the wall.

Looks like I've been a "Professional" piano player for more than half a century. Circa 1972.

So, he made it off the first Halo, why couldn’t he have done it again?
