My personal pantheon.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

A very mundane and pointless announcement: After watching the video of game guru Will Wright giving a demonstration of the upcoming “Spore” at the 2005 Game Developers Conference (download it from here), I am now officially granting him a central place in my personal pantheon. There he joins Beethoven, Austrian novelist Robert Musil, Polish movie director Krzysztof Kieslowski, dynamic duo Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman of Mythbusters, and the guy who invented frozen pizza.

For this occation, I have prepared this sketch for a mural, which I intend to have painted on my bedroom ceiling, as soon as I can find a renaissance genious to do the job.

(Yeah, I know… “Where’s Cecil?” Now, the thing is, Cecil is the one and only invisible deity, and as such belongs to a different and competing religious system all together. I worship Cecil on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, and my pantheon on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. OK?)

So… what does your personal pantheon look like? :slight_smile:

On second thought, I think I should have posted this in Café Society… or IMHO… In fact, almost anywhere but here. :dubious: PTB, feel free to move or ignore this as you please.

Sticking with the video game theme, I’ll go with Sid Meier. He created the Earth…many times over. And I don’t think he rested on Sundays.

To that, I’ll add Britt Daniel of Spoon, Jon Stewart and Alfred Hitchcock. Funny, nobody shows up that I’ve actually met in real life. It seems easier to deify celebrities.
