Whatever happened to?

thebitterguyI woke up this morning thinking "Man, I wonder what happened to Dave Pulver?"
Okay, actually I woke up this morning thinking "if I killed the morning host for the CBC, would I get convicted by a jury?" God, I hate that guy.
Anyway, after flipping through GURPS Y2K for a bit, I wondered "Man, what's happened to Dave Pulver?" I think it's been about a decade since I've seen him; we were at Anime North, back when it was still held in a U of T building. He and his brother were there doing their stuff (Dave was there as a Guest, his brother was there to playtest/promote a card game he'd developed). I hung out with them and Peter Donald (status: Missing in Central America) and got a ride with them back to Napanee. Peter took me to visit The Worldhouse, which was at this point on its last legs, being mostly a place where a cat hung out while dreams slowly died.
Anwyay, I googled him and found his web page (no blog, Dave?) and took a look through it. Doesn't appear to have been updated in a couple years, although it's possible he's just living the high life in Victoria on Steve Jackson royalty checks.
The most interesting thing was something I found on his published works page.
Dude. A Muppets MMORPG. How awesome would THAT have been?

I was also involved in the initial stages of several other projects, which ranged from a Lost in Space interactive web site to a massively multiplayer Muppets roleplaying game. My favorite was a computer adventure game based on Gregory Benford's Galactic Center series of hard-sf novels (e.g., Great Sky River). However, Hollyworlds shut down its game development division before these projects could see the light of day.
