My Minecraft Dream as a kid. January 4, 2001 _Write a book,
   starting with the hole in the ground that wasn't there before,
   opening up.* Base it on the dreams you had as a kid.* 3 of you
   on the roof.* Keep the theme.* Fill in the backyard, then the
   pool and other places where time/space/interdimensional travel
   occurs. _ That's a reminder that I wrote to myself in 2001. The
   hole in the ground that wasn't there before; well, the moment I
   laid eyes on Minecraft sometime before I tried it, I thought,
   "This can't be it; is this the dream I had as a kid?* Can't be!"
   First time I went in, I knew.* This was the realm of infinite
   possibilities and adventures that aren't pre-programmed by the
   game designers.* The "book" I wanted to write wasn't a book at
   all; the experience I wanted to convey was Minecraft.* It
   doesn't bother me that someone else created it instead of me; in
   fact, I'm glad because it was probably an awful lot of work to
   make it. When I say, "Your dreams can come true", I mean it
   literally.* They can and do.* You just have to know you've found
   it when you see it, whatever your dreams may be.
