You wanna build your IQ higher in the next two years? Be uncomfortable. That means, learn something where you have a beginner's mind.

I always loved both 'Breakout' and 'Asteroids' - I thought they were really good games. There was another game called 'Tempest' that I thought was really cool, and it represented a really hard technology. It's probably one of the only colour-vector screens that was used in the computer graphics field at that time.

Every company needs to have a skunkworks, to try things that have a high probability of failing. You try to minimize failure, but at the same time, if you're not willing to try things that are inherently risky, you're not going to make progress.

I like games where you can use stealth and guile. As you get older, it's like the difference between playing squash and racketball. Squash is an older man's game, because if you're stealthy and wily, you can beat a better-co-ordinated and stronger, younger person.

I think 'Something Ventured' is a nice piece because it celebrates venture capital in a unique and powerful way.

I'm glad to see the casual game play coming back now on the Internet, games that aren't violent, that aren't complex that you can sit down and you can have some fun.
Nolan Bushnell
I try to get a vision of the future, and then I try to figure out where the discontinuities are.
Nolan Bushnell
My sweet spot is figuring out how to make a product that people love and how to refine it to make them love it more. All the rest is business noise.
Nolan Bushnell
I guess I'd like to be known for being an innovator, fostering creativity, thinking outside the box. You know, keeping people playful.

I've always been a tech-head.
Nolan Bushnell
The truth is just an excuse for lack of imagination.
Nolan Bushnell
My perception is that I'm a guy who really does a lot of homework surrounding any project that I do.

Walk to work, even if it's four miles. Ride a bike to work. Drive a different way. On your way there, try to find beauty. You'd be surprised how much more of the neighborhood you can perceive and experience when you're looking for unique spots of beauty.

I must confess I've always had a couple of pinball machines in my home and really have enjoyed some of the old classics, like Fireball.
