Cider Press Hill

Bodice ripper hero

And there I was zipping through the house, with CNN on the tube for background noise, when a particularly arresting face appeared. He looked like something fresh off a bodice ripper’s cover. And wouldn’t you know it...he has a name to match. Trip Hawkins. Think about that name. Trip. Hawkins.

I plopped right down on the sofa to partake of the eye candy for a few minutes. Turns out he’s the founder of Electronic Arts (a name near and dear to gamers’ hearts). Now this entrepreneur has started a new company, Digital Chocolate, geared to the mobile phone user who wants to kill some time on the train or waiting in line...wherever. Little games on the mobile phone that are part of a larger community where games can be played with other users, scores shared, all that digital community good stuff. Social networking, digitally.

But goodness. Trip Hawkins. Eye candy with a brain.
