I can't help but think the author would benefit from some of the philosophy of James Hague (a game programmer):

Don't focus too much on technology, disconnected from what people (including you) might want to actually use. Otherwise you will not get the real inspirations -- even purely technical inspirations -- that come from something that you intend to use.

I get where that comes from. I surely did have the disconnection some years back, but think I'm on a better track now. Thanks for the link.
