RIP, Alan Kotok

Today marks a sad day for gamers as Alan Kotok, designer of the first joystick has passed away at the age of 64. Kotok passed away back in May but barely a whimper was felt through the web, which for a man who did so much for gaming and the internet, is a shame. Not only did Kotok help design the first controller, he spent many years with the World Wide Web Consortium, helping to make the web what it is today. So I ask all gamers to frag one for Alan today!
