Posted on August 3, 2008 by

In a couple of weeks, my favorite dance performance group COBU is doing one of their very rare shows in Manhattan.  For those that haven’t heard me go bananas about them, COBU is a Japanese ensemble that performs a fusion of taiko drumming, rhythm tap and hip-hop.  It’s got pretty much everything I like: hawt…

Virtual World Symposium at USC Today

Posted on August 1, 2008 by

I was in Los Angeles today for a stimulating series of conversations about academic research into virtual worlds, sponsored by the USC Network Culture Project.  It’s humbling being in the room with a dozen people who are all so much smarter than me.  But I learned quite a bit about the state of research in…

Virgin America’s Red entertainment system rawks

Posted on July 31, 2008 by

  I’ve posted before how much I dig Virgin America. I think it’s worth at least an extra $50-100 to fly Virgin over another crappy airline. (I’m looking at you, Southwest and Delta.) One of the sweetest things about Virgin is their "Red" entertainment system. They have various flavors of video content from broadcast TV…
