Posters in Second Life on organizing effective multi-verse events

Posted on June 8, 2006 by

As I have blogged about previously, I have started a wiki page on the Second Life Education wiki on the subject of   “Best Practices for RL/SL Events” . More ideas have been trickling in, and I’ve been making the page a bit easier to read.  Now SL resident Milosun Czervik (that’s him besides me in…

Scam Spam from the “National Conference Against Racism Discrimination and Safety”

Posted on June 8, 2006 by

Oh fun, got a scam email today from the "National Conference Against Racism Discrimination and Safety." First off, how can you be against safety? LOL. It’s got the typical weirdness: bad English, a phone number that doesn’t correspond to the address, and an offer too-good-to-be-true-because-it-isn’t.  In this case, an all-expense-paid trip to Dubai.  The only…

Real places in Second Life: the Seattle Space Needle

Posted on June 7, 2006 by

I visited today a tremendous recreation of the Seattle Space Needle in Second Life created by Mattias Faulkner. It’s clearly the result of a lot of work and planning on his part to get the design and scale just right.  It’s a lovely structure in real life, and no less so in simulation.  The difference…

Posted on June 5, 2006 by

Now that the new version of Second Life  supports an in-world mozilla web browser, we soon will be able to web surf without leaving the confines of virtuality.  Like all things, there are new opportunities and potential problems associated with an in-world browser, i.e.: Con: Potentially new viruses and trojan horses being propogated in-world Con:…

Baby falcons falling from the sky!

Posted on June 4, 2006 by

Hanging out at Cindy’s place in mid-town, I peeked out the window and saw what looked like a little hawk standing motionless on the sidewalk. We headed out to check on the little guy, just as a small crowd was gathering around him. We debated about what we should do. Someone tried calling 311. Cindy…

“An Inconvenient Truth”: the most important slide show you will see all year

Posted on June 4, 2006 by

Cindy and I saw “An Inconvenient Truth” last night. As someone who should be fairly well informed on these issues, with frequent contact with environmental activists and experts, I was surprised and appalled by the urgency of the ecological crisis facing our planet. It is indeed terribly “inconvenient” to face the reality that within our…

Negroponte’s $130 laptop versus Intel’s $400 laptop

Posted on June 3, 2006 by

According to ZDNET, John Negroponte announced a couple of days ago that the first iteration of the “$100 laptop” from the One Laptop Per Child initiative will be closer to $130 to $140 dollars. Even at $130, this computer still comes in at a pricepoint that governments like China, Brazil and South Africa could consider…

I was honored to be invited to a one day strategic discussion today on a new human rights video hub being created by the non-profit WITNESS. Started at the initiative of Peter Gabriel, in 1992, WITNESS uses the power of video to open the eyes of the world to human rights abuses. Traditionally their work…
