Looking back on Thursday



On Thursday I went to a Mixed Reality Workshop and heard Joyce Bettencourts and Evonne Heyning speaking about how they set up mixed reality events like Obama in Ghana . They also spoke about their work with Global Kids and The MacArthur Foundation. Very cool stuff and I totally agree with their thoughts and ideas on broadcasting in virtual worlds, and the technical issues involved in real life simultaneous broadcasting.
As posted, the Linden Luau event was so cool, we really felt Hawaiian and the food was delicious! And FINALLY the Aussie arrived, Starr Sonic :P, great to meet her after lots of Skypes. So did Dusan Writer - great to meet you in person Dusan! Add lots of other nice people ending at a club that happened to have turned into the Dublin sim in SL. Apple and Ham Rambler and lots of SL artists playing live there streamed into SL (they were at the RL club to speak! :P)

In about 2 hours Ray Kurzweil will make the opening keynote speech and there will be lots of cool stuff all day (see programme on prev. post). The battery on my laptop sucks, so I hope I'll find power and tweeet all day.
