Second Life success
Had a great time in Second Life, and met a bunch of very nice people
The interview with Mitch Wagner went very well. I took the photo below as the amphitheatre was filling up; there were lots of people there and Mitch and I had no trouble finding things to talk about for an hour. Mitch was particularly interested in my foresight activities, so we talked about how that works, and about the upcoming "scibarcamp" I'm helping organize here in Toronto.
I was hugely impressed by how helpful and polite people were. No griefers in this crowd! A lot of people hung around after the formal interview; I apologize for not finding the chat window in time (I'm new to the Second Life interface) so I'm afraid I missed a lot of questions. But nobody got impatient with me.
I'm impressed; and I'll be back.

Reminder - Second Life Interview Today
It's GridTalk time on Dr. Dobb's Island, 12:00 sharp (pacific)
Mitch and I have been going over our talking points, and we're going to cover the gamut from my work in foresight studies to how the world of Virga came to exist. We may even discuss the very first MORPG I worked on--way back in 1982!

Interview in Second Life
Dr. Dobb's Island, Friday at noon--be there!
Friday, February 1, 2008, I'll be interviewed by Mitch Wagner of Information Week. The interview is going to happen inside Second Life, so if you're a member, come on over to Dr. Dobb's Island at 12:00 noon Pacific time, and find your way to the amphitheatre. I'll be chatting with Mitch for half an hour or so about my various obsessions--augmented reality, green tech, and wild new directions for science fiction--and then we'll open up for questions and comments from the floor. It should be a great time.
