Metaverse Meetup
Hosted by the Stanford Humanities Lab (http://shl.stanford.edu/), the second Metavers Meetup, which occured both in Real Life (RL) and in Second Life (SL) last night, featured Jamais Cascio, a futurist of the first degree. Attending this meeting did a few things for me: 1) deepened my involvement in the Metaverse community concerned with the future direction of the Metaverse; 2) further refined my vision of where Virtually Real needs to go; 3) made me see that my role is that of a futurist — I’m just not getting paid for it yet, and have never taken the time to really do the hard work needed to make this a substantial part of my life (http://bentspoon.net/content/view/114/26/).
