Second Life, the ABC and Virtual Social interactions

UPDATE: The Producer of the show sent me the audio and I’ve snipped out music and commercials. You can listen here. Just like Laurel, I was asked on the ABC Radio Tuesday night to talk about Second Life (SL). Evidently the show was about online relationships, not just SL, but I didn’t know this beforehand,Continue reading “Second Life, the ABC and Virtual Social interactions”

Immersive podcast recording in SL – next Extraordinary Everyday Lives show

UPDATE: Mike has written a good post about this podcast session over on his blog. A few days ago Nick Hodge wrote an interesting post titled “Thinking Ahead of the Game” about Immersive Conversations. I like it because it quickly condenses and summarises the online interaction ‘state-of-play’. It also uncannily traces the spaces I’ve foundContinue reading “Immersive podcast recording in SL – next Extraordinary Everyday Lives show”

Bluetooth SoundBall potential for blind soccer

SoundBall is a ball with sensors that make it emit sounds according to what it’s movement is. The ball transmits what it’s doing via Bluetooth, enabling it to control music and sound through motion. It’s creator, Aleksei Stevens, calls it a toy. But I reckon if you put it onto a field for blind soccerContinue reading “Bluetooth SoundBall potential for blind soccer”

I’ve never read Malcolm Gladwell’s book “Tipping Point” but something inside me feels on the edge.

Thinking about Three Levels of Technology Access

Overview: * Getting hold of technology, operating it and getting value from it are challenges when the mode of access falls outside the intended design parameters. * Access to technology needs to start with a person focus not a technology focus. * Gaps in access should be approached from the bottom up with an opennessContinue reading “Thinking about Three Levels of Technology Access”

The Fourth Platform clarified – the Social Sector

Over on her blog, Laurel does as brilliant job of expanding on a very important penny that was dropped and jelled at the Connecting Up Conference earlier in the week. It’s reflected in the comment I jotted down here while liveblogging. During his keynote, Daniel Ben-Horin from Compumentor made reference to the emergence of aContinue reading “The Fourth Platform clarified – the Social Sector”

Todays Quote – Identity

From JP Identity is a natural place to go. People will soon work out that the uniqueness is best defined by identity and not by IP address or similar. Read it….look out for indentity hijackers and scarcity makers. We are as individuals already scarce – as in unique…we don’t need anyone monetising us. a milestoneContinue reading “Todays Quote – Identity”
