In the chat section of the IEEE Metaverse Congress Session 5 webinar, Yu Yuan reached out to me regarding the content I was offering. I sent him this email, though I haven’t heard back from him yet. I prepared a post with my comments from the chat and a rather poor screen recording of much […]

This is a follow up to a post I made in late September after catching the final half hour of the third IEEE Congress on the Metaverse. IEEE, Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers, dates back to 1884. Their first technical meeting, mostly of telegraphers, was held in Philadelphia in the fall of that year. […]
This is a guest post by Roma Wilson, Quantum Heart Cafe, describing how data and technology is being used to create intelligent communities in Vancouver BC. As I have been learning more about the planned roll out of Web3, social impact investing, and smart cities, I’ve been paying more attention to advertisements and local media […]
This is a follow-up to this morning’s post. Spent a lovely day on Mount Lemmon making hearts and reading from Yevgeny’s Zamyatin’s 1921 novel “We.” The top of the mountain was enveloped in clouds with strong winds. Things got calmer as I worked my way back down the range, taking in the varied ecosystems. Enjoy! […]

The goal is to catalyze emergent behavior through digital social engineering. I’m dropping in quickly this morning in to re-share two long talks I did about Twitter. At this point […]
Today I head up to Tempe, AZ where I plan to spend a few days exploring the campus of Arizona State University, the playground of Michael Crow, founding board chair of In-Q-Tel. The school is a center of technological education and life gaming chock full of researchers tasked with delving into bioengineering, complexity theory, big-data […]
This weekend my friend Dru hosted Jason and I as speakers for her Tucson Summit. The presentation I gave was recorded and should be up on my channel in the next week or so after Jason gets back to Denver and has time to knit it together. The format was eight ten-minute segments followed by […]
The following images were offered by Maria to share with you. A botanical intention for healing in the shape of a heart placed in the countryside of Mexico. A PDF of this set of images is available here. Maria also prepared a PDF with a set of images about the Maya Train project, but due […]
I have a friend, Peninsolar, who’s been navigating a new life in Sweden after unexpected dislocation. Peninsolar is an artist who works in sound and images, an explorer and interpreter of big thoughts and intriguing places. He sent me images of early snows there, signaling the winter storytelling season. I felt transformed by the window […]
