And well, in a world of customized avatars (that includes oh, i don't know, anything in *gaming*, not just worlds), you might be able to design little people. And hey, maybe scrape some data from facebook to give it a personality based on certain models of people in your social graph, huh? And maybe that will disrupt human relations. The jealous of the carbon vs. the bit. We wait in line for iPhones after all. Do we want to love the machine? - Eric Rice

Eric - have you checked out Seattle Science Foundation? http://seattlesciencefoundatio... I'll dig up some pics from my tour of their facilities, but you can go and check them out in SL already. Give me a couple days to track down my pics. I know Franza and several others on their board. Light years ahead of most orgs. Franza is deep. Their islands on SL are called Medipelago. Also check out http://2b3d.net. Randy and the 2B3D team built Medipelago. Right up your alley I'd imagine. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

Franza's mantra - move photons not electrons. genius. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

I'll check it out. There's a huge huge opportunity here, from UI/UX to social interaction (even real-to-real via virtual). I think I've fallen into the AI pool since we know we can mangle the data around us, tangible or otherwise. - Eric Rice

There is good amount of possibilities with Eye toy and interaction. Imagine playing little big planet on your table, pushing them, taking them through platforms etc. Users will become part of the game, not just controlling through an interface - Alemsah

Would you say the photo and video quality is good or no? - Outsanity

audio quality from the camera is great, video, so-so (matt may recorded a video podcast with the cam, lemme find it) and picture, well, it's 1.3 mp, what do you think :) ... - Eric Rice

+1 Clarence. I use all those too. - WittyDisplayName

and if you use the word gay to mean cheerful? - gregory lent

Is it wack or whack, I thought it was with the h. Though I agree with "gay". I have a pet peeve for 'tight' to describe something good, same with 'the bomb' - I guess I'm just getting old. - AJ Kohn

so i can't even talk about katty perry's song, ur so gay? i like that song. it's so gay. (nah but seriously, a lot of kids use that word -- it came back out from the late 80s and early 90s.) is it the equivalent of everyone thinking they can say "n" cuz it's in all the rap songs? - Lynne d Johnson

Aj, I'm no good at keeping it straight in my own writing but I'm pretty sure it's "wack". Whack is like Whack-A-Mole. Wrong idea. - Jason Toney

It's definitely wack and not whack -- at least that's the way we said it in the 80s. Either it was wack or it was def. - Lynne d Johnson

"last night and today, we witnessed the pop culture birthing of one Dayron Robles, Cuban 110 meter hurdler, world record holder and Olympic gold medal winner. Indeed, he is fast as all get out, and he seems heroically impervious to our fear of a hurdle wrecking our genitalia in Olympic ignobility, but that is not what makes him great. First, in an Olympic Games populated with freakishly attractive athletes who train in world-class American, Chinese and European facilities, Dayron looks like Raj from What's Happening!. He wears wire-rimmed spectacles held in place by Croakies that look like they were cut from an old boot, hangs tinny gold chokers around his neck and keeps time with a fresh executive watch." - Jason Toney via Bookmarklet

This is why I keep writing stories where the main characters aren't white and aren't just a plot device. Because out of all of my favourite sci-fi books, I can count on one hand the number of black characters that aren't just there to further along the white lead's journey. There's a reason it took me 20 years to embrace sci-fi--I never felt like it had anything to offer me, and sometimes that's still in question. - Evangeline

wow. just wow. I'm trying to think of significant black characters in sci-fi books, and I drawing blanks right now. I know I'm tired and fuzzy-brained, but wow. - Harvey Simmons

Most COC that show up for more than five minutes are usually just Magical Negroes there to make the white characters' journeys a little easier. It's so frustrating. - Evangeline

I'd actually like to try writing a non-white character someday, just because I don't think I really ever have. - Heather

None of the leads in most of my stories are white. Lilith is an alien, so she doesn't count; most of the people in my really big story that wouldn't die were black, Asian, Hispanic or half-white/half POC, and the story I'm working on now has a white woman and a Mexican vampire. That's part of why I have to write as much as I do--even if no one ever sees it, at least I have something that proves that POC actually exist in science fiction. - Evangeline

Harvey, Walter Mosley's Futureland features sci-fi shorts all featuring POC. - Jason Toney

Walter Mosley? The "Easy Rollins" Walter Mosley? No idea he wrote sci-fi! - Harvey Simmons

Thanks, Jason! I'm looking this up on Amazon right now! - Harvey Simmons

I /knew/ I should've just bought that when I noticed it the other day. Thanks for the rec, Jason! - Evangeline

the wikipedia entry on Futureland is actually decent - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F.... To this point, it's his only leap into sci-fi and I think he did it for exactly the same reasons you outlined, Evangeline. The space is lacking in black protagonists. - Jason Toney

just read Apex Hides the hurt and it was amazing... no real point, just sharing. - anna

"Megan Ceder is among the world's top electronic athletes. Like other young athletes, she juggles life as a college student and a member of the team LA Complexity, specializing in virtual fighting games. Ceder, 21, has broken numerous video game records in nearly six years of gaming, and she continues to train four to six hours day. While video games might be considered a stretch as an Olympics-worthy sport, Ceder says she considers the level of skill and training needed to excel at electronic gaming to be on par with such sports as archery and shooting." - Jason Toney via Bookmarklet

"This month, King is dipping his toe into the Internet yet again. To promote Just After Sunset — his first volume of short stories in six years — King's publisher, Scribner, has teamed up with Marvel Comics and CBS Mobile to produce and distribute an online comic adaptation of a previously unreleased story from the collection." - Kyle Hebert via Bookmarklet

I just gobbled up the first 15 (of 25) episodes of this and it's an intriguing tale. I find King to be more eerie in short form than in his novels, and this doesn't disappoint. Also the art and style of this "video comic" are a perfect fit for the story. - Kyle Hebert

King seems to be one of the smart artists embracing online marketing. He recently did a bunch of online video for his Duma Key release. You can see his online interview here: http://www.bookvideos.tv/video... (disclosure: my company manages the bookvideos.tv web site) - Morgan
