Some Real World Event Notes
Thought I would share a couple of real life "program notes" I'm participating in for those that might be interested.
The January issue of Optimize Magazine (CMP United Business Media) will include a feature article I wrote about the potential of Second Life and virtual worlds for business. It will be on the web as of January 1. I'll post a link.
On January 10th I will be speaking at the San Diego, CA PRSA chapter on social media and media trends for 2007. Of course virtual worlds will be mentioned! Please come if you happen to be in the area!
I will be co-presenting with Kami Huyse at Ragan's New Communications Forum 2007 in a session on March 8, titled "Second Life, Second Chance." We'll be looking at the culture and discussing how marketers can be effective in virtual worlds. If you are attending, please stop by and say hello - It would be great to meet you!
This Friday I will be interviewed in world by students from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalsim who are creating a televison show on Second Life. One pre-production question: "does your avatar's mouth move?" A peak into the challenges of crossing virtual world with visual medium.
It reminds me of this great (personal favorite) and award-winning machinima.

I had no idea where that "lips" machinima was going at first, but by the end I was dying. Totally freakin' funny and very well done :-)

I've watched it dozens of times and I still laugh. Glad you liked it! I guess only Second Lifers will really 'get it' but for the production quality alone it is worth watching. Lip Flap took first place in the Take5 machinima festival a while back.
