JULY 1, 2006

Last week, I met an avatar named Budley Omegamu who turned out to be Sombit Mishra who is a Technology Associate at GlobalGiving. I didn't know Sombit until I met him - as they say - "in-world" in Second Life.

Recently, my best friend Alyson (www.alysonwoloshyn.com) was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. I mention this only because my life is now directly impacted by cancer in ways I could not have predicted a few months ago.

The 3D space where this virtual symposium will take place is a private version of the Second Life platform that Linden Labs and NMC have created, called the Hakone Project. In fact, I'll be arriving in a Jetson like transportation and my avatar will probably look a lot like Jane Jetson. .

In broad strokes, the fcd is just an gaming extension of life logging--passive data collection about all kinds of aspects of life. I have a friend with a GPS-enabled running watch that tracks his path, and then shows a little animation of an avatar representing him on his last run to "race" the same trail.
