I don’t want to spend too much time on the hardware but then again it does give us a sense of possibilities in the future. This particular netbook won’t go to market…it’s just for testing. Of course, there’s little changes here that suggest Google wants manufacturers to rethink some things. Form I’ve been eyeing netbooks [...]

Imagine my surprise. Google announced their ChromeOS project a while back. Everyone was starting to wonder when/if anything would come of it. Android has been making headlines and there didn’t seem to be room for this “weird” web-only platform. Well, as we all know now, ChromeOS is coming whether you think it should or not. [...]

Note: I meant to post this a loooong time ago. I marked it as a draft and forgot about it…oops. It’s really tricky to explain the return from the playa to people.

I was mostly getting situated and couldn’t really get the gist of what was going on with this pres. Next up, Transforming Transportation with Ted Nguyen from the Orange County Transportation Authority. He had some great [...]

It’s the end of day 1 of the first Gov 2.0 LA unconference and I must say the organizers did a great job of pulling various folks from various parts of the citizenry. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect. Would it be just like a BarCamp? Would it be more like…oh, I dunno…any event [...]

The Virtual Among Us

by vaughn on January 18, 2010 · 2 Comments

I finally have something to say that won’t fit in 140 characters. Ever since my first foray into virtual worlds I’ve taken a bit harassing from friends and strangers alike. I’m not alone. There’s quite a bit of eyebrow raising when you start talking to people about a world that only “exists” on a stack [...]
