Yeah, it was a nice moment for Matt to use your tilting laptop demo as an example of the mapping of RL on SL. Matt did a semi-live demo of the arduino hack, showing a split-screen side-by-side RL SL video. Would have been great if he did it live! And I would certainly love to hear more about the tennis ball tracking stuff. In light of the new gender parity in winnings, I am wondering what qualitative data can be generated from the ball tracking which would give winnings based on performance freed from body, rather than victory. Please get in touch! jk Hey Roo!

Did he demo his d Arduino hack live? If you're interested in the Wimbledon (or even the later Australian Open) project with the tennis ball tracking stuff, let me know. Hi Joshua

]]> Comment on Notes from the ‘Global Place’ conference by Joshua http://www.joshuakauffman.org/2007/01/11/notes-from-the-global-place/comment-page-1/#comment-111 Joshua Sun, 14 Jan 2007 23:01:46 +0000 http://www.joshuakauffman.org/2007/01/11/notes-from-the-global-place/#comment-111 Completely agree Carson. And the conferences should be geared toward policy makers. Ultimately sustainable architecture, which is a costly long term investment that pays off in the long term, will be built by visionaries, principled people and those with money to spare. That basically leaves out most people. It's the policy makers, with their laws, mandates and standards that can make the sustainable practices widespread. There was talk of some certification organizations, but nothing regulatory to speak of. As Mazria spoke of up to 50% of Green house gases coming from construction, it's time to engage policy to complement the engagement of imagination, creativity and good will. Completely agree Carson.

I wonder what they will make of this so-called 'practical utopianism.' If its one it can't be the other, right?

It's a common complaint that we are overly 'present' or 'available' with cell phones already. Like many things, communication for me is valued in quality, not quantity.

]]> Comment on SHiFT: Social and Human Ideas for Technology by Joshua http://www.joshuakauffman.org/2006/07/23/shift-social-and-human-ideas-for-technology/comment-page-1/#comment-20 Joshua Thu, 17 Aug 2006 14:11:27 +0000 http://www.joshuakauffman.org/2006/07/23/shift-social-and-human-ideas-for-technology/#comment-20 Pedro, I fully agree! Conferences like SHiFT bring faces and bodies to signigicant distant voices. It's crucial to build a community in person. And we all have to thank people like you for making these things happen. Thanks. The European representation at the conferences I've attended has been quite good. And for the non-Europeans, the sentiment has been overwhelmingly positive. They have sensed a different underlying spirit to the gatherings, unlike other purely entrepreneurial or publicity-related events elsewhere. This is not to say that European conferences are always soulful affairs, but there is some truth to the observation that to a great extent, the discussion of technology in Europe addresses social as well as business interests. These interests are not only compatible, but are necessary to combine. That Europe seems to recognize this leads me to believe that there is a huge opportunity to unify activities and attitudes for true global thought leadership. In the meantime, European technology properties can continue to thrive by noticing successful ideas elsewhere and adapting them for local markets here. Simultaneously, there are true innovators. And we should celebrate them. Looking forward to seeing you! Pedro,

Don't you agree? Hope I can see you in Lisbon, next September! ;) Hey Jushua,
