Yet another virtual world to add to the smorgasbord: MultiVerse is a system of 3D virtual world clients and servers which you can build and support yourself – eventually. They have just opened up the beta for all to test.
They say:
Participate in the game industry’s most exciting frontier.
Make a complete MMOG or virtual world for less money and in less time than you ever dreamed possible.
Deliver your vision on-line to a large market of players.
Make money however you decide: subscription, item sales, and/or advertising.
Looks pretty interesting – but beyond me I think (for now). People like James Cameron, John Landau and Max Sims (of Maya fame) are behind it too.
I wonder how many more virtual worlds we’ll have to tinker with this time next year? And will we be able to teleport from one to the other? Hmmmmm… iiiinteresting.
Well, well, well. This looks familiar Kaneva is another virtual world network in the works. I haven’t heard of this one before. It will be interesting to see what features and capabilities for customisation, learning and earning there is to be had here. Hmmm….
If you head on over to index.podcast.com , you will find a browsable A to Z index of all the podcasts in the podcast.com system.
Soon, you’ll be able to easily add feeds from this or the search (or anywhere!) to your own podcast directory and share the shows you like to listen to and organise them into feed folders, all with lovely OPML for you to build nice widgets out of – and we will to!
Once I have all the user profiles and contact buzzing on blogHUD user profile pages, then in essence, blogHUD becomes a ‘Virtual Spaceland’. Well. That’s the plan
Very busy with RL work at the moment. (But it’s all ‘connected’ )
UPDATE : December 30th 2006 : He’s dead. He was hanged at 6am local time.
He certainly did bad things and was responsible for many atrocities against mankind. But I feel slightly uncomfortable with the FACT that the equipment to create nuclear weapons was apparently sold to Iraq by the USA and the chemicals for nerve agents was apparently sold to Iraq by the UK. I think those responsible for those transations should also face questioning. IMHO.
I am not the most religious person. These ‘books’ seem to cause more harm than good. Especially when people ‘take sides’. I understand that all the religious ‘stories/fables’ appear to carry a similar message, and are indeed branches of the same tree. None of them condone killing another. That power is supposedly left up to ‘God’ – whoever or whatever he or she may be, to you.
I live in a country where we don’t legally kill people any more (UK). It’s an odd feeling thinking about someone’s death by the hand of the law. He certainly deserves to be punished for his crimes. In his country, they kill people for crimes such as his. They do in America too. I don’t know if I agree with it. If there is a God, then I doubt he or she would either.
Gandhi said “An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind” – I tend to agree. Jesus told people to turn the other cheek.
Would it be enough to let him rot in jail? I don’t think so. But hanging? It’s so barbaric. Why not poison gas or injection? I don’t know. He made so many people suffer that he surely deserves what he gets. But suddenly it doesn’t feel like 2006 any more.
Disturbed and confused. But strangely pleased this farcical trial is now over.
Now let’s see what happens. I’m sure it won’t all be good.
