Blast from my past: my avatar appears in Second Life

DateSaturday, May 22, 2010 at 12:02AM


I would take that hairline today.

Where I spoke.  It was specially constructed for my appearance.

Me walking to the event with my handler.  I didn't fly so well.

Shot from audience.

A famous-in-the-community member in the audience.  He wasn't the reason why I accidentally fell off the stage early in my talk.

Nice action shot.

A comparison of the virtual and real.

Fun event.  "Spoke" by keyboard for a long stretch, then Q&A, and then my kids rushed in from school and jumped all over me and the talk was over--truly the most shocking end to a talk I've ever given.

Post-mortem by hosts found here.

Looks like they put you in the UN General Assembly:

Would that it were so. You'd rattle some cages, for sure.
