San Francisco, Vancouver and Shanghai all in another one day

Thursday, June 17th, 2004

A digital recapitulation of my flight over here. Just participated via iChat with Alan Levine and bloggers at the SmallPiecesLooselyJoined conference
at UBC in Vancouver. A short and loud interaction, but cool for its
example of a decentralized technology (iChat) for use in an educational
context.

Thanks, Alan.

Home while away from home

That’s the hometown team playing someone or other, a few minutes ago in San Francisco at PacBell park. View is from David and Amy’s
season spot. Let’s see, I flew to Shanghai to live in a gated
ex-patriot community and watch the Giants live from third base box
seats. My, my, travel has changed.

The quality of connection was phenomenal, especially the sound. 10 of
the Blogopoly folks have iSights. Now all we have to do is enable video
chatting with the district firewall. Hehe.
