Second Life slowdown and upcoming VR worlds
P2P torrents - This is a very interesting new trend. Streaming Torrent technology can make everyone a broadcaster by significantly reducing the server and bandwidth infrastructure costs of broadcasting live video on the Internet. Of course it can not decrease content acquisition and production costs, which is what really costs money.

Fabbing and RepRapping to Matter Compiling - imported from the old blog. In a 2006 article on Globalization and Open Source Nano Economy I argued that ”some of the problems of today’s globalized world could be eliminated or reduced by developing operational worldwide molecular design and manufacturing capabilities. Instead of shipping physical objects, their detailed design specification in a “Molecular Description Language” (MDL) will be transmitted over a global data grid evolved from today’s Internet and then physically “printed” by “nano printers” at remote sites. This would allow communities wishing to remain independent to retain their autonomy”. In this follow-up article I wish to focus on current related developments in future consumer technology, things happening here and now that will take us closer to the Diamond Age of Matter Compiling. Fabbing, an open source version of industrial rapid prototyping and 3D printing technologies, is building a huge momentum and will change things... when practical Matter Compiling is achieved, instead of shipping physical objects, their detailed design specification in a “Molecular Description Language” (MDL) will be transmitted over a global data grid evolved from today’s Internet and then physically “printed” by open nano fabbers at remote sites. The current file formats used by the fabbing community are the most likely candidates to evolve in the MDL.

First Scientific Conference in World of Warcraft - imported from the old blog. I am proud of having participated in writing a page of the history of VR worlds by attending this conference. I will continue to visit World of Warcraft occasionally, and certainly attend all events organized by the Science Guild. This is a group of very bright people with interesting ideas.
