If you are anything like me you probably have many blogs on the go. I stupidly set myself the task of maintaining the following blogs, wikis and a few web 1.0 sites:
LAMP, JustVirtual, Watercooler, GaryHayes.tv, Cubrisound, LAMP Wiki, MUVEDesign and a host of sharing portal channels, other wikis, forums and commercial sites which you can […]

Like any ‘futurist’ type I try to keep up with the various present day developments to see if my own personal road-map is playing out, and it helps re-orientate if it is not. Anyway as predicated a south east asian version of Second Life came out a few weeks ago and I have been keeping […]

“I think we are really approaching a perfect storm, a mixed reality perfect storm, because we are seeing several things happening. The first one is a long history of […]

The Second Life builds I did for Telstra BigPond and ABC TV (interview with me at SLOZ and also here at CeBit about this) have been very successful (via The Project Factory) and I have been ’sucked’ into doing several keynote, panels and seminars about this exciting development. The growing maturity (2nd generation) of brands, […]

YAY! Jackie my LAMP cohort and Paul Bennun (a new LAMP mentor on the next lab in Tas) won their development awards categories! more later…Writing this on various jetlagged Europe to Australia plane hops so excuse any fragmentation of style – will be tidying and adding links and speakers quotations (to bring it to life) […]

A great 3rd day at Milia and a much broader spectrum of issues discussed around the many Milia halls. It started with the world’s most advanced broadband nation with Dr. Hyun-Oh Yoo giving us a rare insight into the worlds most culturally integrated social network – Cyworld in South Korea. This was the first time […]

(Thanks to Rory Sutherland of Ogilvy for that image). A brief, as at mid conference, ones mind is too distracted to put together a reflective, long format piece for a media blog (well I suppose that’s the nature of blogs!) – and also there is very little time to sit back and write this stuff […]

The Relentless March of Channels and Formats into Second Life
Rather than just referring to the many standard press articles about the growing number of companies or formats that are setting up in Second Life (the media’s favourite MUVE at the moment) I have been ‘living it’ so to speak. My inworld blog JustVirtual provides an […]

Just spotted my old collegues Matt Locke and Frank Boyd launching another series of 360 lab initiatives at the BBC. Not much has changed since the labs of 2000 and earlier, when EXACTLY to the day, six years ago I was presenting slides including those on this post to wannabee cross-media BBC producers. Incidentally I […]

Been hit by a server hacker in London today so would have blogged about this earlier this morning! I have talked before about TV branded virtual worlds and what I called Merged-Media Entertainment, those strange synched and non synched, virtual/real cross-over entertainment formats that have great potential. Anyway the plot thickens as yet another […]

In two days time the latest Mark Burnett show, I blogged about in April ‘Alternate Reality TV‘ , will begin. I think this programme will start to blur the line between pure reality TV and the immersion afforded by alternate reality game type quests across media. Much of this seems to be primarily designed to […]

I was quite shocked when I heard the news that TOTP (Top of the Pops) is to close down after 42 years and some 2100 episodes. Is this the first of many major ‘heritage’ media brands that are just becoming irrelevant in today’s easy find, on-demand and share with everyone emerging media landscape? Will many […]
