SLCC 2009 – Day 2
This morning I learned that Linden Lab has reached 320 employees. For the keynote, Philip Rosedale introduced a certain avatar named Kurzweil Tomorrow who held forth for an hour on this fine futuristic topic in a notably tenor tone.
Today I saw sessions involving reviews of pay rates for virtual-world workers (hint: not good). Enterprise SL usage with an emphasis on enhanced usability through rapid and effective training, and is supported by 24 Lindens who activley leverage existing technology.
At lunch and shortly afterword, I learned much more about the Meerkat Viewer. I saw some of the Machinima presentation and received a wonderful DVD of MaMachinima Festival 2009 thanks to Fab Outlander of Orange, and greatly enjoyed the informative panel about blogging SL moderated by Hamlin Au.
The evening offered a fine party bus thanks to Woodbury University School of Media, Culture, and Design that cycled between the convention and Linden Lab offices, where we left our marks. On our return, the Odd Ball was just starting and offered fine and fun conversations with trance and a truly cosmic parallel dance club in SL. The resident SIMGIS intern, Rat Dawg, snagged a copy of the brief novel AFK by Huckleberry Hax
It was a wonderful day and tomorrow looks to be grand as well. For now, it’s rest!
