Futurist In Residence with the Electric Sheep Company, metaverse developers

This blog is frozen in time. Please visit The Other Here for signs of life.

I'm Futurist In Residence with the Electric Sheep Company, available and very much liking to consult and speak about virtual worlds like Second Life, World of Warcraft, Google Earth, their tangled future and the ties that are progressively binding them with the greater Net.

I've spoken at Accelerating Change, Game Developers Conference, Serious Games Summit, O'Reilly Where 2.0 (upcoming), Games for Change, Metaverse Roadmap Summit, Second Life Community Convention, Association of Professional Futurists, and other conferences.
