My dear friend and building partner of many years, Daisyblue Hefferman passed away
at 2:10PM Thursday, May 27th, 2010.

She suffered a massive stroke on Tuesday May 18th 2010, Late at night.
She was in bed. She was found 24 hours later by family, lying on the floor in sleep clothing, next to her bed.

She was being cared for at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester N.Y.
Her family was with her when she passed quietly.

This loss has affected many, she did many wonderful things for so many people and helped so many along the way.

She was a Virtual Worlds pioneer who prided herself on her excellent work and detail.

I miss her terribly and the pain in my heart is inconsolable.

A new internet TV program launches on February 1st that delves into how people spend their lives online. Life On Line, as the name suggests is about how people are increasingly spending more of their lifetime using the internet .

The TV show is the brain-child of Australian journalist and communications consultant Steve Cropper, who in 2008 was 'Angelico Babii', host of the LATE SHOW on Metaverse-TV (www.metaverse-tv.com) and the creator of My-Metaverse (www.my-metaverse.com) a social network for people involved in the new media arts on the web.

"We want to go deeper into how people use their online time for news and entertainment, creativity, love, friendship, business, shopping, political engagement, work and play - or any other reason", said Cropper. "We also scan the internet for emerging new talent - musicians, movie makers, writers, bloggers - anyone who is contributing to the richness of digital life".

Life On Line includes a cast of seasoned bloggers, journalists and entertainers including internet band, Space Junky - three people living in the US, Australia and Malaysia who collaborate, record, produce and market their music entirely onine. The line-up also boasts the Marketing Director of the Association of Virtual Worlds, Andrew Peters who is also a leading practitioner of social networking and internet marketing campaigns. Every episode features internet news man Sigmund Leominster, a veteran blogger. There are guest comedians and musicians and interviews with people making news across the internet.

You are invited to visit the life-on-line viewers' group website at www.life-on-line.ning.com

I would be interested in sharing ideas with virtual technology pros who have experience in 3d person scanning techniques for various ventures both commercial,private and govt business related. Especially in regards to teaming up with hardware and software manufacturers and distributors to create a potential product standard and distribution team.

Nicholas thanks for mentioning the importance of comparing Communication vs Interaction. I agree that this can be the biggest challenge in any forum. I see alot of great virtual developers here and also alot of great business pros. The more communications barriers removed the better. I have alot of ideas to share with developers of communications apps for second life etc... My biggest strength is in creating a buzz to bring real businesses onboard to share their needs and strengths in creating significant revenue streams for all based on mutual efforts and performance measurements. In the past I turned one phone call into a downline of 40,000 sales agents to promote my companies service. By asking them one simple question..... I may tell you what it was someday...... (0: It is amazing how a worldwide financial superpower co and little ole me...formed a multi million dollar partnership with some dry humor and a few lighthearted conversations.
My other strength is in using information mapping and behavioral/learning models to interface with technology. I may not be a programming guru but have partnered with many to grow businesses. My passion is to streamline,automate and at the same time grow enormous revenue streams from bringing large channel streams into focus with common goals.
Not to be repetitive but Nicholas thanks for reinforcing the importance of opening communications channels.
I look forward to sharing with each of you.
Have a great fourth all!

I think there will be a 3D www in future,because the 3D www can take us really convenient,help us do more work or other things on the net. And we can save the time to do some more things.

I agree with Attila Beke but with qualifiers: I doubt we'll have a 3D WWW in the next 10 years, however, just like text-based RPG games went to 2D graphics and then to 3D graphics, the 2D WWW will eventually evolve to 3D. We can't predict accurately how computer displays will evolve over time but...my money is on 3D displays one day in the not-too-far future. Our kids will probably have a WWW that is analogous to those 3D Desktop programs available now. A user will click a "link" and then "teleport" to a 3D environment that will probably have that site's content arranged conveniently in a semi-circular arrangement as say, hovering 3D signs that direct users to other areas of the 3D environment. But like I said, it's probably not going to be soon...more like 10 to 15 years before 3D WWW becomes the norm.
