Don’t promote your product
The following is a reprint of the Ad Nauseam column which appeared in the July 29, 2008 edition of the Metaverse Messenger
Advertising is a blend of two entirely different motivations. The first is that of the people who make the product — the producers. Their motivation is simple: buy my product because I have rent due, mortgages to keep up, alimony payments in arrears, gambling debts to take care of, and hospital bills to cover… Continue

AUGRid is bigger and badder than before - new topology design
Ok so the gammer isn't perfect but i'm excited. lol
After a few hours of reconfiguring AUGrid to have separate databases for each region server and some mysql tweaks, the grid is now performing better then ever.

I am now confident that the grid is ready for whatever influx may happen, and… Continue

China rising as an Olympic star? Maybe not...
With the Olympic Games approaching we can see China in just about every newscast when turning on the television. News reports recently have ranged from Tibetan uprisings, Taiwan elections, Sichuan (that's pronounced Sit-che-wahn) province earthquakes, to the more positive, such as the upcoming Olympics, a population that loves Americans (more or less), and... well, I don't know what else to be sure.

My prediction: Dating sites without a virtual dating component will not survive
According to a recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive, adults worldwide go online for several reasons: 23 percent of respondents say they go online for dating, 50 percent use social networking sites and 72 percent play games. So, what do you get when you combine all three? An awesome virtual dating application!

Crazy day fixing computers
Has anyone ever tried to drive down the highway at 70mph (113kph)and talk someone through installing a network card?
And mind you this person I am talking through this is not at all used to opening up their computer and rooting around inside it.
Heck he can barely use it for email. But he is a client and I needed to help.
What a fun day.
But we got through it and all is better now.

Can Virtual Experiences Boost Self-Confidence?
Research findings from Stanford University’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab (VHIL) suggest that virtual experiences can have an effect on people’s behavior in the real world. Researchers observed that even a couple of minutes of avatar-based chatting can elicit behavioral changes offline. For example, positive virtual experiences can boost self-confidence.

Virtual Dating = Future of Online Dating
We’ve got a couple new big players on the field: Vivaty and Google’s Lively. What makes these virtual worlds different is that they can be accessed from other sites - very cool!
My guess is, there are very few implications for online dating in the short run, other than increased awareness of the “virtual dating” concept. However down the road, we will likely see many new exciting online dating applications.
