The Old Man River Project

Posted by scottvandam in Musings on December 17, 2009

I’ve been following the Old Man River Project since I was given a tour of their tiny boat on the shores of lake Ontario in Burlington this summer. A team of Burlington adventurers traveled from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico on the Mississippi River a 2,400 mile journey with out burning a tank of Gas.

I was delighted to see that they arrived at their destination last week and it was amazing to follow along reading their blog posts as they made down the journey down the Mississippi river that is at the heart of rich stories and history.

Here is their blog post on taking a plunge in the Gulf Of Mexico last week.

Step Aside Facebook & Second Life meet my new friend Milo a Human Virtual Hybrid

Posted by scottvandam in Technology on August 11, 2009

I think we can all agree that human beings are wired to be part of a community.  We associate  ourselves in groups, we interact, we organize on social networks on Twitter & Facebook.  But what about interacting with a Human Virtual Hybrid?  Meet Milo a boy created by a group of  technologists.  He can recognize your voice, sense your emotions, and can interact with your humanness.   The creator sums up my amazement – This is something that science fiction hasn’t even thought of yet and this technology is happening today.

Let me know your thoughts!
