Notes from 2009_08_11

Great discussion this morning! 6 out of 8 could make it. Below underlined is preferred name.

Theo Callahan (SL: Theo Outlander) theo@igetit.net
Keysha Gamor (SL: Virtuola Scientist) keysha.gamor.ctr@adlnet.gov
Veonica Borrer (SL: Pooky Amsterdam) info@pookymedia.com
David Burden (SL: Corro Moseley) david.burden@daden.co.uk
Ben Lindquist (SL: Arkowitz Johnson) arkowitz@gmail.com
Richard Hackathorn (SL: Hack Richard) richardh@bolder.com

Absent were:

Julie Fogg (SL: Violet Field) jfogg@activeport.com -- conflict with another meeting
Chris Bishop (SL: Christopher Express) bishop@us.ibm.com

1) We now have a closed blog -- http://ii-colleagues.blogspot.com/ -- to which all of you have been invited as authors. Dump all our stuff here. We will sort it out later. Please monitor and contribute!

2) Tuesdays at 8:00 am SLT seems like an okay time. We all will have conflicts. However, is this time BAD for anyone? If so, what is a GOOD time?

3) Our default SL landing point will be http://slurl.com/secondlife/Second%20Earth%206/178/30/50 hosted by NOAA. Now and then, does anyone want to host us elsewhere?

4) HOMEWORK for next Tuesday: Ben suggested that we work on a problem, like healthcare or climate change. So, think about a hard problem about which we could do a proof of concept for Immersive Intelligence... giving it substance and value. Need rich data to visualize.

5) Pooky does a weekly show http://www.the1stquestion.com/ on Tuesday evenings at 7:00 pm SLT http://slurl.com/secondlife/Spindrift/70/241/701. Stop by and support her!

6) Ben mentioned that the Wizard's Guild has similar interests and meets Fridays at 11:00 am SLT. We may consider merging or collaborating. I will check it out and report back.

7) BEST PRACTICES: Using voice chat using headset. Everyone type important points and links to text chat, which will be archived into the blog. For documents and figures, please dump content and links into the blog prior to meeting, avoiding the flurry of emails. And, someone make fresh coffee for the group!

Here is the text chat....................

[8:12] Hack Richard: Erica's video on the ThinkBalm networking... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzN6VMZW4_c
[8:15] Virtuola Scientist: yup, hehe
[8:15] Hack Richard: :)
[8:15] Theo Outlander: some people might say we're actually Chimp 1.5
[8:16] Hack Richard: human 1.0 versus chimp 1.5
[8:16] Arkowitz Jonson: lol
[8:17] Virtuola Scientist: hehehe-peer pressure!!

[8:25] Hack Richard: welcome David
[8:25] Corro Moseley: hi all
[8:26] Corro Moseley: np
[8:26] Hack Richard: Ben... use II to show the power of 3D viz of a world problem
[8:26] Virtuola Scientist: yep

[8:28] Pooky Amsterdam: wb
[8:28] Hack Richard: sorry, crashed again........ :(
[8:29] Hack Richard: someone collecting the text chat? mine is trashed
[8:29] Theo Outlander: i can do that
[8:30] Hack Richard: I got a lot of climate change data
[8:30] Corro Moseley: yes that or the Millennium Deevlopment Goals would be obvious ones
[8:30] Pooky Amsterdam: climate change plus what though
[8:30] Hack Richard: one new forecasting system at NOAA is generating about one terabyte per 4 hours
[8:30] Hack Richard: actually it is every 6 hours
[8:32] Virtuola Scientist: ..if that
[8:32] Pooky Amsterdam: im thinking as fast as I can
[8:33] Virtuola Scientist: and what happened during....
[8:33] Hack Richard is Offline
[8:33] Corro Moseley: Lloking at the PetaWave might be an intersting take on that - all the data sources and data sinks
[8:33] Virtuola Scientist: what are the impacts of this change--psychologically & socially
[8:33] Corro Moseley: would also play into the current thoughts of the "stream" rather than the "web"
[8:33] Pooky Amsterdam: mmmm
[8:33] Pooky Amsterdam: innovation
[8:34] Virtuola Scientist: cognitive overload--where is it now? Sure, it's individual, but are there any patterns?
[8:34] Pooky Amsterdam: venture captital
[8:34] Pooky Amsterdam: rate of job creation
[8:34] Arkowitz Jonson: yes!
[8:34] Virtuola Scientist: or lack thereof--recall Korean free tutoring system....
[8:34] Virtuola Scientist: put a lot of private tutors out of buisness
[8:35] Virtuola Scientist: underscores need for "the agile worker"
[8:35] Pooky Amsterdam: the top tier of wealth has grown by over 700% this past eyar
[8:36] Virtuola Scientist: sorry-whose wealth?
[8:36] Virtuola Scientist: chuckle
[8:37] Arkowitz Jonson: yes
[8:37] Pooky Amsterdam: interesting!
[8:38] Theo Outlander: true.. there are 1,000,000 of SL-spheres...
[8:39] Arkowitz Jonson: amen brother

[8:40] Hack Richard: sorry... blue screen this time! ugh
[8:40] Arkowitz Jonson: I am partial o 3d visualization using actual prims
[8:40] Hack Richard: have you all been to David's region?
[8:40] Arkowitz Jonson: rather than viz on a screen
[8:40] Theo Outlander: LOL!
[8:40] Theo Outlander: We noticed that Ben
[8:40] Hack Richard: mica
[8:40] Pooky Amsterdam: mica
[8:41] Hack Richard: yup...
[8:41] Corro Moseley: nice model that
[8:42] Theo Outlander: is this thing on?
[8:42] Theo Outlander: LOL
[8:42] Virtuola Scientist: LOL!
[8:42] Virtuola Scientist: I was wondering too
[8:42] Hack Richard: Observe-Experiment-Collaborate-Manage
[8:42] Hack Richard: http://www.b-eye-network.com/channels/1217/view/4163
[8:43] Theo Outlander: Yes, I saw the ThinkBalm video of the War Room - outstanding!
[8:44] Theo Outlander: better!
[8:44] Hack Richard: http://www.b-eye-network.com/blogs/hackathorn/archives/2009/05/3d_immersive_wa.php
[8:45] Theo Outlander: Absolutely
[8:45] Hack Richard: learning is a critical part of II
[8:45] Theo Outlander: using a nail gun to beat on a nail...
[8:45] Pooky Amsterdam: enthusing to learn
[8:46] Hack Richard: doing a workshop tomorrow on "Using SL for Teaching" at CU Boulder
[8:46] Arkowitz Jonson: interactive models!!!
[8:46] Hack Richard: http://www.meetup.com/Serious-SL/calendar/11053312/ for a workshop descirption
[8:47] Virtuola Scientist: simulations can accomplish that too....
[8:47] Hack Richard: http://coltt2009sessions.pbworks.com/Bruce-Henderson
[8:48] Hack Richard: from Theo... Intelligence = actionable information
[8:48] Hack Richard: agree
[8:49] Virtuola Scientist: Absolutely!
[8:49] Pooky Amsterdam: descartes though great philosophers did contribute new ways of framing thought
[8:49] Hack Richard: II = collaboration of learning actionable information in a problem context
[8:50] Pooky Amsterdam: arent we always learning? isnt learning a lifelong journey?
[8:50] Widget Whiteberry is Online
[8:50] Virtuola Scientist: of course, Pooky, but it doesn't happen all in one session....
[8:51] Virtuola Scientist: :-)
[8:51] Hack Richard: BTW... create a closed blog for this group at http://ii-colleagues.blogspot.com/ . Invite all of you as authors. Dump all our stuff there!
[8:51] Pooky Amsterdam: oo love that
[8:52] Hack Richard: learning = discovering the relationships among key factors in complex systems
[8:52] Virtuola Scientist: right, scoping the problem is critical
[8:52] Virtuola Scientist: So, what do we see as a problem we'd like to help solve?
[8:53] Virtuola Scientist: or provide 'a' solution to?
[8:53] Hack Richard: theo... socializing SL, taking SL seriously
[8:54] Arkowitz Jonson: what about visualizing healthcare data
[8:55] Virtuola Scientist: What about visualizing data from SLED?
[8:55] Corro Moseley: SLED might be fun
[8:56] Virtuola Scientist: Hummmm.....
[8:56] Virtuola Scientist: :-)
[8:57] Pooky Amsterdam: should we do something specific- like we could all watch the 3rd man together?
[8:57] Theo Outlander: I'll post it
[8:57] Theo Outlander: not really for me
[8:57] Virtuola Scientist: Good idea to collect what people are saying in our text chat as our SOP
[8:57] Pooky Amsterdam: or go to see the data viz at other sims?
[8:57] Theo Outlander: middle of getting kids to school
[8:57] Theo Outlander: one or two earler would be nice
[8:58] Virtuola Scientist: I'm open Pooky & Theo
